The ‘statement necklace’ has gotten a lot of attention in recent seasons as the best way to spice up an outfit, but there’s no reason not to add a bold piece to an equally loud look. This Fashionista proves the right combination of big, cool clothes and accessories can take an outfit to the next level.

I love the color combinations and voluminous silhouette of this adorable dress – pale pink ruffles are perfect for spring. Even better? She works in two more totally unique pieces. This turtle necklace is beyond cool, and a fun, quirky addition of personality and style. Lace booties add a hip edge as a great alternative to your typical embellished flat or wedge.  

Adding one animal-inspired item is great to make it work on your own. Luckily, a ton of designers have Jungle Fever this year. A gold beetle, silver horse or brass zebra are just three whimsical picks that you should try on for size.  

Hint: Keep your look streamlined with a simple purse that doesn’t distract. A classic, neutral bag will let your other pieces do the talking.
