Make a Statement

Dress: Bailey Blue (old)  Shoes: Target  Necklace: Stella and Dot  Watch: c/o The Watch Company  Bracelet: Stella and Dot

As you can see, yesterday was quite a humid morning here in DC. (I apologize for the picture quality.) I awoke to raindrops falling and very little inspiration for getting ready. One of my favorite ways to battle this lack of inspiration is to throw on a statement necklace. I love the way they steal the show when paired with a solid dress or top. I pulled out this old dress from my closet and instantly knew it was a perfect match. Plus, it was a great way to show off the details of the necklace with my hair pulled up away from my face.

What are your favorite ways to wear a statement necklace?

With summer heat and humidy at it's peak lately, I've been turning to an old favorite: light dresses and keeping my hair off my neck. I am the kind of girl who loves to wear her hair down and keep it simple but lately I've found my hair up more often than not. Because I've been trying new updos, bringing braids back into the mix was necessary. I've said before that this is my favorite summer hairdo and I forgot why until I pulled my hair up and off my face this morning.
