Statement Necklaces. Not sure how I ever survived without them. (I survived just fine.) They can add so much to an outfit, turning it from something ordinary into something interesting. And, really. Who wants to be ordinary?!

Cords: BlankNYC, similar here in white denim (Clearly a favorite!) / Shirt: Forever21, similar here / Flats: J.Crew Factory / Necklace: Groopdealz (Original inspiration for the necklace: J.Crew. This one was found by my Instagram buddy, @msthymadeline! Thanks, girl! Find it on Etsy!) / Striped bracelet: c/o Henri Bendel / Watch: Marc Jacobs / Bracelets: Bracelet: J.Crew (old), similar here and here; C.Wonder; Kate Spade

Let’s face it. We all have those days when we can’t imagine getting up early and putting time and thought into our wardrobes. Typically, this happens for me on Mondays. ;) But it’s incredible how much a statement necklace can add to a simple getup, like a t-shirt and jeans… or a wrinkled button-down and cords. Whoops. Whatevs.

So get on board. Let’s explore some of the best statement necklaces from this season (and some leftovers from last season)!

C.Wonder: Faceted Stones Drama Necklace
