Jewels!

Holy moly where have the months gone? It has literally been months since I last posted on here, but a lot has changed. I moved back to Alabama, graduated from Auburn, and got a job! I guess that's a legitimate excuse right? I'll write a post with a more in depth update soon. Until then I want to brag on myself for these amazing necklaces I found at great prices!

I am always a sucker for large statement pieces of jewelry, if and only if the price is right. I refuse to pay more than 20 dollars for necklaces, and honestly that is slightly high for me. Some of you may think I'm crazy, but I'm not... it's called being on a budget and shopping smart! I can find the same great pieces for less 9 times out of 10 if I give it time. Shopping for jewelry at places like J Crew, Banana Republic, and Loft is the most absurd thing I have ever heard of. Hello? Have you heard of Forever 21? On a serious note, there are many other options than paying around fifty dollars for a statement piece necklace.

My philosophy is, if it's so unique that I 'have' to have it... then I won't want to be seen wearing it all day every day. More than likely I will wear it out about five times that year to keep it fresh and new. So why spend a buttload of moolah on something I'm not going to wear a lot? There's no point.

Here are the two great necklaces I found last week for half the price of most stores:

I got this gem at forever21 online for a whopping 12 dollars. I'm obsessed with it. It could spice up a basic white fitted tee shirt or even a long maxi dress. 

& this one I got from Old Navy online for 16 dollars. I love the turquoise and brown beaded part around the neck and the hanging gold layers at the bottom. It's so unique and I love it. I am so pleased to not have spent a fortune on the same jewelry at boutique prices. 

I hope you enjoyed my fabulous finds as much as I did. Happy bargain shopping!
