So many stars and fashionistas are enjoying a new trend. The Statement Necklace and other Statement jewelry can be seen in all celebrity magzaines and websites. Fun clothes and over sized baubles are making a comeback. Bold and chunky can be worn without looking like your statement is, “I’m playing in mommy’s jewelry box” . My personal style still is to tone down even these large pieces. I’ve never been able to seriously wear the Wilma Flintstone sized “pearls” lol So, these necklaces from Forzieri.com are just right for my taste. They have large prices but are still held together by a classic sterling silver chain.

Poster girl from Fashion Trend Guide gave some great tips for How To Wear – The Statement Necklace. Her first two suggestions were right on target. She says to avoid mixing bold jewelry with prints and to make sure to keep the neckline simple. I think these are key. You don’t want to look like a cacophony of wild animal prints and yard sale finds. Make your necklace look classy by making them the main attraction. For more great tips from her see How To Wear – The Statement Necklace.

Still not sure what I’m talking about. Check out the Accessory Report at WhoWhatWeardaily.com for some examples of stars going bold.

Have fun!

It is a “Wish list” right? Well, don’t expect it but I find that my hubby views it more like a grocery list and gets everything!! lol You never know…you may hit the jackpot.

If it was affordable it could not be fashion and if it were fashion then it would not be affordable. However with the commercialisation of fashion this is changing.

The rich and famous pay exorbitant prices to have exclusive control over fashion but the public at large has the numbers that bring in huge profits at small margins. Therefore the fashion industry is in two minds. Some still prefer to make exclusivity their unique selling proposition and cater to the elite few. Whereas others bring in mass-produced goods and either through marketing hype or by imitating the trend setters (or both) make a fashion statement of their own. There is the third type that sells a range of products and services and caters to the classes and the masses. The masses feel contented that by using the brand name they are in fashion. This is the contemporary face of affordable fashion.

Therefore Caribbean cruises have a higher fare for the more fashionable with everything included and a budget fare for affordable fashion that includes only the minimum with extra for the frills. Fashion houses produce the exclusive high priced range of garments in thousands of numbers, whereas similar (but not the same) moderately priced garments are manufactured in millions of pieces.

Affordable fashion has another aspect as well. If one has the attitude and poise one does not need big bucks to make a fashion statement. Funk jewellery, boldly and tastefully worn, can set a fashion trend. Faded and burnt and slashed jeans that are so much in fashion today were the creation of ordinary people who wished to be different. Jeans manufacturers entered the bandwagon much later.

So if you are gutsy and bold make your own affordable fashion. If not, there is plenty of it available in the market.
