Also, re: the below necklaces:

The one that was highly preferred:
Forever 21, approx $9

The one that was not approved:
Anthropologie, approx $50

However; what is perhaps most interesting is that at least part of this is photography; I looked at both at them and the one from Anthro is definitely a lot nicer (the Forever 21 necklace basically looks like junk, which basically it is). But Anthro has that weird extra long chain. Not surprisingly, I haven't actually bought either one. But at least this kind of relieves my mind that there definitely IS an improvement over Forever 21 at Anthro, even if it's not quite as much as one would hope.
