My favorite piece of jewelry is my great aunt's bib necklace. It's just costume, and the inexpensive metal leaves my neck slightly green after wearing it, but I adore it anyway. Lately, I've been spotting bib necklaces in stores and on the street, and when I saw one on Mad Men, which has become a go-to series for fashion trends, I realized Aunt Dot was quite the fashionista back in her day. Below are some favorite picks if you're looking to acquire a bib of your own.
This gorgeous, gold-dipped Etta Necklace is most similar to the one I own, except it's adjustable (and $440).
For something more modern, try Banana Republic's Multi-Gem Bib ($55.30, was $79). Wear it with a simple sheath and you'll need nothing else.
Even Target has caught on to the bib trend with this Wrapped Chain-Link version ($30), which reflects that artsy-craftsy look also catching on around town.
