Mark. Show Me Your Metal Necklace
As you know, I believe that accessories can be the thing that can make an outfit, finish a look and add some spice the basics in your wardrobe. Accessories are versatile and a small investment in a necklace, a great bracelet or a pair of earrings can get a lot of mileage.
Take, for example, a recent Fab Find of mine, the Mark. Show Me Your Metal Necklace that I recently acquired and plan on using liberally in my own personal styling. The ornately detailed layered leaves in burnished brass make for a big necklace that can stand out but also blend in at the same time. The price is also right at $24.00 While this necklace can take you well into the fall season, I think it’s a great look that you can start using now to spice up your summer looks.
Here are some of the outfits I put together using this necklace.
