First Necklace Giveaway!

As promised, I'm giving you the details today about a necklace that I am giving away. Lately I have really been into statement necklaces. For those of you who don't know what that means, a statement necklace is a necklace that stands out either by size or color. It is best to pair statement necklaces with a classic outfit (I like to pair mine with neutral colors to make them pop more, but you can still pair them with colors). Remember this: be careful about other accessories that you wear—you don't want to pair a statement necklace with huge earrings or huge bracelets because you may look tacky.

I first saw the tutorial for this necklace on Pinterest. If you want to try making the necklace yourself, go here. I'm a huge fan of coral/red so I decided to first make this necklace in that color to try it out. The bright, bold color makes it a statement necklace. I'm giving away the necklace in either this coral-red color:


or this turquoise color (this image below is taken from the blog with the necklace tutorial):


I am currently finishing up the turquoise necklace, so I don't have any finished photos for you other than the example from the other blog. Bottom line, you get to choose what color you want: turquoise or coral-red. All you need to do to enter this giveaway and here's how you do it:
  1. Comment on this blog and tell me which color necklace you want.
  2. Follow my blog.
It's that simple. You have until Monday, March 19, at 8 p.m. MDT to enter. I will choose the winner randomly based on the comment number. Even if this necklace isn't your particular style, enter the giveaway anyway—this necklace would make a great gift! Good luck!

Next entry: 12 cute modest swimsuits for 2012. I have the blog entry all ready, but I didn't want to overwhelm with too much in one blog entry!
