Regal Necklace in Gunmetal - $425 - otteny.com

I've been seeing this necklace EVERYWHERE. As I mentioned in an earlier post, this is what you find when you look up "necklaces", fourth spot on the top line, at least for the last few days. And for good reason, it's a BEAUTIFUL thing. Not just beautiful, but kinda fierce. It's got loads of texture, but not too much...I mean, you see some of these multi-chain necklaces and they either look like a scarf or like it weighs 6 tons. And like Chanel said "if it's not comfortable, it's not luxury". So let's see what some of the artists and stylists have done with this thing.


First, the most obvious use...ROCK! *Devil fingers and sticking tongue out* As you may or may not have noticed, this set would be nothing without that necklace. Mind you, it's a perfectly good outfit, but imagine it without the necklace. It loses it's whole attitude. It goes from Rock star to rock wannabe. Not cool. She was wise to utilize the item.


You could also use it this way, to add a little rockstar to a sweeter, more feminine look.


And finally, if you have a ridiculously colorful outfit, this necklace does an excellent job of toning it down some without losing the interest of the look.

What do you think? How would YOU use the necklace?

Every now and then an item is uploaded to Polyvore that is used by JUST EVERYONE. I'm fascinated by the attraction one item can have. The item in question is this.

I like it well enough, but let's be honest, it's just a cheap t-shirt, isn't it? The thing is, this shirt has the magical ability to instantly add texture, tertiary color, and comfort to an otherwise bland outfit. Somehow, that owl is damn cool. See how others have used the owl to their advantage.
