Statement Necklaces.

Well statement necklaces aren't exactly new in the fashion world, but it's something I have only just become interested in. Considering I have my own accessories department where I work, you would also have thought I would own loads of them by now, but I actually get bored of the sight of them all. After treating myself to a haul of new clothes a few weeks ago, I thought it was about time to jump on to the bandwagon and purchase some for myself. I didn't realise just how much I would wear them after buying them either- almost every day!
The silver diamante necklace is definitely more of a going out kind of necklace for me, since it is very pretty and girly. In my post from a few weeks ago, you can see me dressing it up for a night out (read here). I seem to have my own style with fashion, and don't bother with trying to hunt for the latest fashion, or look at what celebs wear. I tend to wear what is more comfortable for me. So for me, the diamantes on the necklace dress up each outfit a little too much, and they never seem to go with what I am wearing.
 These last two are the complete opposite, which is probably why I like them so much. These two suit my fashion sense so much more, because they are much bolder with the colour. I love the fact that this one has the added black colour too though, so I can often match either my shoes or trousers with it. The only flaw i have with this necklace is the fact it is plastic rather than metal. I suppose it wont oxidize and eventually turn green, but up close it does look a bit cheap.
My last necklace is the first one i ever brought. It's still my favourite and the one I mostly return to day after day. It's so simple, yet so detailed at the same time that it fits in with almost all of my outfits. The block gold colour helps a lot too. 
I know that eventually I will end up with a ridiculous amount of statement necklaces, especially since I work around them almost every single day. Yet i'm not even worried, because these statements have become almost a necessity for my outfits. 
You can't tell from these, but i'm really trying to add a bit of colour to my outfits, honestly! Especially coming up to summer, I really want to get in to summer colours again this year, with the hippy/boohoo kind of look.

What's your take on statement necklaces?
