Update 7.10.12: One of our fabulous readers Laurie found the Real Deal version of this necklace!
Her sand colored silk blouse drapes beautifully to give it an almost wrap-like effect. The cuff and shoulders share a quilted pattern into the silk, which also gives a blouson/ peasant effect to the sleeves. The neck falls into a V neck pattern ending into a teardrop. The color is….ok, I would love to see it in a vibrant shade. The necklace choice, I also find to be a curious selection to accompany the delicate detailing of the blouse. I would rather see the necklace over a tank with a navy blazer. In any case, here are some similar options to the blouse and the Real Deal necklace by J Crew:
This silver arc necklace is just enough to work with the off the shoulder asymmetry of Steffy’s top. The solid arc is a little broader than most arc necklaces you see with a pretty chain covering the other two-thirds of this necklace, complete with Tiffany’s style toggle clasp. Where is the ‘Real Deal’??? Still working on finding the original, here are some options in the meantime:

What a pretty long beaded leaf necklace. This pulls the plaid shorts suit with black tank together nicely. The necklace would look just as pretty on a white tank and long skirt, or jeans. It’s a little less harsh than the bullet dangler no?
