Last week I posted about a statement scarf. Even though the weather has been on and off warm/cool the past few weeks, the hot days are becoming very hot, and a scarf sometimes is not plausible.

In the summer, when the weather is beautifully warm, the days are busy, and there isn't much time to throw together a creative ensemble, a bright, big necklace is the perfect alternative to dress up a simple t-shirt and jeans (or trousers for work).  

I found these affordable necklaces above, and I love them! Specifically, I have been looking at Bauble Bar, Anthropologie, and Forever 21. They have affordable, beautiful pieces that you can keep for a long time. However, I really want a nice piece from Henri Bendel, or of course, the most expensive pieces from Anthropologie. haha

I saw a beautiful neon pink necklace at F21 this past weekend, but to my dismay, it had a scratch or something on it! I was so disappointed. I will probably end up purchasing a necklace there, because they are so affordable (only about $10!!), and if I get tired of looking at it, I won't feel guilty about the price tag.

How do you feel about colorful, "loud" necklaces like these?
