I have a slight obsession with jewelry. Now before you roll yours eyes at me, please know this obsession does not impact my husband or our wallet because while I am all for accessorizing, I am also all about not spending a fortune.
Costume jewelry is much more my focus. Take me into Tiffany and Co. and yes I will smile and gawk at the jewels before me, but take me into a pop-up accessory store and I will jump up and down and scream like the audience members when Oprah announced everyone was getting a car.
In fact, I was walking through the hallway at work this past week, with a statement necklace on and someone stopped me and said, “I love your necklace! Kendra Scott, right?” (I had no idea who Kendra Scott was. Now I do.). I stopped, thought about telling a white lie and nodding my head yes, but instead replied, “Honestly, you won’t believe it but it was a Payless Shoes accessory find.” The kind woman replied, “Honey, you got yourself a knock-off!”
LEFT: Forever21 – 7.90 || RIGHT: JCrew – 99.00
LEFT: Tiffany and Co. – 650.00 || RIGHT: Baublebar – 28.00
LEFT: Banana Republic – 34.99 || RIGHT: Alexander McQueen – 365.00
LEFT: Charming Charlie – 8.00 || RIGHT: Barneys (Irene Neuwirth) – 3,080.00
How insanely close is the last example? I can’t get over the similarity visually and then to see a price point of $8 versus $3,080?!?! Say, wha!! Explanation point city happening right here. Moral of the story – you can look extra chic for extra cheap! Happy Shopping!
