A growing number of retailers however, are doing away with the dropped crotch part of harem pants, so they’re more wearable.

Is it just me, or have you seen anyone who’s everyone wearing statement necklaces these days? Chunky, bejewelled and thoroughly embellished, statement jewelry- necklaces in particular, is all the rage these days and it’s really not hard to see why. I love how Jessica Szohr wears hers.
