Necks in line

Accessories can change the look of an outfit. Particularly a good necklace. Ate Bullet knows this all to well and is very fond of accessorizing her everyday outfits with a fun and funky neckpiece. 

Needless to say, whenever I see an interesting necklace, I snap it up for her. And I've been seeing a lot of them the past few months. 

An "interesting necklace" for me is something that's a statement piece. It should have a commanding presence, that's why bigger is better. There should also be a point of interest - whether it's a pendant, the color, or the material. Something should naturally stand-out. 

Luckily, the past few months, I've been seeing a lot of those in the market. Among them are these pieces:

1. A multi-colored choker from The Landmark. It has this Cleopatra-esque quality to it and will look awesome with a jewel-neck shift.


2. A gold necklace with lion details from The Ramp. The two lion heads hold together a variety of chains.


3. A bejeweled safari-inspired necklace from The Ramp. It was the Elephant pendant that did this for me.


4. A regal-looking blue neckpiece from Zara. This looks like something out of a princess or queen's jewelry collection.


5. A fabric neckpiece from Zara. Whilst this looks heavy, it's actually very light.


6. A tribal necklace from Zara. This is a eye-catching showstopper.


I've seen Ate wear some of these with her usual "white shirt and jeans" combo, and they really do lift her outfit to a much higher level.

Amazing what a good necklace can do.
