Neck Exercise

April 29th, 2010


Forever 21 Top (seen here),  J.Crew and Forever 21 Necklaces, Michael Kors Watch, Vintage Bracelet, Pleasure Doing Business Skirt, H&M Tights, Fendi Wedges

Ever since I posted this collage last week of chunky necklaces, I’ve been looking for a few pieces to wear together for a dramatic effect.  Turns out, the ones shown online are never quite as impressive in person and fall short in terms of their overall girth and presence.  I found this and this from J.Crew yesterday and could have easily walked out with several similar variations.  The four pounds of metal dangling from my neck leaves me slightly sore, but I’m already on the hunt for my next piece to throw into the mix.

    I’m so happy I finally scored this top at f21! I actually wore it the other night with black pants and wedges to the Phoenix concert in dc:)

    Love this outfit! I only recently discovered the greatness of layering necklaces! It’s such a cool look! I went to the launch party of this new jewelry line the other day – the pieces are gorgeous and definitely do not lack substance!

    I love how much edge there is to this outfit and the lace top adds just a pop of sweetness. Very dramatic indeed!

    loooooooooove the outfit, Emily. You always put everything together so nicely.

    Question: what camera do you use? who takes these pics for you?

    I love that top! I tried it on at F21 after seeing you in it, but it doesn’t quite look as good on me.

    You are gorgeous! The necklaces are pretty, but Im totally digging that lace top. Been looking for something similar in black. I am now following you! :)

  • http://tulletarte.blogspot.com Jen Tarte

    I love that you combined the necklaces together! But yes, I so know what you mean about them being heavy. Even one of mine is heavy on it’s own!

  • http://lemondroplove.com/ Jennifer

    I love this outfit, I feel like this is the perfect look for the summer. I love skirts and tucked in cute tops with a chunky necklace or two. I have been on the hunt for a couple key pieces to wear. I feel like you can dress it up or down :)

    I absolutely love that lace top! And what a clever name for the skirt :)

    I have that F21 top & love it – interesting idea to just tuck in the front slightly. I also love the perfect combo of necklaces (esp that long one!) and they look great over that top! Only complaint – too much eyeliner on bottom? VTartak – check out her FAQ.

    I adore that F21 top – so cute and great for the warmer weather headed to CA.

    I have the same exact skirt and have been trying to pair it with a Spring top and seeing this gave me so many ideas. thank you. i love that no matter the season you aren’t afraid to wear black. black is a staple in my wardrobe.

    Love this look – as always :) The necklaces are great! My first outfit post was wearing several vintage necklaces that looks like this look! Love J. Crew jewelry lately!

    stunning! i love the lace top and the necklaces are awesome!

  • Marci

    I just picked up this top at F21 and it’s just as cute in person! I love both ways you paired it- with the more casual boyfriends and this lovely skirt and tights.

  • http://www.walterhelenaphotography.blogspot.com Walter Helena Photography

    Not everyone could fit into that skirt and look as decadent. I’ll always be a lover of gold chunky jewelry paired with the simplicity of black and white.

    That lacy top is so classically elegant (I can’t ever get enough lace). And, the way you’ve paired it with the chunky jewelry gives the whole ensemble a contemporary flair. Bravo!
