Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Colorful Statement Necklaces

June 20, 2015 by Katie Haller

When it comes to jewelry, some girls like to wear big rings, some like big earrings, others like to accessorize with watches and bracelets…for me, it’s all about colorful necklaces.  In case you can’t tell from my recent outfit post and pins on Pinterest, I’m currently obsessed with big, colorful, chunky statement necklaces.  I love putting together outfits and accessorizing them with a pop of color.  A statement necklace is a perfect way to take a simple outfit and add a little flair to it.

Today I wanted to share 5 of my favorite statement necklaces from my closet.  I picked out 5 different types of tops that are perfect for accessorizing with a statement necklace.

My first necklace is this 3 strand beaded green necklace.  This one is my favorite necklace right now.  I just love the color!  I bought this necklace about 2 years ago from Target.  I had my eye on it for a while, but I didn’t want to spend the $20 on it.  Every time I was at Target, I’d check to see if it was still there.  I waited for a few months and one day it was on clearance for 50% off, so I decided to buy it.

I paired this necklace with a solid black shirt.  I absolutely love how the green looks against the black.  Black is the perfect color to accessorize with a colorful necklace.

I’ve had this red bead necklace in my closet since college.  I like to hold on to certain items throughout the years and find new ways to wear them.  I have to say that I’ve gotten a lot of use out of this necklace over the years.  It’s the perfect accessory whenever I need a touch of red in my outfit.  I can’t remember how much I spent on this necklace, but I know it wasn’t much.  I bought it at Aldo.

I wore my red necklace with a striped shirt.  I love stripes because it’s such a basic pattern.  Adding a colorful statement necklace to the outfit really spouses up the top.

This is my bubble necklace.  I love this necklace!  I had been looking for an inexpensive bubble necklace for the longest time when I found this one.  I bought it last year at Charming Charlie. Charming Charlie is a great store to find inexpensive trendy jewelry.  Most of their necklaces start around $15 or $20, but the best is that they always have a great clearance section.  That’s where I found this necklace for $9.99.  (If you look closely, you will see that the bottom circle is missing 2 beads.  It was actually missing 1 bead when I bought it, but I thought that it looked silly with 2 beads, so I took the other one-off and left the middle bead.  Sometimes when you have to get creative when your discount shopping and make do with a great deal.)

 I really love how a bubble necklace looks with polka dots.  That’s why I decided to pair my necklace with this polka dot blouse.

This is another necklace that I’ve had since college and I still love it.  I found this turquoise bead necklace on clearance at Kohl’s years ago.  This necklace is one of my favorites accessories to bring on vacation when I go someplace warm and tropical.
 
This summer, I’ve been wearing this necklace a lot with other bright colors, like this hot pink shirt.  I love how bright and colorful it looks together.

This is my newest statement necklace.  I bought this coral necklace in January, right before I moved to Las Vegas.  I found it on clearance at Charming Charlie for $7.99.  I love the color and the shape of it.  It is different than my other necklaces. 
 I wore it with a black sleeveless button-down blouse.  I like to add a cute necklace when I wear a button-down shirt.  (Similar necklace here here here)
Those are just a few ways that you can accessorize a simple outfit with a fun colorful necklace.   Hopefully, you already have some statement necklaces in your closet, but if you don’t you can find one for a great price if you just keep your eyes open.  My favorite stores to shop for statement necklaces are Charming Charlie, Kohls and Target.  I suggest looking in the clearance sections for the best deals!  Good luck and have fun accessorizing your wardrobe!

    Wow! Your necklaces are stunning! I love how you mix and match your accessories with your outfits. My personal favorite look of yours would have to be the one where you're in a pink shirt and jeans with that turquoise bead necklace. That is just so chic. Hahaha! Anyway, thanks for sharing that, Katie! Stay gorgeous!
