Brand new red clutch I found today at a local thrift store. $3
Basic black purse I bought on clearance at Target for $13. You can buy it here.
Modern edgy ring from Burlington-$2.99
Feather earrings from Burlington-$3.99
Statement necklace from Burlington-$5.99
I wore the necklace today with a printed blouse. This purchase was actually inspired by Kelly of The Glamourai, since her jewelry is somewhat similar to this.
Currently, I am working on a few more D.I.Y projects that include a few accessories as well(with tutorials of course!), which I hope to have up soon.

Do the top designers really have the best stuff even for the prices? I mean I know that they mostly use the highest quality materials and that makes a big difference - but if money were no object would you be spending a lot less time hunting for great looking stuff at a bargain when you could just waltz to any department store, etc. and drop 10x or more in money for more of what you're looking for without all the improvising involved due to budgets?
ReplyDeleteSometimes the prices for designer items are actually worth it. The investment pieces I mentioned in the other comment are these such things. Higher quality means it will last a lot longer, and you will eventually get your money's worth. If I had a lot of cash to blow on clothes, I wouldn't just buy designer things. I think paying a lot of money for things you are only going to wear a few times is ridiculous so I would mix high designers with low and only splurge on things like coats, bags, boots, etc...those that I know I will continue to use year after year.
