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. A grey tee and black shorts combo is instantly taken to the next level with a fantastic piece- a casual look that turns chic and sophisticated with just one accessory! And of course, the shoes are great too. The most popular style seems to be the ‘bib necklace’. Paired with a low- key outfit, it’s a great way to make your look a whole lot dressier.

There are some fabulous options over at Forever 21 and it’s accessory-based sister store, For Love 21. Here are a few pictures from the website of the necklaces spotted at either store. There were some other very pretty ones that I saw in person as well. Unfortunately, those pictures are not up online.

 What do you think? Would you consider wearing a statement necklace?
