Do you like the jewelry trend of layered necklaces, long necklaces, or clustered pearls or beads?
I do like it on the models, but a lot of the pieces that I see at J Crew etc. are just too big and chunky for me. Also, I prefer to wear my real jewelry most of the time, so when it comes to costume jewelry I do not want to invest a lot of money--especially if it is trendy.
I found two necklaces today that I really like. I think they will look cute over a casual tee shirt or under a dressier jacket. I found them at a very surprising place--American Eagle! I like them more than many of the pieces that I have seen lately because the metal is not that shiny gold or overly shiny silver. And the prices were unbelievable!!!
The one above was on promotion at 50% off. I spent a whopping $7.75 on it!
It has just the right amount and size of pearls--I don't feel like Barbara Bush or a grandma with it on.
This double strand long necklace was full price at $15.50. It reminds me (okay--just a little bit) of a Chanel costume jewelry necklace that I am currently drooling over which costs $1295. Haha!
Both pieces together for length comparison.

I love JCrew and the rest of it..., you can see...
but HOW much was this necklace??? I'm sorry, but there must have been some sort of typo.
Hmm. Sure.
Oh boy..., time for me to hit the hay..., but I hear you and your hubby are already married! Why not write an article for us called: Been There; Done That. Give adice/tips/funny stories to future brides?

My readers are sick of hearing about me... !!
I like Kelly's idea. Hope to read that article.
I like the second one.
Feel free to stop on by my blog, though I'm new to the whole scene.
Pretty! I reall like the one on the right. I tend to have a few select pieces of good jewelry that I wear all of the time and then throw in a little bit of trendy and inexpensive stuff, especially chunky necklaces like coral.
They are both pretty and at that price, they're perfect! :)
