One of my favorite costume necklaces of all time is back! If you need any more convincing on the necklace, here’s 10 ways I’ve styled it across the seasons:
With blush + gold for spring <photo from this post>
Cardigan jacket + grey jeans <photo from this post>
Pink + distressed denim <photo from this post>
Black trousers + pops of blue <photo from this post>
Casual office look with flounce skirt <photo from this post>
Basic layered look <photo from this post>
Classic black + white <photo from this post> 
And one of my personal favorites, with a winter white-out <photo from this post>

That's very kind of you – currently I just use basic cleanser and moisturizing lotion. I use Cetaphil fragrance free cleanser with my Clarisonic brush, and then Eucerin fragrance free moisturizer.
Which skirt? I've linked to the blog post that each photo is from, if that helps. Each post lists the full outfit details.
Thank you for letting me know! Always disappointing when people do that without asking : /
Thank you for sharing your experience! I do want to say that I think you got lucky with an associate since I've always been told that stores do not match online pricing. Also, this is a closeout item from last season and they already brought it back at full price for the spring season. I think if anyone can also get this deal then that is awesome! I just don't want any readers driving to stores to try this and being disappointed.
Hello – With swimsuits I wore flat faux leather sandals, specifically ones from Mossimo that I featured often last year. Most people just wear rubber flip flops which is practical for wet areas.
Hi Rachel! I plan to do a review of the swimsuit soon! I can understand why they wouldn't be able to provide measurements because the material is stretchy, so the measurements of the piece un-stretched wouldn't really mean much as a result. THey probably don't want anyone guestimating how much stretch the material will have and then end up with something that doesn't fit based on their calculations. That being said, when lying flat and unstretched, the XXS milly I have measures about 24" around the band size and 13.3" across the waist of the bottoms.
I have seen this with items that brands bring back season after season. Even though the item is technically the same style, they track based on seasonal orders so they probably marked down last Winter's pearl necklace orders significantly to make room for Spring's pearl necklaces which will be sold closer to full price. I think those who snagged one at this clearance price were very lucky. I definitely wouldn't expect to find that type of pricing again for a piece that they bring back each season. Like I said in the post though…I liked it enough to pay much more for it and would certainly still recommend it, on sale or not.
Hi there – this is a necklace they've been bringing back each season so I'm pretty sure it's still available or will be available shortly, but mostly likely will not be at this clearance price.
I have not seen this… but the sales lady explained to me that they do flash sales to clear the warehouse. But also sometimes the sales are FINAL, which the same piece may have a different policy at the store and could be returned. 🙁 So sad I missed such a great deal as I too have been eyeing the necklace. But I called two stores today and they have it at 30%. So I jumped at that as its an investment piece. The sales lady likened it to her Chanel 3-stranded necklace. Another store confirmed to me that pieces like that that are a staple rarely get saled/discounted. But there is plenty of inventory in the store!
Love your sophisticated look!
I love the skirt you're wearing. Do you mind sharing where it's from?
Your skin is so gorgeous! Do you have a specific beauty regimen?
Necklace looks perfect in all your looks!

Jean, don't know if this is worth your time to follow up, but I thought that you might like to know that someone on eBay is using your photo to resell this necklace: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-Ann-Taylor-Pearlized-Crystal-Statement-Necklace-79-99-/321679632292?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash;=item4ae599a7a4
You are the second photo.
so trying this…
I love all the looks and I love your necklace!

Love how you styled the necklace! Very chic 🙂

Sign up with one of the mail forwarding companies in the US (I use Comgateway) and have your item shipped to a US address, then have it shipped to Australia. Much cheaper than buying it in AUD. I also live in Australia and shop a lot at Loft, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic and J Crew–I've been happy with Comgateway so far.
Even though I promised my husband that I wouldn't buy any clothes or accessories for the next year, I found myself on Ann Taylor's website, credit card in hand…only to find that the necklace was already sold out. Looks like the hubby wins this time…
Lovely necklace! Such a shame that their prices on their Australian site are so much higher than their US one. 🙁

Hi guys! I've never posted on here before, but I wanted to share that I was able to purchase the necklace for $39.88 in store. I know it's not as good of a price as $15, but at least it was half off. After seeing this post (and realizing it was out of stock), I browsed the website looking for other things I might like. The link Jean posted listed the necklace for $79.50, but if you look under "sales" it is listed under there for $39.88. Unfortunately, it was sold out online so I couldn't use the code to get an additional 60% off. I use the store locator feature to hunt it down and when I got there, I saw that it was still marked at full price. I talked to an associate about it and showed her the online price and she said if that's what the online price says, she'll honor it. So here I am, wearing my beautiful new necklace as I'm typing this. Hope you guys are all able to get this necklace as well! 🙂

What a pretty necklace. It looks really versatile and looks great with all of these outfits!

You're so pretty and I love your blog 🙂
Love your outfits and the necklace. Too bad I just put myself on a much needed spending freeze, otherwise I would be all over this sale!
Jean, you inspired me to buy this necklace. I have it and will take pictures with very soon 🙂 The last time I wore it was to a holiday party along with a red dress from H&M; 🙂
Nice outfits. All are very beautiful
dear Jean, can you do a post "what to pack for a beach vacation" ? clothes, accessory, footwear…. I wonder what you use for foot wear when you wear swim suit ? I know most people wear flip flop but they does not help with short height.
Hi Jean, I'm a long-time follower but I've never posted before. You've provided me so much wardrobe inspiration over the years and I want to thank you for that! I saw your gorgeous Triangl Milly bathing suit on IG the other day and was wondering if you would mind posting the measurements of the circumference of the top band and also the waist of the bottoms. I tried getting measurement info from Triangl's live chat and they (oddly) said they couldn't provide measurements! It would be super helpful if you can get around to it. Thank you!
What a steal for the necklace!

Like stated above, my local store has it – at full price. In fact, the associate said they just received it about 2 weeks ago. In realize pricing can be different; however, this seems disproportionate: $79.98 in store and $15.95 on final sale online (and sold out now). Have you seen this happen before?
anntaylor.com live chat said it was sold out online and in stores, but when i called my local store did have it available. unfortunately FLASH60 is applicable only online. it's buy 1 get 50% the next in stores. any other suggestions?
If you find something similar please post. I was too late ;(
Love that necklace so!

Gahh. I ordered this necklace a week ago when it was already marked down somewhat, so I'm pretty bummed I can't get a price adjustment for this amazing deal. Ah, well. I'd been eyeing this necklace forever thanks to your ever-stylish pairings with it, and mine is supposed to come in tomorrow… So excited!
I love the various ways you've styled this necklace! Super cute!!

I have been eyeing that necklace for a very long time and now it can officially be mine in 8 business days. Yipppeeee!!!! Thank you Jean for the heads up.
