    No pic.

    As a guideline - if the neck of the shirt is deeply-cut, necklace. If it's not deeply-cut depends; a 'busy' or very pretty shirt neckline would mean the necklace woud likely get lost.

    I think the detail at the neckline is enough... it's practically jewelry itself.

    I definitely don't think a necklace is required, but if you feel the need, just a delicate chain would be enough. Again, simple earings would do the trick.

    Go with a necklace. something simple. Silver maybe - nothing ornate to distract from the pretty neckline of the shirt. Another option - use a classic piece; even costume jewelry on a hemp rope of tan/brown. Jeans under? What colour footwear?

    Make it non-flashy for sure. Colour is okay, but I'd like to see something that looks iron - that colour. Maybe a butterfly? Something like that - the more I see that the more I really want to see a hemp necklace. Nothing too long. Just a few inches above your bust-line, without being perfectly centered on your bare skin there.

    that's my $.02

    Hey thanks! I'm going to a friends house tonight, she's going to hook me up with some details/jewelry if I need it with the outfit. I really appreciate the feedback! I'm thinking a long gold/tan necklace with beeds maybe.

    Cute shirt---I love Rue!

    It doesn't NEED a necklace, because the lace on the neckline is very detailed, but if you wanted something I would go with a small silver chain, maybe a locket, something small.

    Great idea. Ya know, re-thinking...coloured beads - would be very cute. The design on the shirt is subdued because it's white - might be hard to see. Bringing colour there would help folks see the pretty neckline. I still like a rope string though - vs anythinge else. Maybe leather would work fine.

    here's the key: Find something you think is cute; something you'd love to wear...and wear that thing. Don't put too much thought into technical benefits of what you have on. Fashion and style relates closely to wine. Just as the best wine will be the wine you most-enjoy; often enjoyed because of the familiarity of the juice and the company around you as you drink - accessories are best-enjoyed when they mean something to you - the 'rules of fashion' be damned.

    Be sure and post-up what you've decided.

    Edit: Ya know? I like something like this -

    That really mymics the near floral design on the neckline - what colour are your eyes? If they are blue or green that pendant would / could look amazing. It's subtle - so not to be too busy at your neck (matched w/ the neckline)...and it's cute.

    Agreed. A necklace would detract from the detailing of the neckline. It kind of has a boho-chic feel to it, so I'd probably pair it with some cool feathered or even turquoise earrings. If you don't wear a necklace, you can wear bigger earrings instead.

    I would wear a delicate necklace and some dangle earrings, but they shouldn't be chunky

    I agree that shirt does not require a necklace. Less is more.

    I'm no help in choosing earrings. I'm allergic to everything but surgical grade stainless steel, so I've never been able to wear much more than captive bead loops.

    I would skip the necklace, but do big, eye catching earrings and a thick bracelet and a couple of rings.
