Because I'm on a kick of looking for gothy "statement" necklaces, with skulls. Like ooooh, this Tarina Tarantino White Widow necklace. (clicky-link!)



Or this Betsey Johnson "Vintage Vicky" necklace. (yes, clicky-link!)



Or even this sort of necklace, made from all sorts of bits of vintage jewelry. (yet another clicky-link!)



(Okay, that one isn't the right colors for me, but I like the idea of it.)

One the one hand, I could make a necklace like that pretty easily. (Hoo boy, could I. My stash of vintage jewelry bits is kind of astonishing.) But would I ever wear it? Would it just look like a mess with my style? These are the things I'm not sure of.

This post brought to you by looking for distractions of shiny things, obviously. ::grin::

I tend to find that those "bits of things" collage necklaces work best either with an extremely stark, simple outfit, or something flowy and pre-Raphaelite. I think something like that might look a bit odd with your more tailored, formal yet whimsical style.

But I could be completely wrong and there's nothing wrong with trying.

(BTW, I think the phrase "statement [whatever]" is ridiculous. ALL clothing makes a statement.)
