The accessory section in a thrift store is sometimes the most neglected, but you would be surprised by the gems you find. Before selecting your next statement piece, keep in mind the top’s neckline you’d like to wear it with. Accessories can take your outfit from flat to FABULOUS!

A turtleneck is best paired with a long chain or pendant. For V-Necks, you want to choose a necklace that also creates a V-shape. Select a collar or bib necklace if you’re going to style a Crew Neckline, which has a round neckline with no collar. Avoid chokers or long chains with Crews. While there are many ways to style strapless or tube tops, a choker will create a refined and exciting look. An elegant and conservative Boat Neck with a long-beaded necklace or chain is best, but layer it with necklaces of different lengths if you want to create drama. An Off-the-Shoulder asymmetric top can be somewhat tricky to style because it can seem off-balance, but your look will go perfectly if you aim for a symmetrical busy necklace.
