is this necklace 'too much' for midday Sunday afternoon lunch?

I wanted to try out my new necklace and originally paired it with this outfit and my red and silver flats. The BF declared it 'too much' for daytime and I kinda agree. So, I switched out the red flats for the black zippers. Is it still 'too much'? Should I save this statement piece for nights out?

pic #2 shows the shoes and #3 is a better close up of the necklace.

He is off screen making me laugh about it all BTW.

ETA: after waffling I went with #4

lol; *hi mo's boyfriend* *wave* I think he may be right; I would save this necklace for night (it's totally awesome, btw); or maybe dress it down further with jeans.

Have a fun lunch!

I voted Nay--I think it's fine! The t-shirt you've paired it makes the whole outfit casual in my book! (A great casual outfit!)

I even think the red flats are fine! They ARE flats, after all. Great necklace too!

Bon appetit!

If it doesn't get in your soup it should be fine--it's very cool--love that there's lots to it!

Ha! I doubted myself and changed into my white Target dress. Then the BF said he had to change out of a designer tee into a woven. LOL. Maybe we'll get to eating at some point . . .

I think it's great in the outfit as is. The shirt and skirt are very simple and let the necklace take center stage. I'm so glad that you went for it, Mo!

What a fun necklace - love the shoes too!

Thanks for the replies everyone! But can you believe it was much ado about nothing, as we ended up simply hitting the grocery to cook up lunch at home lol!! It was a well dressed car ride - Ha! But we are going to steam some crab legs and grill up sirloin steaks so I'm looking forward to our late lunch bbq.

I actually like that necklace with the white t shirt, but I tend to like an unexpected mix of dressy/casual. I think you can totally pull it off things that are a bit more dramatic. Not everyone can (that necklace would wear me, for instance!)

Late here but I think you can totally wear that necklace out in the daylight :)!

Love the necklace, it's so unique! Wear it and enjoy it!

Also a little late to the party but wanted to say I agree w/ Kari. I think it looks great precisely because the rest of the outfit is so understated. If your top or skirt had much embellishment I think it might have been a bit too much, but as shown it's perfect.

Love #1 for day, all three should would look great! SO glad you got the necklace, you totally rock it. I do also like the outfit you ended up wearing, and hope you ate your lunch picnic style because it totally makes me think of picnics
