A statement necklace can transform a simple and inexpensive look into something special. Wearing a statement necklace can really dress up a look. But, it needs to be done correctly, or your look can be over done. One of our favorite fashionistas, Lauren Conrad, gives some great tips on how to wear a statement necklace. Lauren Conrad gives some great tips on how to wear statement necklaces on her blog. Here are a few of her quick tips:

 – Keep it Collared. Update your oxford by buttoning your blouse all the way up. Then layer your look-at-me necklace under the collar so it is just peeking out from underneath the collar.
 – Make Your Own Necklace. If you have a bunch of old brooches lying around, pin them together onto a short chain to create your own statement necklace.
 – Minimize Distractions. Let your necklace shine by avoiding earrings all together (unless they are very subtle posts). Also, gaudy rings and excessive arm flair should be kept to a minimum. When I wear a bold necklace, I avoid extra jewelry all together. If anything, I will wear a few simple, thin band rings.
