When I found this necklace in a vintage store years ago something about the colours, beads, and general largeness transported me somewhere exotic. The women at the till laughed and looked at me like I was crazy to be purchasing a massive statement necklace. In all fairness it weighs about 5 pounds and extends past my waist…not exactly a classically wearable purchase.
Well shop lady, I get the last laugh because I FINALLY made it work with a simple lace dress, perfect for summer. The clean lines of the dress now seem boring to me without the necklace. The only downfall is that now all I can think of is vacationing in a tropical jungle somewhere. I have a fever and the only cure is more jungle!
I’m actually planning a trip to India in the winter, and trying to figure out how to extend it to Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos. Jungle here I come!
Where are you guys dying to visit?

The necklace is beautiful Alana. Sounds like a bit of a workout wearing it but definitely intriguing.
