Choosing the right necklace length

How do I know if my necklace looks good with my outfit. Are there any rules and regulations? Does anyone care?

Well there are some great tips you can use to base necklace length choices on.

We will discuss standard lengths of necklaces.

A collar style necklace is usually 12"-13" long. This type of necklace is great to wear to formal gatherings and elegant parties. You should have a thin neck and a blouse that shows off your neck when wearing a collar necklace. You should wear something like an off-the-shoulder or V-neck top or dress.

A choker necklace is about 14"-16" long. You wear this type of necklace only if you want to draw attention to the neckline. It will be the focal point of the eye.

A princess length necklace is 17"-19" long. Everyone understand that this is the most popular length necklace. The only rule to follow with the princess necklace is keep your collar lower than the necklace, so it will clear the necklace. Or make sure the collar is higher than the necklace so the necklace hangs over the collar. It just doesn't make sense to have both the necklace and collar meeting at the same point.

A matinee length necklace is 20"-24" long. You'll want to wear a very high or a very low collar with this length of necklace. It will dress up your work and casual clothes. Wear clean line top with this style. You don't want to wear a decorative top that will fight for attention with the necklace.

An opera length necklace is 28"-34" long. When you wear an opera necklace length it will add style to formal dresses or tops. The eye is drawn to the chest area and away from the neckline.

A rope length necklace is about 45" long. This necklace is great for special occasions. This style forces the eye to move up and down the torso. This style can also be wrapped for to form a double or triple strand.

There you go. Now you have some guidelines for necklace do's and don'ts. Go enjoy your jewelry.

Would you recognize her as Harley Quinn?

This Halloween, I wanna dress up as a "sexy" version of Harley Quinn from Batman. So I took some pictures I found online and photoshopped them together to make my own version of her costume.

My question is, if someone was wearing this, would you still be able to recognize her as Harley? And if not, what could I do to fix it?
