A Little Gauche Never Goes Out of Style
When it comes to fashion there are tons of things I’m afraid of: never getting the chance to wear a pair of Christian Louboutins, owning and then ruining a pair of Loubs, wearing a mini dress that is a little too mini, having platform gym shoes come back into style, bright orange fur coats, and even shorts, but one thing I definitely not scared of is a little bit of eccentricity and gauche. That’s why I’m in raptured with this necklace from Marc Jacobs.
Marc’s fall 2008 jewelry collection is primarily silver and pearl, two of my favorite things, and the over-sized pendant is not only à la mode, but the horn shape makes the pendant classic, simple, and elegant. I adore the way the cold looking silver mix with the pearl to create the perfect dichotomy of modern and vintage.
Though, I do have to say I wasn’t quite as in love with the actual collection— pastel, robe-esque coats and fluffy headbands don’t really do it for me— I do fancy almost every piece of jewelry, from the colossal necklaces to the incongruous cocktail rings.
I’m not quite sure how much this necklace costs, so I’m going to assume that its one of those ‘if you have to ask, you can’t afford it’ type of things. I do think, however, I might be able to afford one of the geometric broaches which could be parlayed into a cool hair accessory if need be.
What are your fashion fears and what jewelry trends are you looking forward to this fall?
