We’re loving the idea of a multitude of gold disc pendants strung about the neck a la Me + Ro (or AlexandAni) but we ain’t paying upwards of $285 for them. No siree – we’re also not into anything stamped or overly-designed, we just want something clean and sweet, a trifecta of circles lying on the throat.
So what’s a girl to do? Do it on the cheap, of course.

We grabbed these earrings to sacrifice for our cause from Target.com for $8.99. Pulling 3 discs off the bottom with some help from our jewelry pliers was no big feat, and the earrings pretty much looked the same regardless. (Conservation, woo-hoo!) We attached them to three thin chains we’d bought from our local craft store, and voila! A perfect 3-disc necklace for less than $11.

What do you think?

So we were all wowed by the fashion from the SATC movie, and numerous “how to get the look” postings on blogs across the world followed the movie’s release. (Yours truly is also guilty 😉
So one look I was obsessed with was that effortless Katharine Hamnett “STAY ALIVE IN 85” tee that SJP was wearing in one scene as a mini-dress, with those unforgettable argyle thigh-highs and gladiator sandals. (I’ll skip the thigh-highs myself for wearing anywhere but in my backyard for a photo op.)
Since I’m not about to go and plunk down 40 pounds (about $73 U.S.) for a t-shirt at KatharineHamnett.com’s online store (yes, I’m a frugal cheapskate!), and given the fact that the lovely cobalt blue color SJP is wearing in the movie is not even available (and they don’t ship to the U.S.-major bummer), I’ll have to go one better.
It’s a t-shirt worn as a dress. No problem. Find out how I did it…
