Necklace: Jewelry By Andie B. on Etsy | Striped Long Sleeve Shirt: J. Crew | Green Picture Frame: Target 

Lately I have been obsessing over dainty, minimalist pieces!  They’re so easy to wear with any outfit, and they gracefully accentuate your neckline.  As a result of this obsession, I decided to venture out and make my own!  I believe my necklaces have a special edge because both the gold chain and the gold tube pieces were shipped to me from halfway around the world, from Turkey!  Owning a piece of jewelry that came from so far away definitely makes me feel more special as I’m wearing it throughout the day.  Receiving these pieces from Turkey made the designing process so much more rewarding and thrilling, knowing that I was about to make a special item that traveled halfway around the world!  This Dainty Gold Plated Bar Necklace is an iconic look that every girl deserves to own.  Turn it into a festival look by pairing it with other thin gold necklaces of various lengths to give the layering effect (see more here).  Or wear it solo to add a little glimmer and sparkle to your everyday office look.  Either way, there is no going wrong with this gorgeous piece!

Xoxo,

Necklace: Jewelry By Andie B. on Etsy | Sunnies: Warby Parker | Grey Sweater: Banana Republic (similar cropped sweater here) | White Sheer Tank: Nordstrom (similar) | White Denim: AG Jeans (similar) | Boots: Steve Madden Women’s Avilla Engineer Boot, Brown Leather, 8.5 M US | Black Pea Coat: J. Crew | Watch: Michael Kors | Gold Bracelet: Banana Republic

This necklace is one of my recent favorites — it’s a cool, grey-tone, lightweight piece that can be paired with any type of outfit, formal or informal.  For only $28 it’s such a steal!  It’s that one piece of jewelry that you will want to wear with EVERYTHING because it meshes so easily with any color scheme, and is easy to throw on over the head!  Although this necklace can easily be worn without messing with the clasp, a behind-the-neck clasp is there in case you decide to turn it into a wrap bracelet, by winding it around the wrist.  This multi-faceted necklace will be your new favorite staple item, as it has quickly become mine! Also, check out my all time favorite watch, the Michael Kors Watches Parker Watch, that I literally never take off!

Xoxo,

Andrea

I made this necklace about a month ago and I’m so sad I had to part ways with it so early on!  This was definitely one of my fastest selling necklaces I have made so far, as it was sold just a few hours after publishing it to my Etsy shop!  Can you blame the buyer though?  This necklace is so easy to wear that it can be paired with practically any outfit.  Throw it on over a big sweater and jeans, as I did above, or layer it over a fancy blouse.  I cannot wait to make this necklace again and get it back up on the shop!

P.S. I recently tried StitchFix for the 1st time and absolutely LOVED it!  They send you a few clothing pieces and jewelry to try on based on your (very detailed) style profile.  You can try everything on in the privacy of your own home, and then pay for just the items you want to keep, and mail the others back!  Simple as that!  I snagged this fierce double zippered grey sweater from Olive & Oak

Xoxo,

I am OBSESSING over the many ways that my bestie (and gorgeous fashion blogger) Maudie has styled my handmade Black and Gold Fringe Pendant Necklace!!  She has the best way of styling unique pieces on a low-budget!  From living together at Miami University in a house with 9 girls, to visiting her in Chicago and Columbus, she always has an open closet with the best borrowing options!  To see more of her Bargain, Buy, Borrow style, check out her fashion blog here!

This necklace is currently sold out, but I recently made another one of a friend.  If you would like your own replica, contact me for further collaboration!

Xoxo,

Andie
