A long beaded necklace, such as the one on AnnaLynne McCord below, is actually a very versatile piece of accessory. Why? Because you can manipulate it!

For example, the necklace can be winded twice, even thrice, around your neck to make it appear layered.
To make a lariat, hold the necklace (assuming that there are no open ends) around your neck and simply loop one folded end (meaning two strands folded) through the space between the other folded end. You can twist, knot, add a pendant, or combine with other necklaces!
See how investing in one long necklace can turn out to be worthwhile and fun? Your look and styling can be different each time you wear it! Plus, it is quite fitting and budget-friendly to own various colored pieces all at once!
AnnaLynne seems to have figured that out already, and she can be an inspiration to ladies who want to try beaded necklaces out for formal or casual events!

AnnaLynne must have tons of bead necklaces in different colors. We found this basic black bead necklace, similar to the one around AnnaLyne’s neck in the first picture here, for only $60 at Amazon!
