STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

This is probably not going to help you any, but a friend of mine has this necklace and it is beautiful!

She wears it quite a bit because, as you said, it goes with everything. It appeared to be good quality although I didn't inspect it too closely.

Get to your nearest F21 ASAP! I got an identical necklace with grey/black beads for $7 and they had a white/cream version too.

Also, I have read that Target had the same necklace, but it might be sold out by now. It was around $10.

I love the etsy ones that TST posted too.

I remember seeing similar ones at Target as well.

thanks everyone -

heatherlynn - it's good to know that that necklace has worked out well for your friend, i'm still seriously considering it.

tst - thanks for the etsy options - those are cute and i may get those instead.

jj - i'm totally going to f21 as soon as i can today!  looking on their website now.

jj and ranchera - how long ago did you see the necklace at target?  i go there almost every week but haven't been there the last couple of weeks and am wondering if this is a new item b/c i don't remember seeing it then (and i always look at the jewelry section).

thanks again and any other thoughts or opinions are welcome!!

Here's a link that shows how the Target one compares to JCrew:

I think it was in stores January/February so it may be gone.

I got my F21 version two weeks ago and they had a ton.

alb - yep, that's it! (the second one)

alb - i'm going to Target tonight.  do you want me to look for their k/o for you?

shopchicago - thanks so much for offering to look for me.  i was just going to post and say yes please but my mom actually found one at her target in tx and she is coming to visit me tomorrow.  you are so nice to offer to look for me though!!

jj - thanks for the link to the blog - it was very helpful.  also, i got the one at F21 just a few minutes ago.  it was $5!

boots - thanks also for the link to that necklace - it's beautiful and the price seems reasonable!

thanks again everyone!  i love this forum - i was thinking i was going to have to wait a long time to get the j crew one and now i have two super cheap knock-offs!

Glad you got the Target one! I was going to post earlier today to tell you to check there, but my Blackberry wouldn't let me post. I got the Target one a few months ago for $7 and I've worn it a TON. I'm sure the JCrew one is probably a bit nicer in quality, but honestly, I don't think it makes that much of a difference for the price.
