We love the preppy look. However, it's one of those things that's easy to do full-out, but sometimes a little harder to pull off in a more subtle fashion. Most items are either preppy or they're not. End of story.
This Beaded Paisley Necklace, available at J.Crew for $75, bridges the gap nicely. It's reminiscent of a preppy pattern, but with the rusty color and resin beads it has a more earthy, slightly ethnic feel. We can picture this adding a punch of color to a basic white top or adding some flair to a blue or green hued dress. Because it has it's own pattern, it can really complete an outfit, which really makes for a great addition to your accessories collection.
