Kenneth Jay Lane's silver chain necklace sold for $65 at Rent the Runway but is no longer available. I actually rented it last year, and can tell you it's very big and chunky in person.




When I saw this necklace today at Charlotte Russe, I was instantly reminded of its designer doppelganger. The Charlotte Russe version comes in silver or gold for $7.50 and you can click the image below to view or purchase.

Spring is the perfect time to clean out your closet - so why not make a little extra cash in the process? After all, if you're a Budget Babe, you've waited for sales, clipped those coupons and made sure you bought your wardrobe at the best price possible. Donating unused items is easy (and tax deductible) but selling your gently used clothing, shoes, bags and jewelry is a great way to recoup a portion of what you've spent - and give you some spending money that you can put towards new purchases. Here's a round-up of 5 online consignment stores - some I've used, some are new-to-me - where you can list and sell your unwanted fashions. And of course you can always shop at these fine retailers, too, especially if you're looking for genuine designer goods at a discount. Got a consignment shop tip? Tell me in the comments!

Forever 21 has signed American model Charlotte Free for their Spring/Summer 2012 campaign, "Love is Free," shot by Kenneth Cappello. Known for her pink hair, pout and personal style, Charlotte Free's image can be seen in Forever 21 stores starting next month, dressed in the brand's neon statement pieces, floral pantsuits, Americana-inspired ensembles, and metallic accessories, as featured in the campaign's lookbook. Neon tank tops (starting at $5.80) and dresses (starting at $15.80) inspired by the campaign are currently available in stores, with more coming online and in stores next month. Also, be on the look out for a series of "Love is Free" campaign products for purchase debuting in May. This Charlotte Free (that can't be her real name, can it!?) is definitely a model to watch!
