Looks like we found the perfect dress!

This season beaded necklines give the impact of a statement necklace!

Statement jewelry has been building in fame for the past couple of years and no piece makes more of an impact than a big beautiful necklace. If you’re one of those who loves statement necklaces but can’t figure out what to wear them with without over-doing the whole ensemble, then the embellished neckline is for you.

The concept is simple, a top or dress with a stunning collar of beads or jewels that gives the illusion of a large necklace worked into or overlaying the clothing. Viola, instant style without the fuss!

Let's consider these style options:

• A tribal beaded maxi dress.  Stretch knit maxi dress features deep v-neckline with tribal bead detail, shirred bust with elastic empire waist, side seam pockets and criss cross back. $48.00 sale

Not sure how to wear a statement neckline top or dress?  We recommend wearing the tops with cotton shorts and similarly embellished flat sandals and the dresses with heels for evening or work and grecian flats for day.
