Save or Splurge: Betsey Johnson Jewelry

By -

When I worked at a department store for Christmas a while back, one of my responsibilities was to unpackage, display and sell the Betsey Johnson jewelry. Of course, I dealt with other jewelry, but the Betsey Johnson pieces were my favorites. Because of that, I sold a lot of it. And I also stalked stalked the clearance racks where I scored a really fun gold and black necklace with bows for only $9.

While I love $9 deals, I may splurge someday Betsey's super fun pieces. Unlike the cute jewelry I buy at Forever 21, this stuff won't break the second time I wear it. Also, it is designed better and won't look tragically trendy next year. These are the kind of statement pieces that last.

I will probably avoid the super pricey items, but I do think some of the moderately prices necklaces are worth the splurge. Even if it is costume jewelry.

What do you think? Would you splurge on Betsey's over-the-top fashion jewelry?

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
