Gentlemen's Ties = Ladies' Classic Beads

I'm on the job market and needed an instant wardrobe update without having to spend money on new work clothes. Taking a cue from my husband's closet, I decided the best way to punch up my work wear basics and diversify my outfits was with simple, classic beaded necklaces. Stringing vintage glass and semi-precious (jet, agate, & mother of pearl) beads on silk and waxed cotton cord took no time at all and satisfied my need for an updated look while keeping to my budget.
