**UPDATE:** Thanks to a tweet from @notlostintrans, I discovered another blogger's amazing DIY version of the Lanvin: The Glamourai created detachable ankle jewelry that can be worn a dozen ways! Superchic.

More GUESS...

The best knock-off I've found so far isn't cheap, but it's a lot less than the original. It's the 'Seeri' by Guess ($128) and you can wear the chains draped in back or wrapped around the ankle (says so in the product details.) Click the pic to learn more, Lanvin lovers!

More Chloé...

Here we see Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester wearing her pair with a plaid romper, followed by Chloe Sevigny (the designer herself) wearing her wedges with a nude body-con dress, and finally model Chanel Iman rocking her shoes with skinny jeans and a blazer. Edgy and eye-catching yet surprisingly versatile, too.
