The lovely bubbles.

Hello again!

So...

Have you ever been slapped with news that automatically makes you want to shop?

Kind of like hearing that the college you're transferring to has an extremely strict business dress code. Right?

I found that little bit out about two weeks ago, and being the fashion junkie I am, I began shopping.

The necklaces shown are statement pieces called rightfully so, bubble necklaces.  JCrew is widely recognized for being the original creator of these beautiful pieces. 

JCrew, though, charges around $150 per necklace. 

Me, being the college student I am, couldn't imagine spending that on anything but gas and books.

   

Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing JCrew in any way, shape, or form. I love the idea of the necklace and I'm sure the quality of their necklace is probably incredible. The two I purchased look identical to the original bubble necklaces, but cost....drum roll please...

$5.99 each.                     

I purchased them from an Ebay seller about a week ago and they arrived today. I am so pleased with the quality. If you ebay search bubble necklace, you can find so many in all different colors. In all honesty, I truly believe you get what you pay for. I was expecting much less than what I received with these necklaces. You can find this style of necklace pretty much anywhere now, though. I've seen them everywhere from Ebay, to Etsy, and boutique type sites like Marley Lilly. 

I'm planning on styling them with a collared shirt, so that it adds a little bit of fun to a plain button down.  Once I figure out an outfit with them (which I have many in my mind right now), I'll either do a post, or feature them on my Instagram - @Kristendari. 

How do you style statement pieces?

If you have instagram, take a photo of your favorite piece of statement jewelry and tag me in it, once again @Kristendari so I can get more ideas!   

I hope you guys are having a beautiful end of May!

Talk to you all soon.

Until then,

-K.
