Need Help: How To Wear Ann Taylor’s Bib Necklace

I just got my Ann Taylor Bib Necklace and need help figuring out a way to wear it to work. I didn’t expect it to be so big and shiny! Ann Taylor tweeted me and suggested that I pair it with a white collared shirt and have it peek it out for a little bit of bling. Unfortunately I don’t have a plain white button up!

It’s super pretty but a little too dressy for work so I’m trying to figure out what to wear it with! So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! It’s a final sale so there’s no returning it. I must find a way to wear it!!!

Since we are on the topic of necklaces, here is the Lia Sophia I won from Petite Little Girl’s Giveaway!

 
Sorry for the lack of photos, I was in a hurry and wasn’t in the photo taking mood:) Here’s a close-up of the necklace:
It’s a really cute necklace and I am super happy I won! Thank you to PLG for hosting it! 🙂
I went shopping this weekend and didn’t find too much. I managed to score a few things.
Pair of low heel navy blue pumps from Nordstrom Rack. I found a  similar pair HERE also with a low heel. This is the only color I don’t have and figured for the price tag of $39.95 for leather pumps and they fit and are super comfortable, I couldn’t go wrong.
Looks black but it’s really navy…and looks like a grandma shoe but it’s super cute when its on!!!
I found this LOFT skirt in 00p and since it’s not a final sale, I grabbed it and wanted to see if I cold pair it with something cute for work. If not, it’ll go back. See it on AN here. I wanted to try on the pink too but they didn’t have a 00p! PetiteXXS tried it on here.
I also got in Ribbon Pink. Fits really nice and can be dressed up.
I have been seeing this every time I go in and the price keeps going down and down so for $27.99 and it fits nicely, I bought it!
I went to Forever 21, H &M, Ann Taylor, BR and LOFT and found nothing good this weekend! 🙁 Maybe that’s a good thing?? I do have some pumps coming in the mail to look forward to from Ann Taylor so I guess I can’t complain!
I gotta vent about Forever 21 for a second, I used to be able to handle the chaos (loud music, teeny boppers etc..) but this time I just had to walk out after attempting to try on 2 tops that looked like they were possibilities. Not sure if their sizings are getting bigger but I haven’t found anything cute there in a long time! Is it just me? Did anyone else get anything good this past weekend?

Lookbook: Two Outfits With One Top

Leave a comment!

  1. Sounds like you got few nice things this weekend. Pair Ann Taylor necklace with a white button down shirt seems like a right path to go since the necklace is so fany. Lia Sophia necklace goes well with your outfit. I am glad you like it. I am looking forward to your future reviews

  2. Ohh that necklace is soooo pretty! 🙂 I absolutely adore the necklace! I love the green and black on you. I feel so lame, I look for your newest post at least once a day. Hahah! I just love your blog that much!!! Hehehe!

  3. I am loving the pink design by the way! Your blog is sooo professional! I need to work on mine for sure. 🙂

  4. @PetiteLittleGirl- Thank you again for my necklace! I love it!!

    @April- Awe….you are not lame whatsoever- I am HONORED and FLATTERED! Thank you sooooooo much!!!!!! And you like my new layout? You are just THE BEST! That really means a lot to me!!!!

    @The Little Dust Princess- strapless is a great idea! I want to try to wear it to work too 🙂

  5. Are you sure you were not in photo taking mood? You look fabulous! A green top looks really good on you..love the details on the upper arms. The bib necklace seems perfect for evening events..it is gorgeous but too bling bling for me to wear to work.

  6. I actually wouldn't pair it with a white button down but a colored one! The jewelry will pop more as well as be modestly peeking out from the neckline of a button down.

    The Little Dust Princess suggested a strapless, yesss I definitely can see that! Oh, oh a blazer on top for day and just dress + necklace for night time!

  7. Awww 🙁 I hauled a lot of awesome stuff at F21 but that's just because our mall's is like .. the size of 10 normal F21's. It's a crazy expansion. Sorry you couldn't find anything! I feel overwhelmed in there every time. They do make everything too big x_x Small is quite big D:

    That big necklace is really cute for formal events! Find a white scoopneck tee just like in the picture 😀

  8. that's a pretty necklace. and $27.99?! that's awesome, I bought a blazer last week for $70 -_- sighhh still kind of bummed about that but it was the last of my size

  9. I bought the LOFT skirt as well, both colors. 🙂 It's shipped, so I'm eagerly waiting to see if any of them will fit me. 🙂

  10. I never find anything in my size on LOFT's website 🙁

    Try shopping on F21's website – you won't deal with the annoying loud music, crappy sales/customer associates, or rude teenagers. Their return policy is a lot better too – you can mail your returns directly for a real refund (not store credit) or if you want to have store credit to spend, you can also return the stuff you bought online to the retail store. Plus, there are cuter stuff on their website that I haven't found in their stores. You might want to check out their Love21 line. It's my favorite because it's not "teeny bopper" trendy. It's more like contemporary trendy. They had some very cute work blazers a few weeks ago!

  11. again, thank you so much for the beautiful clutch 😀 everyone's drooling all over it hehe ^__^ you're too kind with your comment 😀

  12. lol at your chanel commment, ugh I know, I hate fakes! esp when you have the real thing and you see some 12 year old carry a fake one.. I wanted to smack this chick when I saw her carrying a LV speedy that the LV and the logos didn't even line up!

  13. Great necklace! For work, I'd either pair it with a v-neck sweater or a high crew neck/turtleneck top so that it looks kind of like it's part of the top. =)

  14. hmmmmmm i usually just hop on over to forever 21's accessories section. for clothes i pretty much actually only order online and have had a huge success with.. usually i end up receiving a giant package with a lot of wearables and then a lot of what the hell did i buy this fors. hehe but that's the fun part, figuring out how to style it so it looks wearable.. 🙂

  15. @libbeh- that sucks about LOFT's website! I have that issue too! I have better luck in the stores!!! And thanks for the idea on ONLINE for F21! I will check it out!!

    @Stylepint- thanks for the tip!

    @hobovogue- I think I'm too lazy to figure out how to style things, I just like to put it on and hope it looks good..heheheh
