On the House of Baulch A/W 2011 runways, heavily embellished necklaces were all the rage. Heavy artillery around the neck is one of A/W 2011's hottest trends.
With body-clinging fabrics in neutral colors, House of Baulch statement jewelry had a gorgeous canvas to lye upon. Heavily layered chains, with beaded detailing in golds, silvers and black donned model's necks make onlookers envious. This look is best worn with a simple outfit (neutral in tone) so you can allow your statement jewelry to do all the talking; you don’t need different components of your outfit competing with one another.
Matching bangles and dangling earrings were also in great quantity providing a sense of unity and put togetherness for the entire outfit. The overall feel is classy, but funky at the same time -- the perfect fusion!
