Hey, if Carrie Bradshaw is doing it. It's probably cool.

While Christmas shopping, I’ve noticed something: Jewelery has taken a different approach this winter. No longer is it single strands, but it’s layers and layers of chunky jewels, strands, and metals. They especially look good with strapless dresses. And, if anyone can rock the look, it’s First Lady and fashionista, Michelle Obama. What I love about this new fad is that it can be worn anywhere. Spice up that dull t-shirt in class or get dolled up for a night out.

First Lady, Michelle Obama, knows how to wear her chunky necklaces!

ABS makes a killer chunky, multi-strand, crystal-accented necklace. But, it might be a little bit above the average price range. The answer? Use the jewelry you have lying around! Layer it up! A couple strands of pearls, a couple strands of gold, a few bright and colorful pendants. Before you know it, you have the chunky necklace look. Enough with the simple necklaces. Spice up those boring outfits!

Not sure if you can pull off the look? Take a line from the chunky necklace extraordinare herself: Yes You Can!
