My crafty and fabulous roommate Jenny made me a necklace to rival the one above for an early bday present! She is the best :) After seeing a similar bauble at the outlet mall marked down from over a hundred to still more than she would spend, Jenny got to work with her tools and made her own!
Picture coming soon...
However the few items I do own from J. Crew, I have had for YEARS. The kind of fabric Target has never even dreamed of. So thrift stores, outlet stores, I keep my eyes open for that label! I scored a pristine condition Banana Republic sweater last fall, and have worn it all winter.
One thing I will invest in is accessories. My skin just can't tolerate a cheap necklace. I have ordered adorable agate pendants from Old Navy, funky multiple strand necklaces from F21, and all of them rub off their fake plating and leave a residue on my skin for days! Its not the visible green kind, just a feeling that the necklace is still on, kinda burning. So I know better now.
This lady knows better too. Hello fabulous!
Etsy propelled me into the world of handcrafted, affordable jewelry, I love ordering one of a kind earrings, vintage necklaces, even thrifted boots!
Whoa... speaking of fabulousness, check out this necklace from savage salvage's shop!
