style snapshot: Super Long Necklaces

I recently had one of those "a-ha" moments. I figured out that in order for a necklace to be truly slimming, it has to be very long. Specifically; it has to fall below the bust. For me anyway. If it falls smack dab in the middle of my chest, it just draws attention to the widest point of my body. So, in order to avoid that, I've decided that a necklace must either stop right around my collar bone, or else fall almost all the way to my waist. Luckily, I think super long necklaces look super chic. And they look great on almost anyone. Even some guys could pull it off.
