"layer it, just a little bit..." (or a lot)

It seems like the layered necklaces are here to stay. Not that I would stop wearing them regardless. One of the best parts of layered necklaces...they can be worn all year long. Depending on the type of shirt, the necklaces help accentuate a different look. They can turn basic pieces into a livelier look. For instance, if your work environment involves you wearing basic solid colors, throwing on a layered necklace can give you that little "edge" without going overboard.

If you want a classier look, you should stick to simple delicate chains of the same material. (Hint: You could always purchase yards of silver/gold chain and just wrap them as many times as you want around your neck) Or you could bling out with more bold and chunky pieces. Mix and match if you dare. Pair a simple layered chain with a gemstone/bead layered necklace. Find a bunch of different sized pendant necklaces and layer up on those. Some advice though, when wearing all these layers, be careful that you don't close your necklace in a drawer or get hooked onto a kid. (Not that these have happened to me)

This was the ultimate find. Talk about having your cake and eating it too. It totally satisfies my cross and layered obsession. I loved how different each of the crosses were, from simple to more ornate. It was actually the last one in the store. The price range was definitely not the amount I would normally ever spend but when you shop with other girls, they tend to help you give into indulgences. Only after I bought it back home, did I realize that it was manufactured wrong, the chains were attached tangled so no matter how hard I tried to detangle it, it would be useless. Luckily, with some help (holding the chains up for me), I was able to attach them the right way. On a fun note, I actually won some money off a scratchy so the necklace is now paid for!
