Click to shop all of these looks here! Cheers to the holiday season and all of its fabulous clothes and accessories!! Thanks for reading! XX- Molly The Harper Feather Necklace by Stella & Dot is my favorite accessory, especially for the holidays!! It's so fabulous, y'all!! While it is flashy and makes a statement, it is also surprisingly versatile. Today, I'll walk you through the 4 basic ways to style this necklace (or any flashy statement piece for that matter!) Take a look... Let's first do the obvious... Formal attire. Feathers and formal...they go hand in hand! This piece was meant for a party! The Harper Necklace is the perfect thing to dress up any basic LBD. The black & gold tones also look stunning when paired with a bright color such as red. Solid colored lace in black, beige, ivory, or metallic would also create a stunning, formal look. Now let's talk about the opposite end of the spectrum--casual, everyday wear. I'm sure most of you are thinking, "how could I ever wear this on a 'normal' day," but you totally can!! You make the rules, so why not add some sparkle and feathers to your ordinary day? Pair her with a solid colored top and patterned jeans. Throw on a pair of flats, grab your bag, and you're ready to run your errands in some serious S-T-Y-L-E! It would also look great with a structured, button-down shirt and colored or black jeans. Let's not forget about date night!! The best night of the week. Here, I have paired her with a form-fitting leather dress and a long, pink poncho to create a dramatic effect. The Harper really pops off of any color, so don't think you should limit yourself to black. Throw on a sky-high heel, grab a clutch, & off you go! And last but not least...the office! Pair the necklace with any type of suit, and you'll be in line for the next promotion! But really, it knocks your tailored look up a notch while still being professional. Don't be afraid to add some sass to your look just because your at your 9 to 5. The Harper Feather Necklace definitely adds spice to any outfit!! Now hurry and go scoop one up for yourself and a friend...you'll love it, I promise!! Thanks for reading...
I hope this post has inspired you to try something new & a little out of the box. When you are confidant, you're whole disposition changes; and I am a firm believer that a little sparkle and some feathers go a long way! Cheers to fabulous accessories!
