New DIY Necklace Idea

When you think of big baubles and oversized statement necklaces, you're thinking sterling silver or mixed metals for the ultimate effect. I bet you're not thinking neon. But, since everyone is wearing the same layered chains from J. Crew (I am just as guilty), why not go for something that no one else is wearing. Just get something large and oversized---easy enough. Then with a can of spray paint from your local hardware store, change that shade to something completely new and unique. The pics here show neon yellow which I think would pop quite nicely against all of the navy in my closet. What would work best with your Fall colors? Hot pink with heather grays? Iridescent purple with all black? The most unlikely pairing is most likely to work best.
