How To Be A Necklace Fashionista

If you're a fashionista, it is in your bones. It KILLS you to let anything get in your way of expressing yourself via your wardrobe, especially budget. As a chick on a budget I've learned my way around this just through necklaces. I teach singing lessons to the children of very wealthy, high society parents and they want a certain appearance from their kid's voice coach (maybe they want them to learn to be fashionistas on top of learning how to sing) so, I had to find a cheap way to do it!

The basics: tops

In whatever colors you like, but definitely include black and white, get a variety of spaghetti straps, tank tops, long sleeve, and t's. Any of these in solid colors look elegant so long as the bottoms are more dressed up, and can double as instantly casual when necessary. But, the trick is SOLID colors. A loud, graphic or patterned T can only be worn once every few weeks, so the value of it goes down.

The bold: necklaces

A necklace gives a top a whole new look. Add a statement necklace to a plain tank top, and it looks like it is a part of the top. Five different necklaces can make one simple black tank look like five different tops. The great thing about necklaces is that you can usually buy three or four for the price of a good top. So, like I said, add these to a simple top, and you basically get three or four different "tops" for the price of one.

For cheap try giant, colorful plastic beads (think Wilma Flintstone size). These look instantly elegant, but you can actually snag these for as little as $10 at places like Forever 21.

Ethnic necklaces are great, with rope, wooden pieces, feathers and the like. These will usually be a bit pricier, maybe $15 to $30 at the right place, but that's a lot cheaper than a new top!

The upside down tiara is perfect for formal occasions. Any jewelry shop, even a Claire's, will have plenty of necklaces with this look: it's the necklace that starts wide at the neck, choker style, and tiers down getting smaller and smaller, in the shape of an upside down tiara. Get one with fake stones in it, or simply one with a complicated design that covers the whole collarbone area.

Long wrap-around's are great for making the top and necklace look like one piece. Even super cheap but extra long strings of beads, wrapped around your neck multiple times creating a bundle look expensive.

Pearls! Just not real ones, of course. But try buying two or three fake strands of pearls, and pile them up. You'll feel and look like royalty, and it's just a cool spin on this classic item.
