Jewelry 3 Ways – Thrifted, Affordable, DIY

Opulence On-Sale

Looking like a million bucks doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune. Costume jewelry is a fun way to add extra sparkle to any outfit.

As Kate Spade once said, “Playing dress-up begins at age five and never truly ends.”

Drowning in Pearls

When styling dramatic jewelry like this pearl set, remember to keep the focus on the jewelry- toned down colors and neutrals work best with dramatic jewelry. Take a hint from Audrey Hepburn and style your pearls with a flirty little black dress.
