i heart accessories

Somehow when I’m feeling guilty for overspending on clothes, I don’t feel bad about buying accessories. Accessories last forever! Unlike the 8 shirts I’ve bought this summer covered in ruffles, I’ll continue to wear my accessories into the next season and beyond with a variety of outfits. You know I speak the truth. Fortunately I lack the shoe & purse obsessive gene so at least my closet floor isn’t filled to the brim with bulky boxes or bags. I prefer my accessories to be small and easily stored…necklaces, earrings & belts. Also fortunate is that my preferred baubles can be bought on the cheap. Check out my newbies…

Isn’t is adorable? This one is from TheSilverDog on Etsy. I implore you to go look at her selection, it’s incredible. Every color combo you can think of…I want to order like six more. Or twelve.

The next two came from JC Penney. For some reason, I love to shop there. Wait, I know the reason. Back in college when I would run up my credit cards, I had a JCP charge card that always had room on it. So if I needed a new outfit/bag/duvet cover, I would just go charge it. Don't try this at home kids, it always ends badly. However, I still go there because their jewelry selection is awesome. And always on sale.

This last one actually garnered a compliment from the very gay boy that I buy my coffee from each morning, so apparently, mission accomplished.
