Chunky Necklace…Mid Week Fashion Boost

March 7, 2013

It’s Wednesday and I need a little fashion inspiration.  I wore jeans to work today (shhhh) and after cooking spaghetti, giving my kids a bath and washing dishes it’s not my home that needs sprucing up…if you know what I mean.

I love chunky necklaces…particularly the ones that incorporate fabric and jewelry.  I found my way over to Etsy where they have an amazing collection of one of kind, hand-made pieces that can totally change the look of your outfit.  Jeans and a tee-shirt….eh.  Jeans, tee-shirt and an amazing statement necklace…much better!

Take a look at these and see if they inspire you.

The individual strips on this piece mimic a multi-strand necklace but the fabric makes it more of a scarf.  Either way…love it.  $18 on Etsy.

Hand printed and handmade of organic cotton in Brooklyn, NY, this piece is more pricey at $74.  That being said, I can’t imagine any outfit this wouldn’t make look instantly more fabulous.

This was crocheted…really.  I love the chunky beads and the waves and curls of the fabric.  According to the site this piece made it to the front page of Etsy; $47.50.

So, this would be a special occasion piece but can you see it paired with a strapless dress to a summer wedding?  Vintage inspired, gorgeous, $75.

These cloth covered beads are cute and would look great for everyday wear.  $28 on Etsy.

I hate to tell you that this one is $135 but does it make it better that it’s handmade of light powder glass pearls?  The idea is what I love though…layers of beading and materials.  So pretty!

Do you think any of these overnight?  : )  Officially inspired.
