Okay, this is the last time I'll bother you all with this necklace project--promise! I had a spare JoAnn's coupon, so I steeled myself and took a look. On my third pass through, yes I missed them the first two times, I found exactly what I was looking for, loop chain from Plaid. The right color (a matte gold), the right size--I was thrilled! This is exactly what I'd pictured.
The dress is a new-to-me find from the thrift store. I've been on the look out for something like this ever since I saw this cute dress at thimbly things. (That links to a very popular cardigan refashion, but it was the dress that captured my imagination.) This one is close enough for me and only set me back $4. I may do a little refashioning to it, just to refine the shape a bit.
Carrie just left me a comment about seeing these links in other colors...hey, me too! Unlike Carrie, I couldn't resist grabbing the blue ones. (Alas, no black at my store, or I'd've gotten them too.)
I paid a visit to the cheapy jewelry store in the mall, looking for ideas and possibly parts, and brought home a very shiny silvery $3 necklace to play with.
With all those different links, I figured I could come up with something! How's this?

Oh I love the turquoise necklace you made! Okay, now I will have to go back tomorrow and buy them...and now I'll wonder all night if they are still there! HAHAHA
do you want some black ones??
you should do a giveaway for that blue necklace, and I should win ;)
Carrie, I would LOVE black ones, but I should probably refrain. You go get 'em for yourself!
I want a fashion show on the dress with the necklace.
Nice necklaces! I especially like the blue one.
I'm loving both those necklaces - they look great ... the turquoise one is just gorgeous. Glad you got there in the end.
cute! I like them! I think the turquoise one is my favorite.
I was grabbed by your necklaces over at Wardrobe Refashion & just had to visit your blog. Nice work!
