A Sample of My Current Favorite Peices of Jewelry

I don't own a lot of 'grown-up' jewelry (read: non-costume!); most of my collection comes from the thrift store or flea markets. These are great places to snag original, interesting and CHEAP pieces that add a lot of interest to even the most basic of outfits.

1. Black and Animal-Print Cuff: I picked this up at a local thrift store, and I tend to wear it alone. It's elastic, so it's super comfortable on my wrist.
2. White Beaded Necklace: I snagged this puppy at a flea market for less than a buck. It has a classic/vintage feel that I absolutely LOVE.
3. Cream Bead and Leather Wrap Bracelet: This is a Chan Luu dupe that I bought at Kohls a few weeks ago when it was on sale and I was able to use a 30% off coupon. I love how it makes even the most casual jeans and tee outfit more pulled together.
4. Flower Pin: This is yet another flea market find. For about $2 this lovely, vintage piece adds  sophistication to some of my plain, lightweight scarves.
5. Gold Earrings: These hold a special place in my collection. They were my grandmother's, and she handed them down to me before she passed away two years ago (can't you tell she had a wonderful sense of style just by looking at them?). Every time I wear these beautiful earrings, I think of her, which is priceless.
6. Multi-Stone Ring: I picked this gem up at Target of all places. I tend to wear it on my middle finger, and it works with almost any outfit. Loves it.
