Every wardrobe needs a great statement necklace. Not only is it flattering on all shapes and sizes but it can also update an item that’s been neglected for a few seasons. A statement necklace and a pair of heels can solve your day-to-night dressing dilemmas. For a high fashion look this season, layer a statement necklace over a buttoned-up shirt and tuck it under the collar. At the David Jones Autumn/Winter 2012 Fashion Launch, statement necklaces rocked the runway and the red carpet. You can watch Glynis Traill-Nash and Samantha Wills champion the trend on Rescu.
