Dana,
I am always very cautious when picking out costume jewelry. I am never sure if it looks cool, or just tacky. I am going to a bridal shower on March 7 and am not sure what to wear. I was thinking of just doing a black pants suit and white button down, but wanted to dress it up with a funky necklace. Thoughts?
So, here's the thing about costume jewelry. The key is the word costume.
On Halloween, when you dress up as a sexy nurse or a sexy cat or a sexy superhero, do people really think you're a nurse or a cat or a superhero?
No!
Why? Because it's a costume.
El duh.
Same goes for costume jewelry. The idea is not to try and convince people that it's something it's not. Don't go for a demure pair of diamond studs - get GIANT ones. Don't get a tiny little diamond necklace - get a freaking 100-million-carat statement necklace.
Go all out. The statement necklace is still so-very-in-the-moment (ahem, Eva Mendes at the Golden Globes) and with a sexy black suit and white shirt --unbutton one more button than you normally would. Trust me. -- you have the perfect palette to showcase any one of these beauties.
So pretend it's Halloween. Wear your costume. Make a statement.
Just 86 the super hero cape.
At least until the actual wedding.

I love your picks (I've been eying that Topshop necklace for about a week now)! Necklaces are a current obsession.
I recently found a ridiculously OTT, completely blinged out necklace at--wait for it--a costume shop. Appropriate, huh?
