Slap On A Bib

I wrote about bow necklaces last month. Another big necklace trend for the summer of 2009 is the bib necklace. Like bow necklaces, bib necklaces have also been spotted on many celebrities such as Mischa Barton, Olivia Palermo, Molly Sims, and Eva Mendes. It may be called a bib necklace, but don't let the name fool you. This trend is definitely not meant for the infants. This very grown up accessory is a necklace with a thicker chain used support heavier and larger beads or pendants that rest below the collarbone. I will show you some pictures I found of this amazing necklace below.

For a barbeque, pair a bib necklace with a floppy hat, a sun dress, and some wedge espadrilles. For channeling Cleopatra, wear one of the gold bib necklaces with a gold bangle, gold hoop earrings, a jeweled headband, and some gladiator shoes. To get a vintage look, pair this necklace with a peasant dress, lace tights, a bow headband, a pearl bracelet, pumps, a straw hat, and a sequin handbag. I hope you enjoyed my bib necklace finds.
