An Apple a Day: The Statement Necklace Girl

Last night, on my way home after Back to School Night, I stopped in at Target to pick up some cleaning supplies. Naturally I had to wander through the clothing and accessories departments first. I was so glad that I did because I happened to spot a statement necklace that I had been lusting after all summer. Lo and behold it was on clearance! When I got home, I immediately started planning outfits to match my new necklace. The outfits below were two different versions of my favorite combinations. I loved the eclectic mix of the necklace with a striped top and colored bottoms. I ended up wearing the outfit on the right to work, but I'm keeping the other one in mind for a more casual outing. Upon arriving at work, I received a lot of comments about my necklace from coworkers and students alike. One third grade teacher came to my classroom this morning because she wanted to see what cute necklace I was wearing today. Apparently I am becoming known as the statement necklace girl. I guess there are worse things to be known for than my fashion sense. Would you plan an outfit around a piece of jewelry you love?
