A fun and frugal snob necklace for summer is a no-brainer, especially one that I would easily pay another $200 for. Marc by Marc Jacobs’ total outfit pick-me-up mixes up relatively common jewel themes for a refreshing result. Seashells and coral is your typical summer style fare, but a safety pin? That’s the twist that makes this less kitsch and more chic.
A gold-tone shell and piece of resin coral look surprisingly true to form; those itty-bitty rhinestones and oversized safety pin gives them the jolt they need. The long chain makes welcoming it into your summertime wardrobe easy. This combines several gratifyingly opposing ingredients – like a peaceful beach vacation that ends with a raucus night out in the city. On Net-a-Porter for $98.
Pair with: This silk sundress can be taken out in the evening, thanks to a mysterious print. Set against a black on bone V-neck, your seashells shine. At Barneys New York for $325.
