"I'm giving your gold chain back to you because it would be like me keeping your arm.
It's part of who you are." -Hallie F. on returning my necklace

The Problem: Untamed necklaces for days, missing earrings by night, and cocktail rings in between. (For good health, please wash your hands.) These are the reasons I often leave my ensembles accessory-less. As a proficient style advocate, I'm not proud to be bare-jeweled. I'm ashamed to be the only girl at the club without the long layers of bling to swing back and forth as I do this dance that I do; And unfortunately, the only accessory I care about before heading to Sunday brunch is the re-application of my mascara and lipstick so my face doesn't continue to drag my decisions from the night before. I do, so desperately, want to be more active in my jewelry adornments, but cut me some slack. Don't we already have so much to worry about?
The Solution: MY GOLD CHAIN. I noticed this one specific accessory that has made an outstanding presence in my wardrobe and I firmly believe that it's not only a go-to detail when I'm feeling outfit-apprehensive, but also a staple to my personal style. Whether you're in search for your style identity, currently sporting your favorite shiny, solid strands, or believe it to be a distasteful decision, everyone has a preference when it comes to a gold laced neck. My preference just so happens to be a single strand.
I.Love.You.
Below are the photos the photos exhibiting the versatility of my necklace verdict. I'm a little embarrassed to post these photos for a couple of reasons. This is exposure, folks. Most of these photos were taken in front of food. Awesome.
Trill photos ahead. Enjoy.

"Hey, I just wanted you to know that your outfit is off the chain."
-said no one yet, but they will.
The Lesson Learned: I can wear this anywhere, anytime, dressed up, dressed down, in air, on ground, in public and alone. It's just freakin' awesome. So now, I challenge you to take a step back, identify your preferences, and acknowledge them.
Here's to life. Let's keep it simple.
