A few nights ago while watching the CW show Privileged (a must-watch for those who love cute, feel good shows), I noticed plenty of sparkly jewelry beautifully draped around the necks of two main characters, Sage and Laurel.
It was interesting to see how these ladies, despite being two generations apart, managed to wear the same trend but in ways that were more suited to their individual styles.
Sage, the young socialite, accessorized her trendy outfit with a stylish silver multi-chain necklace while her grandmother, Laurel wore gold chain necklaces to achieve a look that's more classic and elegant.
photos courtesy privilegedfan.comFor me, the ultimate inspiration for multi chain necklaces has to be the Givenchy F/W 08 collection (below). Layers upon layers of gold chains with dangling crosses, coins and other charms were worn over dark, tailored pieces. The result was nothing short of fierce.
photo courtesy designscene.netIt would take me quite a while to accumulate the masses of assorted chains and pendants necessary to recreate that kind of awesomeness, but these options below would make great (and more wearable) substitutes.

UK £16.00 (US$25.60)
Speaking of chains, I finally found a quilted purse with chain strap, which has been on my wish list for quite some time now. I bought this vintage one from a garage sale on Saturday and it only cost me $7.50.
(the colour is actually closer to the shade below)
It's not authentic Chanel of course, but that doesn't matter to me - I just love the colour and style of this bag. Some day I hope to own a real one though...
I also found a few other great bags that I plan to sell in the store. I'm so excited!

I love the layered Givenchy look but those models look like they'd crumble under the weight of those jewels :)
You've come up with great alternatives =)
I must look for some chains on the highstreet.

Love those necklaces! And that is one gorgeous bag! The color is fabulous. I love that kind of rich purple-blue shade. Just wish they had more clothes, etc. of that color out in shops.
NICE SCORE ON THE BAG!

I love this look, layered chains are very sofisticated yet funky, your choices of jewellery are good, mind taking a look at my blog? Just started a range of perspex jewellery.
i love loads of chains too. Have you checked out dirty librarian chains? They're so cool.
I love this trend, especially at Givenchy. Too bad I can't pull that off haha ! & congrats on the Chanel, very cute.
i really loved the givenchy bling, and the way he paired it with avant garde black garnments..
