Cleopatra Necklace

My favorite kind of necklaces are those that make a statement subtly. A more appropriate name might be understatement necklaces – like this Cleopatra Necklace from Dear Miss J. The strings of black and white pearls are so beautiful they don’t warrant vibrant colors or over-sized stones. This hand-made, one-of-a-kind piece can be dressed up or down for work or play. In my closet, flexibility is key.

Dear Miss J is full of unique pieces PLUS they let you order up to 3 pieces for free just to try them on! Think Warby Parker meets jewelry. It’s shopping from your home risk-free and we all know the importance of seeing things in person. It’s the perfect business model for girls with busy schedules. Shipping is free which, if you dread waiting in line at the post office as much as I do, it’s the icing on the cake. My favorite part is that Dear Miss J is run by a mother daughter duo – there’s nothing I love more than supporting fellow female entrepreneurs!

My initial thought was to pair this necklace with a dress but I wanted to challenge myself by styling it in a more casual way. This Sanctuary Traveller vest was the perfect piece to complement it. Effortless yet structured, it’s fast becoming one of my favorite pieces to layer or wear alone (like I did here). Obsessed with these pockets!
