Luxe Or Less: Chanel Camellia Metal Chain Necklace/Belt

(Original photos courtesy of La Voguette.)


"Okay, okay, we get it!" you think as soon as you see the title and picture for this post. "You love Chanel. You're all about the classy and classic pieces. You'd sell your soul for double-C logos and white camellias. And yeah, that's a cute, versatile piece whether it's worn as a statement necklace over a simple black sweater, or as a low-slung belt over a little black dress. But come on! It's downright exorbitant for a flower, some beads, and some metal chains."

Yeah, my thoughts exactly...which is why I have my eye on the 'Lisa' flower necklace from Marciano, priced at $82.35. Look, look! An enamel flower, multiple gold chains, even a chain with interwoven leather much like what Chanel does for its handbags. I'm in love. It's even named after me. This must be fate.

  1. Very pretty! Both are out of my price range though.

  2. The Clothes Horse, I know what you mean. $82 is a bit steep for a costume jewelry necklace in my opinion (I could get a dress for that much!). We'll see how I feel about it post-sabbatical and whether there are any left in stock. :)

  6. Haha it is indeed Carrie's closet. I get asked about the header all the time. I did Photoshop the image and adjust the size and lightness, though.
