Designers mixed pearls and chains to create a look that was definitely feminine, but with an unstructured edge.  Want to create your own take on it?

Let’s start with the “Janis” necklace from Forever 21 (ringing in at only $10.80):

And then add a string of faux pearls on top (also from Forever 21, and only $6.80)

The pearls are long enough to knot, like some of the looks from Baby Phat.

Have fun – tangle the chains, add knots to the pearls, find your own style with it!

Designers are also using chains and layers of beads to create layered necklaces – check out this inexpensive pick from Rimistyle:

At only $20 it’s an easy way to add some trendy style to your wardrobe without breaking the bank!
