I have a similar one from Anthro that I like to wear with simple vee neck white tshirt, or a gold linen sweater or like others have suggested over a white button down or plain shell.&nbsp;<br />Here are some Angie tips with advice on how to wear under and over a blouse and which necklines to use<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/04/16/eight-flattering-necklines-for-the-big-necklace/">http://youlookfab.com/2013/04/.....-necklace/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-bold-necklace#post-998357 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 06:41:53 +0000 rachylou 998357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This would be fabulous with a VC tube skirt (and I do not say this just because I'm on a VC tube skirt kick!). It's the right vibe. And it would be perfect with an Anthropolgie look (hello Lyn!). And things with banded waists... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-bold-necklace#post-998351 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 06:06:04 +0000 Vix 998351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ms Maven --</p> <p>Great ideas upthread. </p> <p>It can be really fun to wear something like your gift with an otherwise casual outfit, too (jeans or shorts + T). That&nbsp;tends to get attention, so be ready. ;)</p> <p>ps I went from wearing almost no jewelry to small jewelry to much bolder stuff...I bet once you start wearing it a bit more it'll either&nbsp;become business-as-usual. Or you'll decide you're just a smaller-scale jewelry person, and there's no shame in that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-bold-necklace#post-997936 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 19:08:35 +0000 Day Vies 997936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The necklace is adorable. It's not my favorite with the top in #1 I think the florals compete. (I do love the colors and print in that blouse though!)&nbsp; I think you have the right idea in #3 the dots of the sweater are echoed in the necklace and the pairing allows the necklace to be the star of the show.&nbsp; A white bottom would be a crisp finish with possibly some muted gold metallic flats or wedge. DH has great taste.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-bold-necklace#post-997882 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 18:04:41 +0000 Beth Ann 997882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it as styled on Mme. Maven.&nbsp; I don't find it overwhelming, although the necklace AND the floral floaty top don't seem as much your style as I've seen it in your recent posts.&nbsp; I think the ideas others have put forward are excellent, and will help you see the necklace in a new, very flattering light!</p> <p>Go DH!&nbsp; Gifts are good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-bold-necklace#post-997822 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 15:41:22 +0000 Mia 997822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would look fab with a plain dress. J.

The top should be somewhat plain, as the necklace needs to be the star of the show. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-bold-necklace#post-997742 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 13:05:28 +0000 unfrumped 997742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not overwhelming at all! I would definitely try it with solids. I'd try the darkest solid you can wear, for contrast, and so with solid off- white or whatever version of beige you might wear, for a tonal all- white look. I think that would look very elegant. Or stripes or dots-- contrast the round and textural flowers with something crisper rather than being all flowery and soft. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-bold-necklace#post-997672 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 05:24:59 +0000 Adelfa 997672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is very flattering to your hair, features, and complexion! &nbsp;Hubby did good!

I&nbsp;would wear it with a plainer top to make the necklace the star of the show. What a lovely hubby </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-bold-necklace#post-997529 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 00:05:27 +0000 MsMaven 997529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all of you. &nbsp;You have given me some ideas, and come to think of it, thanks to NAS I have some new clothes. &nbsp;I think the necklace will work well with the VC tube skirt in the black/white animal print, and possibly a black tunic shirt I've only worn a few times. &nbsp;I like the idea of wearing it with a collared shirt so the whole thing doesn't show. &nbsp;It is so different than what I usually wear that I haven't been too adventurous.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-bold-necklace#post-997507 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 23:04:23 +0000 Anonymous 997507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh it is gorgeous!

You need to wear this every chance you get while it is on trend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-bold-necklace#post-997493 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 22:16:40 +0000 lyn* 997493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely LOVE that necklace (LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE); If you want to keep it farther from your face, you can always add a few little links at the back to extend the necklace.</p> <p>I think it's so beautiful with the neckline in #3; and have you tried wearing it over your button down top?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-bold-necklace#post-997481 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 21:37:57 +0000 goldenpig 997481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! It looks so pretty with both shirts! I don't think it looks overwhelming at all! Could you tuck it inside a shirt if you don't want to display the whole necklace? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-bold-necklace#post-997479 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 21:33:16 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 997479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it.&nbsp; I have a similar one from Banana Republic.&nbsp; I like it with #3.&nbsp; I would also try it outside of a shirt collar of a solid colored button front shirt, if it is extentable to the right length.&nbsp; The shirt collar would cover up some of it and just leave the front on display.&nbsp; That might give you less of the feeling of being overwhelmed, but it doesn't look overwhelming to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-bold-necklace#post-997472 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 21:17:06 +0000 MsMaven 997472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last year my husband was shortcutting through Nordstrom on his way to the Apple store when a display at Fashion Jewelry caught his eye. &nbsp;With the help of a person he described as a Little Old Lady, he picked out a Kate Spade necklace and brought it home as a surprise for me. &nbsp;Usually he doesn't venture into the jewelry department unless I'm along. &nbsp;</p> <p>This necklace is nothing like anything I usually wear, and I might have taken it back. &nbsp;It reminded me, however, of the very first piece of jewelry I bought myself when I was 12. &nbsp;(That was a single pendant.) &nbsp;So I kept it, but I've only worn it 2-3 times, and only with the Elie Tahari top in the photo. &nbsp;(I'm not a big fan of florals either and don't wear this top often, although I like it.)</p> <p>&nbsp;I see that big dramatic necklaces are popular in stores and I've seen some of you wearing them. &nbsp;I'd like to wear this more, but feel like it overwhelms me. &nbsp;Any help or suggestions would be welcome. &nbsp;</p> <p>The last photo is a better view of the necklace modeled by Mme. Maven and a BR tee shirt. &nbsp;I think low contrast is better for me. &nbsp;Ideas? &nbsp;Or should I just keep it in its box? </p>
