Indulging your inner ballerina fantasies by wearing a tutu is a little over-the-top. (Just ask Lara Flynn Boyle or Lindsay Lohan, both of whom were cited by the fashion police for attempting to pull off the look after the age of six.)

That's why we love this dusty pink, battement necklace from Anthropologie ($118). It's ballet-inspired -- battement is a dance term that means a beating action of the bent or extended leg -- without being costume-y. And the ruffled fabric brings to mind Lanvin's gathered-ribbon necklaces.

Sure, it would a fitting accessory to wear to a performance of "The Nutcracker," but we envision it with gray tights and a simple sweater dress.
