Want! Over the Top Neckalces

By -

I've become obsessed with over the top necklaces. I love anything with mutiple strands, tons of charms, asymmetrical layers and a lot going on. I started falling in love with super busy costume jewelry when I was working at Macy's selling mostly Betsey Johnson jewelry like this multi-layered charm necklace (pictured left).

These necklaces are great for adding interest to a basic outfit. Over the top necklaces can take jeans and tee to a whole new level. Since these are such statement pieces, they are the only accessory an outfit needs so they are pretty easy to style..

I've been seeing more and more of this fun jewelry, like this Subversive for Target necklace (pictured right), which I might go buy right after I finished this post.

I've been searching for more and more statement pieces like these since I tend to wear a lot of basics. So far, I've had the best luck finding amazing necklaces on Etsy. The styles range from lovely and layered to charms gone wild to cute and quirky.

Here of some of the great necklaces I've found there so far:

Top Row:
Bells of Love by staroftheeast
Attack of the Giant Butterfly by mking43
Turcq Odalisque by AncaNY
Loverush by Mikiye

Bottom Row:
Dripping with Pearls by TheLetterG
Feminine Wiles MmeFortuna
The Royal Medallion by Ameera
Giant Multicoloured Button Necklace by itsalovelycake

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at ...

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
