1) Don’t get caught in the hoopla!

Hoop necklaces are all the rage this summer but can look awkward around necklines when not styled

5) Go long!

Pendant necklaces are the easy way to add dimension to your look without adding on layers. Use this
necklace to dress up your tees and a little jazz to your casual days.
