You know, we have nothing against ridiculously expensive accessories. We love fabulous, flashy jewelry, and we think spending a paycheck on it is just a tribute to the fashions gods ... in theory. However, in practice, we're huge fans of inexpensive, fun pieces of jewelry that give a pop of color and whimsy to even the plainest of white tees.

That's why, at $12.50, this Old Navy Short Gumball Necklace is such a cool piece. We like it in red (picture it against a navy and white striped top for a trip to the Cape), but it comes in a variety of colors as well as a longer length.
The oversized beads add a funky appeal to basic, preppy ensembles as well as flirty summer dresses. And for such a great price, why not add one to your jewelry box?
