The bag


I've been wating for such a long time for this bag to come into my life, and finally it's here! I'm in love with its shape and colour - and the best part: I can afford to buy it because it is on sale now! I have this very strong feeling that it will be glued to my arms for a good while.

Inspiration: statement necklace

What makes something a statement piece? It definitely means an interesting, eye-catching wardrobe item, which reflects your personality or your mood, and they are usually - but not necessarily - colourful and quite unique. Luckily, statement necklaces come in almost every shape, size and color - and are always available in everyone's size :) 



Honestly, I'm not that type of person who always wears an accessory (though it is a constant fight with myself to get rid of that bad habit), so me and my statement pieces are still trying to get to know each other better. But I'm pretty sure that it won't take that long, since there are many reasons why these items can be our best friends when it comes to accessories.
First of all, we have to admit - we all repeat our outfits, sometimes twice in a week. Because, let's face it: we don't always have the time or energy to think about what are we going to wear on the next day, and that's the time when we just throw on our favourite pair of jeans with a t-shirt (or the black pencil skirt with a simple blouse). So, one of the best ways to make a repeated outfit look fresh is by adding a statement necklace to it. Obviously, it won't make it look completely different, but it will add freshness and some 'spirit' to the ensemble.
Secondly,  there are days when you need to go straight from casual  to classy or 'party ready'. With no time to make wardrobe changes, statement necklace lets you to improvise your A.M. look to a P.M. setting.

All in all, it worth the effort to find the perfect piece(s) for your wardrobe. You can start with some low-key pieces, and if you feel like experimenting, take a look at the bigger and more colorful ones.
