So first off yes, I wear a lot of black. You pretty much can't go wrong in a professional setting with black. But I do always try to put at least a little bit of color with it.
So that's what I did here, mostly with the jacket (ah, my beautiful Tahari, your jackets always look so crisp!). Although to be fair, the wide-leg pants (Lane Bryant's Lena collection from about 18 months ago - since the jacket's more tailored, wide leg pants are a good complement) also have pink pinstripes, but you can't see them in the photo.
Still, we've got black pink black. It needed something else. So I made a statement.
With a statement necklace. Haha, see what I did there? Damn, I'm funny. (Imagine those last three sentences said in a completely deadpan, but not Steven Wright deadpan, that's about three steps too far.)
It's got pinks like the jacket, grays to pull out the black, and (hard to tell) but a spot of pale yellow.
It breaks up the look a bit, just gives it a bit more of a pop, but since the rest of the outfit is unassuming, it doesn't get overwhelming.
The great thing about statement necklaces? You can go as cheap or as expensive as you want. There are some great Kate Spade New York pieces that can run high $60ish, but look amazing. This one was $15 at Target, and looks pretty kick butt in its own right.
Options, folks! So many options!
