Shopping Blues II

On Sunday I mentioned that with the economy in the crapper, updating one's wardrobe with new pieces for the fall might not be an option for folks. So in addition to grabbing a few fashion-forward items at budget-worthy prices (see Shopping Blues post), adding updated accessories to the basics you already have might be a good Plan B. Items to consider include statement jewelry (think oversized cuffs and necklaces), purple shoes and bags, biker-inspired boots and bags, oxfords, and oversized clutches. Here are a few examples that won't break the bank.

Multilayer Chain Necklace - $49.00

Three Strand Charm Necklace - $50.00

Autumn Stretch Bracelet - $62.00

Silver Cuff - $34.00

Vadim Clutch - $75.00

Truffaut Clutch - $75.00

Vulture Booties - $109.95

Carrie Pump - $89.95

Crunchh Flats - $59.95

Branson Pump - $119.95

Frye Harness Boot - $198.00

Super Star Necklace

I tend to stay pretty true to the classics when it comes to selecting my jewelry with a few exceptions and "star-styled" jewelery is one of those exceptions. I can't explain my fascination or love for it. I am sure it can go either way (i.e., I keep my head in the stars), so keep your "psycho babble" thoughts to yourself. This particularly item at ShopBop is adorably simple and won't break the bank at $80. I would really like to scoop it up right now since I seem to be on a gold jewelry bender right now (turns out its a better companion with my skin).
