editor

This year one of my money-saving strategies is to liven up what I already have in my closet with budget-friendly accessories. In this episode we highlight FOUR super chic and trendy accessories that can change your look and not break your bank.



Brooches, cocktail rings, stacked bracelets, and chandelier earrings top our list of high-style/low-cost accessories. Check out all the great buys we've got in the latest episode of the Thread with our new Click-to-buy feature. Each week we'll make it easy for you to grab the celebrity trends that we highlight on each episode of the Thread—for a fraction of the cost. We've done the work and combed the market to find the best scores; all you have to is click on the images and follow the link. All the celebs have personal shoppers—why shouldn't you?

    Personally, I think that the current trends are big, opulent, and far too ostentatious for me. When it comes to jewelry, I'm of the opinion that less is more. I like to be elegant & tasteful as far as dressing up goes.

    I love all these trends even though I can't afford...I usually choose bead jewelry. I'm American Indian and I don't really feel like my outfit is complete unless I have on something silver and my bead jewelry. It's not expensive and I love to make my own earrings and braccelettes, etc...Love you all. Lweekly2
