COCO CHANEL INSPIRED


I DIE for vintage Coco Chanel ... however, like most people in this economy, I cannot afford glam items, especially vintage pieces. So, I wanted to share a necklace I found from EXPRESS a while back. To me, it's CoCo inspired, but with a modern appeal ...

















It combines over-sized flowers and rows of chains (her signature was to wear multiple strands of pearl necklaces). Something she did often was, rather than pretending the jewelry was 'real' she emphasized it by using size, color and in shear abundance - simply stated, "When you make imitation jewelry, you always make it bigger".

Channel your inner Coco - add a couple flower appliques and wear it as a wedding accessory, or create a unique gift for your bridesmaids.
