What's in My Bag | June 2014

I posted my very first YouTube video two weeks ago and I am very excited about it. 

I have wanted to start a YouTube channel for a while now but I wasn't sure how I would be able to do it because I don't have a camera and I'm not the best at editing. 

Also, I'm not the most outgoing person in the entire world. It is really difficult for me to talk to people, in real life, so I was a little nervous about how I would do it.

However, I finally sat down to film and I have to say that I am proud of what I did. For my first video I filmed a What's in My Bag video and I really enjoyed sharing.

Statement Necklaces

I love statement necklaces mostly because I feel like they can elevate any look. Simple outfits like a t-shirt and jeans can be dressed up or made more elegant if they have a special piece, like a statement necklace.

Many of the statement necklaces that I have come from Francesca's (who is currently having a sale btw). I bought the following two in March of this year while they were having a sale. I believe the sale was a 50% BOGO.

 

In my opinion, statement necklaces can create a completely different look in that simple, lazy day outfits are made more special if they have a piece to make them seem more dressy. This can apply to chunky bracelets, cocktail rings, midi rings, hats, scarves, or shoes. One element of a look can completely remodel the appearance of the outfit and can easily help to transition from day to night. 

For me, big, chunky necklaces also provide a pop of color. I gravitate towards more black, white, and grey in my wardrobe so having colorful jewelry brightens everything up and makes looks seem more colorful and fun. 

Please leave a comment and tell me what you think about statement necklaces.

Where do you get them and what's your favorite one?
