If you read my blog often, you’ll know that I’m all about Affordable Statement Necklaces. I want a necklace that enters the room before I do (so to speak) and packs a visual punch. This is why I’m incredibly happy about Tessies giving me this fab ‘Look At Me’ necklace from their eye-catching jewellery collection.
First things first, this necklace retailing at £11.99 is not for The Wallflower type, it’s enriched with lots of detailing, layers, embellishment and for me, that just adds to its distinct charms.
I chose to dress the necklace down by pairing it with an African batik print dress and for those who like their Casual Daywear tweaked with accessories, this is the perfect necklace for that. Can’t you just see this necklace looking divine on a simple fitted white vest and skinny jeans? Maybe throw on a beige trench coat for good measure and some stratospheric heels? And with Festival Vibes still thick in the air, and us girlies (secretly)trying to out-do each other in the Style Stakes, this ‘Globetrotter-esque’ piece will set you ahead of the pack.
The necklace’s heavy gold detailing also make it ideal for a balmy summer’s evening event: perhaps to a dinner, concert, ball: the options are limitless.
3 Tips When Wearing A Statement Necklace
1) Let the necklace take center stage and play things down with your other accessories. In these images, as you can see, I’m still wearing a lot of accessories, but none of them are fashioned on a scale as large as my necklace.
2) Pick one strong theme from the Statement Necklace and build on it. So for example, I chose to run with my necklace’s gold theme which resulted in all my accessories having a golden tone to unify the look.
3) Ensure the outfit you wear compliments your statement necklace. For example, due to the World Traveller Meets Tribal Queen In Blingdom feel of my necklace, I decided to go with an outfit with strong African/Ethnic themes.

I agree on the statement pieces, especially since it’s still festival season, although I won’t be wearing much jewelry.
Super sensitive skin and unless the metal is pure (100% gold or silver), I immediately break out in hives.
It’s especially bad in these hot ass summers.
Keep on keeping on you sexy thing 😀

Aaah, your skin only bends to 100% quality, that means no man can give you any cheap Ish! My ears used to be like that, they would balloon up if the metal wasnt pure, but now luckily for me they take aaaalmost anything! Have a good Monday hon! X

The necklace is fab- i like the way you rocked! It also seems really versatile- I can imagine it on a white buttoned up shirt for the office. Would that make sense?

You could totally rock this necklace with a buttoned white shirt in an office, but it would have to be a creative office, like a magazine, or TV production office etc. Thanks for stopping by!
