Style Notes: My ‘Neck Minnit’ Moment

20130914_190605

Don’t you hate it when you buy an accessory or clothing piece you absolutely love because it’s so unique and special and you want to believe you’re the only person in the world that owns it, NEK MINNIT you’re finding replicas hanging on every rack from to Cotton On to Valleygirl.

Well a similar situation occurred to me recently, it literally was a ‘neck minnit’ moment because it involved my current favourite necklace. This simple and dainty antique gold ‘Freestyle arrow‘ necklace I purchased on a trip to the U.S last year at an Urban Outfitters store and I adore it because it’s striking and eclectic whilst still being subtle and understatedly chic.

It a good choice for layering with other dainty gold necklaces if you’re feeling a little bare wearing this lightweight necklace on its own, but I think the unique design of this piece also creates enough impact when worn alone. The extra-long length makes it a great accompaniment to combine with high necklines, and the arrow or ‘v’ pendant draws the eye down and inwards to create a very flattering effect.

Lovisa FGold SG Long Open V Necklace (Style No.50321995) $12.99

 

I love this gold arrow necklace and enjoyed its uniqueness and the complements I received on it because I had never seen a similar style around, until now!

Imagine my surprise when I saw little replica freestyle arrow jangling about on the display wall of a Lovisa store the other day!

So instead of feeling annoyed about my fashion copycat ‘neck minnit’ moment, I wanted to tell you all the reasons why I love this necklace, in case you like it too! So lesson learnt, sharing is caring and if you like the style, and have a few high neckline items you can imagine pairing with it, you can now pick one up from your nearest Lovisa store for $12.99 and enjoy it as much as I do!
If you decide to purchase one, send me a snap of what outfit you pair yours with!
