I know bib necklaces have been around for a few seasons, but I just got one- from the lovely Cath! She picked up this black bib necklace in Las Vegas… at a store for little girls (which usually means half price from the big girl stores- woohoo!), and I luuuurve it!
Here’s why: it’s yet another way to try to maintain a certain level of stylish creativity when it gets so hot and humid you can’t even be bothered to put on more than underwear. Instead of a drab ole tank and skirt or shorts, slap on a bib and voila! You look like you tried without breaking a sweat (even at 85% humidity)!
Tank and skirt (years and years old) from AA, shoes are Jeffery Campbell, bib is from Kitcath, cuff is from Evolve Boutique (made from reused/recycled metal).
Sharing the wealth, I put it on our resident Puck/Bacchus. He prefers to pair it with just a loosely wrapped loin cloth and pan pipe. To each their own. I’d suggest trying my skirt/tank combo first before trying it his way. Apparently it’s easier to get away with that sort of thing when you are immortal.
Oh! And don’t forget about our Shabby Apple dress contest! Read the post below and leave a comment. We’ll close the comments on Thursday at 11:59 p.m. and the announce the winner this weekend. Good luck, you wonderful people you!

June 23rd, 2010 at 3:40 pmWhat a great bib necklace! It looks more like a fancy collar than a necklace–I can see it being a great versatile piece to wear with tanks and tees all summer.

June 23rd, 2010 at 10:10 pmWhoa, I thought it was part of the shirt. Tricky, tricky….85% humidity? Gross. At least we get a winter here for putting up with muggy summers. And look at you giving away awesome stuff. Magnanimity suits you two.

June 29th, 2010 at 10:44 pm[...] in your underwear is not an option? I’ve mentioned the discreet crop top method and the obnoxiously-sized accessories to mask the fact that you are just wearing a tank top. How ’bout more accessories (a belt!) [...]

June 30th, 2010 at 3:57 pmSO PRETTY. Little girls do not need such prettiness as much as us big girls do. I agree jewlerey makes the outfit in these sweltering summer monthes.
