Fashion Friday: Statement Jewelry

Nothing says POW like statement jewelry.  This trend emerged a year a two ago and looks as if it is here to stay.  I found these pieces by pair of sisters called Me & Lex .  Their favorite phrase "we like to pile on the good stuff" and boy do they ever! They make jewelry from vintage finds.  They are pros at layering jewelry that makes a huge impact.  If you ever need inspiration on how to layer, stack Me & Lex are your girls.  In the words of  Me & Lex go ahead "frost yourself".  I don't mind if I do!
