I have been on the hunt for the perfect bib necklace to add to my jewelry collection.  I love the statement pieces with sparkle and jewels that look perfect with your little black dress or also spice up your V-neck white T-shirt and skinny jeans.
I just found the most gorgeous collection of affordable ribbon-tie bib necklaces at Ann Taylor.  These are exactly what I have been looking for and I would happily take home every piece in the holiday collection!  They are affordable and unique with chunky pearls and pave clusters.
