I originally bought this to wear for an outfit I was going to wear for a wedding (the goldtone one). And it looked great with the outfit I was going to wear! Unfortunately, I couldn't go to the wedding due to a health issue. But I was able to wear it for Thanksgiving dinner...black leggings with a red/black plaid long tunic type shirt...believe it or not it dressed up the outfit just right! That's when I realized dressed up or...not...this necklace will do it for any outfit you want to dress up or...down, but want to spruce up whatever laid back outfit you have in mind.
