Cheap Thrill! A Flashy Bib Necklace That Costs Less Than Your Lunch!

Gilles Mendel has never been afraid to turn up the glam factor on the runway, and his Fall 2009 collection for J. Mendel was no exception. We instantly zeroed in on his chunky, jewel-encrusted bib necklaces—costume jewelry, after all, is all the rage as of late—but luckily, you don't need a silver spoon in order to get your hands on this glitzy bib. At less than $17, Forever 21's take on the high-shine bauble is like an affordable garden of gilded lilies, perfect for adding some sparkle to plain tees by day and LBDs by night.
