Fashion Trends for Fall 2009 - Part VII

Greetings Fashion Friends,

This is one of my favorite trends.......statement jewelry. I'm not really a girlie girl ( I was literally a tomboy from middle school to the first couple of years in high school) so I don't really gravitate towards the dainty, feminine jewelry pieces. I mean, they're pretty, but I want what I'm wearing to make a bold statement. Whether my button-up shirt, trousers and cardigan say "serious professional" or my little black dress with the 6-in stilettos say "femme fatale", I want my style to reflect how I'm feeling so I try to dress that way on a daily basis. No matter if you're feeling down and out, just go hard in life! That's why statement jewelry will always be my go to pieces. They really make a simple sheath look glamorous. You can't beat that with a bat!

The 80s inspired huge, chain link necklace imparts a edginess to Rachel Roy's sleek ensemble. I need something similar in my life....like now.

Janet polished her look up with this lovely chain full of vintage looking beads. Reminds me of a rosary.

Katy Perry looks absolutely adorable with her bold colors and tribal styled necklace.

There are lots of affordable statement pieces for the recessionistas.
