Layered gold necklaces.

Anjelica Huston and Jack Nicholson, circa 1973.

I love what Anjelica Huston is wearing in this photo, from her effortless eye makeup to the black silk dress that conforms to her lithe frame. But I most especially love the detail of her casually layered gold necklaces because they look like something she never takes off and are just a part of her, no matter what she is wearing.
