An Everlasting Summer: Plaited Rope Necklace

Plaited Rope Necklace

Plaited Rope Necklace by theclosetbychristie featuring a pencil skirt

As we prepare to kiss the summer goodbye, more and more summer-like trends are continuing to emerge. This gives me the idea of an everlasting summer! The truth is- you can make any style work for any season, especially for an accessory. Plaited jewelry is my favorite summer-like trend to watch! So, what is plaited jewelry exactly? A plait is three or more strands of any material interlaced. It’s basically a braid! It’s most often made of rope or hemp, but any material can really be used.
In the above set, I featured a neon coral plaited rope necklace. I love this necklace because the color and large size definitely make a statement, but it’s also intricate and unique. I paired the necklace with a black and white J.Crew horizontal striped peplum top, a grey J.Crew pencil skirt, and a bright coral Wallis blazer. This look is both bold and bright to match our statement necklace. I accessorized with neon coral J.Crew loafers and a taupe J.Crew satchel. I tied it all together with a nature-colored Amrita Singh bangle.
