I have to admit, statement necklace were not my thing. I mean I was fond of them (on others of course!) but the statement accessory just seemed like a lot of fashion risk. I just probably had one statement necklace until recently and that too shopped from the by lanes of Colaba Causeway. Nothing too expensive or fancy-shmancy.
Of lately, (read - since I started my blog) I have given into trying out statement accessories - taking in inspiration from my favorite fashionistas in the virtual world. And one of the many experiments was – The Bauble/Bubble necklace. The original ‘Jcrew’ version at a freaking $$$ price, so frugalist that I am, I found myself an ‘easy on the pocket’ version of the same on a deals website – Groopdealz. My version cost me around 20 bucks.
My first time wearing the bauble necklace was definitely to go the 'tried-and-tested' way; i.e. to balance out the colors in the outfit. The necklace paired like a 'match-made-in-fashion-heaven' with my GAP colored denims; the neutral striped top completed the look.
There are so many outfits - office to casual, work to weekends - that can be styled around the bauble necklace. You can definitely buy the original version of jcrew or revert to ebay/amazon for much cheaper version. I believe you these days could also find two tone bauble necklaces too.
So my two cents after taking this fashion risk – go ahead indulge on the bauble necklace. Because the day you wear it, I promise you, you will receive compliments left and right :)

P.S. Groopdealz is an awesome deals website especially for fashion accessories - statement necklaces, earrings, bracelets, scarves, etc. The quality of items has been great but the shipping process is tad long. But since I have been in no hurry to receive the items, these deals have worked for me. You can check out the website here.

Okay, firstly I think this is one of your best looks ever. The entire thing suits you so well and I definitely think you should wear statement necklaces often because they look like they were made for you. Second; the last picture is so surreal that I feel like jumping into the picture right away.
Over all, what a lovely post :D

I am actually still afraid of these statements necklaces. They are soooo big!
I really like them, especially since you get them in so many different colours and they look so pretty, but I always fear that I won't be able to carry them off. :(
I love how you have paired the bauble necklace with your denims. It simply brings the entire outfit together and also doesn't look over-the-top. Best look ever!
You look so nice. Perfect necklace. Would you like to follow each other via bloglovin? Have a nice day.
