I haven't worn this necklace yet (given to me by my mother), so, I decided to plan an outfit around it. I matched this maroon (or crimson, if you will) skirt with the necklace, as well as other matching pewter-colored jewelry (earrings and bracelet). Since I wore black boots and tights, I wore a charcoal grey cowl-neck top instead of just black, to bring the entire outfit together. Normally, I would wear grey tights, but they didn't match completely and just looked like almost too much was happening with the outfit. Some might argue that I need a belt with this outfit- for the contrast between the shirt and skirt, but the necklace did the job since it was so long. Lastly, I wore charcoal eye-shadow and crimson lip gloss.
