You may recall, Blog Reader, that 2012 was THE year for me to accessorize. Here in September I am still on the case, this time with the help of IN PINK whose website I adore. The multiple search functions on the site allow me to hone in on my style of jewelry quickly. This silver tone chain necklace with leather strap (quite possibly inspired by the amount of metal and leather around me in Austin currently) is a nice bold design. The length of the necklace appeals to me for wearing with my longer, simple black dresses as a bit of a statement piece.
Some of my favourite styles on the IN PINK site currently are below:
From left to right: Silvertone Rhinestone Spikes Stretch Bracelet; Black and Rhinestone Bar Wrap Bracelet; Mixed Metal Rhinestone Bars Necklace Set ‘Skyline’ Collection and the Turquoise Rhinestone Swirl Stretch Ring.
I think I will always remain faithful to simple, minimal styles and shapes Blog Reader, yet this year my eyes have been opened to the transformative power of something like a necklace, a bag, some killer heels… (I thank you, Nicholas Kirkwood and Rodarte). What do you turn to first to ‘add’ to an outfit, Blog Reader?
First of all, you look gorgeous! I like how the necklace gives the dress some depth, and well, you work simplicity really well! The first thing I turn to ‘add’ to an outfit are usually bracelets
I also prefer wearing longer necklaces now too!
Thanks Saran! I also have a bracelet from the INPINK site which I like – gold and chain like too, will post that soon. I never used to wear longer necklace styles but I think with the longer dresses they look really great. Thanks for stopping by!
I checked out their site and they have so many gorgeous things!! I wasn’t sure if they shipped internationally (US sites sometimes dont) but I’d love to see how you style your bracelet! I’m a fan of longer necklaces now because shorter ones get all sticky on my skin in this 38 degree heat!
I love that necklace on you – it’s just the right length for a dress like this and the leather detailing gives it just the right amount of edge. They have lovely jewelry at great prices…and their customer service is nothing short of amazing!
There is something about the way that site is organized which is really appealing. I like the set options too – very creative x
AND you always know how to prove us that an accessory can be enough to electrify your upper delicate Allure Dear (“Wink from a kind aesthete”) !
a presto, Antoine

I’ll head over to your site now and take a look. Thank you for reading and leaving me a comment, always good to find new blogs!
Love the dress! I like how maxi dresses are so easy to dress up and down
Hi Aggie! How are you? I had some ideas about that pink phone you posted on instagram, I’m trying to find one site to email you about – watch this space x
Accesorizing for men is tricky. I have been refining my accessories and learning that in my case less is more. But in winter I do break all the rules … An antique deco rhinestone broach on the lapel of my black wool overcoat. One needs a bit of daring sensational sparkle in January.
PS…. I just realized my reply was all about ME ME ME…forgive me. I LOVE the outfit in these pictures and the necklace is so unusual and stunning.
You look absolutely PHENOMENAL in that dress. Maxi dresses are SO beautiful, which is odd, considering how much it actually covers up of a woman.
DEFINITELY wolf-whistle worthy.
You have such a beautiful face!!!
You look amazing here! I love your blog! following you via bloglovin`! Kisses!

The power of accessories really is second to none – although I’m not the type of girl to stack bracelets regularly, but for me, an outfit is never complete without a pair of sparkly earrings. There is nothing that dresses up beautiful, basic black like a bit of sparkle, as you’ve illustrated beautifully in this look; that chain necklace practically pops off your dress!

Beautiful dress, and amazing necklace. You look gorgeous!
you are a truly gorgeous woman!
You ARE NOT being chained up! You are to beautiful!
Love this dress! So simple. I have an Asos velvet version which is so lovely, but unfortunately a bit tricky to walk in!
Great outfit! I am the biggest fan of maxi dresses. They are so effortless. I totally agree about minimalistic clothing and a power of accessories to make the look your own. I love shoes, bags, jewellery..
