Two For The Price Of One: Necklace Shirts Return

As someone who favors giant, flashy necklaces–I've got massive amber ones from Morocco, vintage ones from the Sunday flea market around the corner, blinged-out chains from street vendors –I actually kind of love the new trend of necklace shirts. You've actually seen this before, a few years back: a decorative chain or chains woven into a shirt, like a permanent necklace. But the style seemingly sold only at low-cost retailers like Forever 21 and Wet Seal, making it both tacky and short-lived. Now it's been reincarated, way bigger and better. Check out this

I particularly like this stylized version from Delerius ($155), who also sells a similar necklace dress ($160).

The trend even includes embedded chunky beaded necklaces that I so adore, as in this Prairie Eyelet Racerback Top ($185) from Luv Charlie.

The only problem I see with this style is that you have to wear the same "necklace" with the same top every time. No switcharoos, no jazzing up that black Prairie top with a big red beaded number, or making the Flounce tank more sophisticated with a simple silver pendant chain. But all in all, I think it's a pretty hot look.
