HAP-PY NEW YEAR!!!!!

  So you made it through New Years Eve and New Years Day? All of the celebrations that happened over the weekend and you stepped out as clean as a whistle. That is awesome! Now it's time to start the New Year off without a hitch. Have you made that resolution to dress better this year and have more style? Well, I'm glad you have stopped by, because boy do we have a trend for you! For the first trend of the year, we have the accessory piece of the evening, the toast of the town...The Bib Necklace!

 
  Have you been looking for the accessory piece that will make your outfit stand out? Well, don't worry! J Culture has found it for you. This elaborate piece will take any simple necklines and turn them into a glamorous stunning sensation. These timeless pieces can give any outfit that extra boost it needs. The Bib Necklace is awesome because it works well  in any situation. It can be a textured piece with stones, gems and even layered strands. The Bib Necklace comes in all kinds of shapes and makes. It can be worn in any season and any occasion. It dresses up a simple evenig gown or takes that jeans and beater outfit to the another level. So whats the trick to pulling off the Bib Necklace? Why I'm glad you asked, that is JUST the question we were going to answer!
 
  The trick to pulling off this haute trend is to make sure the neckline is simple. For more elaborate chunky necklace pieces, you want to make sure the dress or shirt that you are wearing is as lucid as possible. You don't want to wear the piece with a extensive patterened shirt or dress. Jewlry is meant to compliment an outfit or add to a wardrobe. You should not appear to be too busy when wearing an outfit. You want to stand out in a good way, you do not want to stick out like a sore thumb. If you do wear a pattern, make sure it is simplistic and always make sure the necklace will be a compliment and not an eye sore. Also remember when pairing it with earings that there is no need to wear the Bib Necklace with extensive, large dangling earings. The Bib Necklace stands out well alone, so simple studed earings will do. Even shapely earings that are no big around than a coin dollar is fine. Bracelets are fine with this kind of jewlry, but the bracelets are not to overtake the look of the necklace and should be kept simple.
 
  Here some haute, haute, haute Bib Necklaces that cync well with that outfit you were trying so hard to boost:
