NECKLACES OF THE NEW YEAR: SPLURGE VS. STEAL

I have been diligently searching for a new statement necklace. During my search, I have found four main necklace styles that have really caught my eye. The collar necklace is an outstanding piece that brings a bold flair to any outfit. Given that Christmas, my birthday and new years have passed, I will have to make a collar necklace my next self-serving valentines gift. Definitely my favorite style of necklace I've seen in a while. Along with collar necklaces, the top trending necklaces of the year have been fringe necklaces, simple gold necklaces and Tiki necklaces.
