look for less: dual-tone necklace

i've built my jewelry collection around a few pricier, classic pieces and i add in a few trendier statement pieces every season. my go-tos for inexpensive jewelry are forever 21 and charlotte russe. they have an ever-changing rotation of inventory and it's also a great way to find the look for less. i just came across charlotte russe's version of anthropologie's double torsade necklace. it's less than half the price and every little bit helps...especially when you're about to buy a house.
