Statement necklace & glittery shrug

[TooTiredToArgue]

Hi there

I am going to a very special gig in a few weeks (where I will be performing as a backing singer). All very exciting (and nerve wracking) so I want to look as good as I possibly can.

The kind ladies of mumsnet helped me find a lovely sequinned dress but sadly it's sold out everywhere so I am going for plan B, which is a very clingy (but hopefully flattering) black ruched dress from Boden, off the shoulder.

What I now need is a statement necklace and a pretty (silver, sequinned?) wrap/bolero to wear over the top to look a bit more Christmassy.

Any ideas anyone? Nothing too £££, may £20 each max for necklace & shrug.

Thanks, in advance.

Are you sure? Shrugs / statement necklaces a bit last year. But black off the shoulder sounds simple and devastating as it is ...

[TooTiredToArgue]

Really? Hadn't thought of that.... no necklace at all?

Thin and slithery necklaces are the current thing, I believe. A glint rather than a clump. But someone better informed will be along soon, I hope!

Fucks sake I just wrote a massive reply with links and everything and my iPad ate it

Statement necklaces are indeed a bit last year...maybe have a look at something like this or this ?

Instead of a bolero or shrug, could you wear a nice coat or posh cardi / wrap and take it off to show off your dress (which sounds like a knockout!)?

Thanks! Just checked & thought my thread had died a death. Thin & slithery sounds interesting (I am obvs v out of loop) and really like the first necklace, thanks ThisChristmas. Blooming iPads. Anyone else out there who can make a middle aged woman feel great for one night of the year!

Maybe I am not entirely serious about this but I wish I had the chutzpah to wear it ...

That's brilliant. Kate Moss might be able to pull that off - not sure about me!
