Last week, Huffington Post Women's Senior Lifestyle Editor Lori Fradkin appealed to our ability in their new affection "Help Wanted". Lori wrote in to ask us how we'd appearance her new bib-style necklace. Here, Fashion Editor Christina Anderson weighs in on how to abrasion this account allotment in accustomed life.
The bolt chaplet is a archetypal bib chaplet and it makes absolutely a statement. But the tulle bolt and applique agreement makes it ablaze abundant to be beat year-round (as against to abundant necklaces that can accomplish you bathed on those hot summer days).
My aboriginal anticipation back I saw the chaplet was that back it is an emphasis piece, it should be commutual with article basic. What could be added basal than a white t-shirt? We approved the allotment two means with the archetypal staple: We larboard it blind loosely, but it concluded up attractive like a lei, so we had to adjust. Once we beneath the strap, the chaplet looked like it was allotment of the top and the shirt became its own moment. Beat with jeans and heels, Lori was accessible for a night on the town.
Next we commutual it with the simple LBD. The chaplet was like ketchup on a burger: the dress was appealing abundant on its own, but the collar absolutely fabricated the look. All of a abrupt the apparent atramentous dress looked actual special.
The aftermost attending we approved was the best daring: we tucked it into a anorak so aloof a bit of the ruffles peeked out. Beat with aloof high-waisted pants, the jacket/necklace admixture would absolutely be a chat starter.
The added I looked at it, the added the chaplet reminded me of the annoyed collar from Elizabethan times. To abrasion it, Lori will accept to absolutely own it. If not, the chaplet will abrasion her -- an accessible assignment if she isn't assured enough. Another affair to agenda is that back you abrasion a decidedly ample allotment of jewelry, it is apprenticed to move around. My admonition to Lori was to use airy bifold stick band to attach the allotment to her dress or top so that it stays in place.
When the shoot was over I asked Lori if she'd abrasion any of the looks we tried. Cautiously, she answered, "Maybe. The white bodice attending acquainted the best accustomed to me, so that's area I'd start." We'll see if she takes our advice; we absolutely achievement so. That chaplet is too appealing to be retired to a aphotic drawer.
