A couple of weeks ago I posted about the virtues of wearing a subtle statement necklace--but I neglected to say that if you're inclined to go bold, then I'd encourage you to really go for it with a big, honking stylish declaration like the out-and-out sparkly bib choker, above. Just remember to dress around these bold, attention-getting accessories. In other words, let them speak for themselves and keep everything else simple and quiet (i.e. stick to solid colors and tonal looks). I'm loving these major statements from Erickson Beamon**, Adia Kibur, and Citrine by the Stones (plus this easy-to-wear one that's more on the demure side)--all perfect for this festive time of year.
