Fall Fashion: Standout Jewelry

When most people think of fashion trends, they think trendy clothes, shoes, or bags. But this fall it is all about big jewelry. This year in Paris during the fall fashion shows the jewelry was to die for. From the dozens of long, layered chains seen at the Givenchy fashion show (left) to the large, strong necklaces from Balenciaga and Dries van Noten it’s all about standout jewelry for fall. If you can’t afford thousands of dollars worth of jewelry then don’t worry, we’ve selected some great necklaces that will help you standout for fall. If you want lots of layered chains like seen in the Givenchy Fall 2008 collection, then you’ll love the Leopard Necklace from Betsey Johnson. This is a very subtle version of the trend. It’s great because you can throw it on with a basic tank and jeans to add some extra style to a basic outfit. Also it has little beads that make it a more girly take on the trend. Another more subtle version of the trend is Xhilaration Multi Strand Necklace from Target. This necklace features more delicate chains for a little softer look. This is another necklace that can be used to dress up a basic tank or t-shirt. Now if you prefer shorter necklaces, but still want the layered chain look then the Circle Hoop Drop Necklace from JCPenney (right) is for you. Again this is another necklace that would go great with a basic top. Because of its length it will look best with a top that has a scoop or v neck. If you like the big oversized necklaces like seen in the Balenciaga Fall 2008 show then the Beaded Tonal Twist necklace from Target is for you. We chose this necklace because it is big and oversized, but not to the point where it covers your whole neck. Whichever piece you choose remember, for necklaces this fall it’s go big or go home.
