    I put up a post earlier and got some good feedback but at my last fitting I actually took picks of my jewelry in my dress. I just can't seem to decide what I like best and what I want so I feel like i need a majority decision. Necklace or Earrings?

    I think you could wear both the drop earrings and necklace. They don't appear to be taking anything away from your dress or competing with each other (at least at the distance the photo was taken)

    Both!  But if you insist on just one then necklace.

    I like both also! I think the necklace makes you look a little older actually - not in a bad way, just more mature. So depends what look you're going for. :)

    Just earrings - As I've said in other posts I'm a big fan of a bare neckline with a strapless. I think when you add a necklace you block up yourself and loose some elongation...ie: without the neckless I think your top half looks slimmer (although you aren't exactly in need of hiding any pounds!!). Earrings only just seems so much more sleek to me.

    P.S. Love the dress :)

    I voted just earrings! Your dress is stunning and I think the necklace sort of takes away from it's beauty...I do like the necklace, but I prefer a bare neck :)

    I'm going to have to go with the necklace if you have to choose just one.

    I would say necklace. You have an oval shaped face and the earings are making your face look longer.

    The necklace! Since it's strapless, the necklace helps to break up that area.

    wear both! sometimes wearing both a necklace and a pair of drop earrings is too much, but your dress is very simple and elegant, so wearing both won't be a problem. i think your necklace goes GREAT with your dress and your earrings matches the necklace great too!

    my vote is for the earrings if i had to choose one. but is it not possible to do a necklace as well? but something with a very thin chain and a small pendant?

    Earrings!  They accent your face beautifully. :)

    I voted for earrings, only because I'm not a fan of pearls.

    Would you be wearing simple/stud pearl earrings with the necklace (as it appears you are wearing in the first picture)?

    Or if you wear the necklace do you plan on skipping earrings altogether?

     

    Bah...I have to say "other"

    You have a stunning neckline, so I think just simple/stud pearl earrings and the bracelet would look amazing. 

    OR

    The necklace with simple/stud pearl earrings and the pearl bracelet. If you feel you need something on your neck.

    I think you dress is "simple" enough to handle all of that too.

     

    Didn't really like the drop earrings.

    I am going with both also.  I really like that necklace with that dress and think the earrings only add to the look as a whole.

    @HotSauce:

    Yeah, I've been thinking of trying to go that way now. I'm on the hunt for something similar to earrings with out paying a ton. Thanks!

    Both! Neither are too overpowering and they're very complimentary =]

    Thanks everyone! I would technically say the majority says necklace which is the one I'm concerned about wearing and having people think its too much. Thanks!

    I say both, but if just one, I suggest the necklace.

    I agree with what someone else said. I would wear both but probably swap the pearl necklace for a more delicate pendant on a chain.

    I say that cos the earrings look great and very 'bridal' so you should definietly keep them!

    Both! But if you REALLY have to choose one... probably the earrings.
