"Let&amp;#x27;s take a moment to have a collective &amp;quot;ooooh&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;aaaah&amp;quot; over how stunning First Lady Michelle Obama looked at last night&amp;#x27;s state dinner, shall we? The Marchesa dress was movie-star worthy, but it was the Tom Binns baubles that really made this look memorable. And we&amp;#x27;re going to show you how to DIY it for a fraction of the price! The off-the-shoulder v-neck silhouette of this dress lends itself perfectly to a statement necklace, don&amp;#x27;t you think? But this baby is as expensive as it is gorgeous--similar styles from that collection start at $1,425--so we&amp;#x27;ve got a way to get the same look for a whole lot less. Remember that DIY technique I showed you gals a while back, of buying a bunch of super-cheap strands of beads and pearls and twisting them together into one major wow piece? That would totally work here, too! Shop a few affordable strands of blue beads to help get you started (or string your own for pennies!), then twist them up and marvel at your DIY prowess. The best part? You can do the whole project for twelve bucks. (Seriously, check this out!). More Forever 21... What do you think, ladies? Are you loving Michelle&amp;#x27;s look as much as we are?
