Big Impact, Little Price: Big Stone Necklaces
While filming Gossip Girl in Paris recently (don't judge, we're fans!) La Gossip Girl herself was seen sporting this sweet, savvy ensemble around the rues of the City of Lights. Little did she know how she perked our peepers and savv-o-meter by the way she (or her costumers, more likely) used a simple, chunky turquoise necklace to render completely average separates (we're talking unflattering, pleated peach pants, friends!) into a runway-worthy ensemble. Everyone, yes, everyone has limp-hued, underused basic separates that could use a pick me up and everyone, yes, everyone has a yard sale/hippie mom/Navajo-souvenier chunky-styled necklace. So put them to work, savvies! It's the cheapest, fastest and easiest way to breathe life into underused items.

And for any savvy girl who is wincing right now thinking of that scene in Bridget Jones' Diary where Hugh Grant discovers his paramour's slimming granny panty with a squeamish cry of "what IS this?," you needn’t fear. These shapers are as chic, smooth and discreet as a Russian spy.
