[COOL OR NOT COOL?] Oyster Hanging Strands from West Elm

Usually, I have so many decided opinions that I leave everyone around me wishing that they didn't have ears.

I mean, really—if you can answer the question, "Does this look like something Ariel from The Little Mermaid would use to decorate?" with a resounding "YES!" then you should probably leave it out of your home and back on the beach.
