Something for the weekend: Bib necklaces

Bib necklaces are no longer seen as a fashion item – they've been around too long. Their popularity is simple: they're a brilliant way to fancy-up basic T-shirts, plain jumpers or simple dresses. This makes them a useful thing to stash in your jewellery box and/or office drawer. Note: while these particular bibs have quite a bit going on, none of them falls into screechy, ritzy-ritzy camp.
