OVERSIZE NECKLACES

After the overwhelming enthusiasm for the huge gold Givenchy chains in yesterday's post, CC decided to dedicate a not insignificant amount of time to rounding up fall's oversize necklaces, both on the runways and in stores. Today's post has 2 PARTS: Huge Necklaces & Gold Necklaces! As always, runway first, then real way!

  1. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!! Gorgeous selection Carrie! I love oversized necklaces, bracelets, rings and some earrings. I tend to stay away from oversized gold jewelry though because it can look very gaudy.

    Thanks for your lovely comment darling! I think I may try a nice, sunny yellow nail polish like yours next!

  5. Thanks, Gals!

    D: totally agree on the gaudy gold, but think when worn in over-the-top amounts, it can be kind of ironic and therefore okay?

    Boe - likewise!

    FC: You are quite welcome!

    Crave - excellent idea!!

  45. Really love the oversized necklace, but it's quite difficult to find the cloth. But anyway the oversized necklace makes our fashion more outstanding and unique. Love it. http://pailinfashiondesign.blogspot.com/2009/12/do-we-need-oversized.html
