 Today I'm linking up with the lovely Marion of Marionberry Style for her "trend of the month" challenge.  Statement necklaces emerged this season as a popular trend with so many varieties to choose from!  From metal bibs to intricate beads to simple acrylic like mine, there is a style for everyone to enjoy in any color you can imagine.  I chose to keep the rest of my outfit simple in order to let the necklace be the focus, settling on a sleeveless mint blouse and white shorts.

The best part about statement necklaces is that they don't have to break the bank.  You can easily find styles for under $20 at stores like Forever21 and Target, or invest in the beautiful and popular JCrew resin "bubble" necklace for $150.  Check out the my current favorites below.

 I started out simple but I think I'm ready to move up to a bigger, bolder statement necklace for fall.  I hope this also inspires you to do the same.  You can also check out the other bloggers linking up with Marion for the statement necklace trend at Marionberry Style.  Thanks for reading!
