Layered Lovelies

So the other day I stumbled upon one of the few French movies I have enjoyed, titled, Haute Cuisine, about a gorgeous French woman who gets asked to become the French President's personal chef.  I won't say much more than that in case you watch it but she essentially is cooking in heels, dresses, fabulous jewelry and generally looking quite fashionable yet, simple and classy, in a way I have seen many French women pull off impeccably.  One of her signature styles in the movie was layered necklaces.  She would tie knots in long strands of things to make them short, layer colors and textures together and use her necklaces to not only tie in her earrings but contrast and pop against her sweaters.  Below you can see some some shots of her from the movie wearing this layered necklace look.  In the second pic look closely, she is wearing her grey pearls with a gold chain.  LOVE IT!  It ties in gold and silver together while doing something unexpected texturally, giving the pearls a dash of modern while not taking away from their soft beauty because she kept the chain light and small.  I think my favorite part of this look is you can have fun with it and experiment.  What do you think?  Will you try this?  Maybe for one of the upcoming holidays?
