Have you ever put an outfit together just the way you have seen it in a magazine or on Pinterest and despite your best try something still didn't feel right? Count me in. I have done that a hundred times. Something was always off! But I think I have finally gotten to the bottom of the problem. I never used any accessories. Even the cutest dress or the sexiest top won't look picture perfect without the right necklace! I also could never understand how all these girls look so damn cool wearing a regular T-shirt with a simple skirt or denim. Again they were also wearing an amazing necklace and bracelet with it!!!
It certainly looks like choosing the right necklace is as important as selecting clothes that accentuates your best assets. It can make your figure look slimmer, can make you taller or shorter and it can bring your best facial features out.
For example, if you would like to slightly accent your bust, select a necklace that is 20 to 22 inches in length, as it will draw attention just below the collarbone or above the top of the bust. And if you are flat-chested, long, thin chains will look graceful and elegant on your body frame. Isn't that great!!! If you are full-figured, do not wear necklaces that sit on or below the breast line, as this length necklace will not hang properly. Instead, try a necklace that sits slightly higher on the body, such as an 18- to 22-inch one.
Of course you can also break all the rules and do it your way!!!
In my picture I'm wearing a boatneck blouse and according to the cheat sheet I should pair it with long bead necklace, but I just couldn't pass on this chocker. I think it still does the job!!!
