On top of stealing borrowing Micol's clothes and accessories whenever I get a chance, I also love going over to her place and raiding her jewelry stash. While I have a ton of chains, beaded necklaces and other adornments that I've picked up from vintage stores and various travels, Micol's collection is full of quirky, standout statement necklaces--like this one she picked up recently from none other than Alter (also featured here and here).

I usually shy away from wearing large, heavy necklaces like this... if not for fear of looking like I tried too hard, at the very least because of the fear of accidentally breaking them.

Miraculously, I think neither one of my two fears came true while sporting this outfit, which is due in part to the jean vest that brings the intensity of the necklace down a notch. Micol and I just created the vest by lopping off the arms of a 10-year old Earl Jean jacket I had in my closet, and it might just be one of my favorite new clothing items for summer. DIY at it's easiest!
