Statement Necklaces are one of my favorite ways to accessorize. They add some detail to an outfit that takes it from cute to wow. No matter how many bracelets or rings you have on, nothing beats the effect of a statement necklace.
For this outfit I paired an ombre long hair fur vest with a plain black sweater. For the bottoms I went for my trusty double sided leather jeans. For the shoes I chose my absolute favorite pair of chunky black booties, and I just did a simple black leather tote. Lastly for my accessories I went with some stone rings, a two toned watch, a detailed cuff bracelet, and last but not least my newest statement necklace. To complete the look I opted for a deep fuchsia lip color.

Fur Vest: Century 21. I love how unique and different this fur vest is. It's an edgy step up from your classic brown fur vest. And the longer length makes it truly eye-catching.
Black Sweater: Forever 21. This black sweater is definitely going to be one of my fall/winter basics. Its perfect for wearing by itself or as a layering piece with a skirt or dress underneath.
Double Sided Leather Jeans: H&M. I bought these jeans about a year ago and I absolutely love them! The front is faux leather and the back is just a plain black denim.
Bag: Cole Hahn. I call this bag my own personal black hole. You can fit almost anything in it and it just fits it all. The basket weave texture also adds a cool feel.
Shoes: NYC Boutique on 36th Street & 7th Ave. I wish I had a more specific store name for these boots but they were just one of those spur of the moment buys.
Watch & Cuff: Michael Kors. I wear these two almost everyday. Together they add a classy element to any outfit.
Statement Necklace: NYC Boutique. Once again this was one of those "too-excited-to-notice-where-i-got-it" buys. To be honest, statement necklaces can literally be found anywhere now. Forever 21 has an abundance in all different shapes and sizes. And Charlotte Russe sells JCrew statement necklace look a likes for like 1/5 of the price!

Here's a closer look at my statement necklace.
The Hijab Souq just got stocked up with an amazing line of statement necklaces. My favorite one would most definitely be the top left! Pictured above are only 8 of the one's in stock. Make sure to check out the full line under the accessories tab and let us know which ones your favorite!
When it comes to wearing statement necklaces, I'm pretty sure we've all gone through the constant agony of pulling your Hijab up every five seconds to make sure the necklace isn't being covered by layers of fabric. Recently I've figured out 2 full proof ways to make sure that doesn't happen.

#1: This way is a more permanent way to make sure your necklace is always ready to wear even if your on the run!
Basically all you need to do is take some thick string ( I purchased mine from a craft store) and tie it to either ends of your necklace- shown below. Measure how many inches longer you need it to prevent it from being too long.

#2: This way is my favorite because there's more flexibility and I can switch it up whenever I feel like it. For this you'll need an existing simple chain necklace, a safety pin, and of course your statement necklace of choice, mines from a collar style necklace from Primark.
Figure out the length you want to extend your necklace mine was approx. 4 inches. Then measure out half of your length (in my case 2 inches) onto your extender necklace and put a safety pin through the links (shown below) - this will make sure your necklace isn't down to your belly button.
Lastly all you need to do is attach your necklace to the opposite ends of your extender necklace - and then your done! Then you can use the same extender necklace and attach it to a different necklace each time.
Let us you what you think, if you have any questions, or any post requests!
