This mesh necklace by Lulu Frost is utterly unique yet oddly familiar. A quirky design evolved from vintage inspiration will do that. The only way I’d ever wear a brooch is when an edgy necklace is supporting it! Otherwise, let’s be honest, it’s a pretty serious and specific look. (Think ancestors…) Since I’m not a Chanel tweed jacket kind of girl, this offbeat twist on a classic look is one I can totally rock.
The gold-tone “corkboard” necklace, with its funky wide mesh, allows enough skin to peek through so you don’t feel like you’re in some sort of armor. Add to it a real vintage crystal brooch, in all its blazing glory, and the result is a standout piece that will attract the right kind of attention. Off the lapel and one step ahead! On Kirna Zabete for $460.
Pair with: A strapless boatneck dress, ingeniously ruched by Giambattista Valli, is just the right frame for this showpiece. At Barneys New York for $1,640.
