Spring/Summer 2013 Jewelry Haul

Ok, so the word "haul" doesn't really apply to my shopping style. I almost never go into a store and come out with a bag full of new clothes. Usually I buy one or two things at most. A lot of times, I walk out of stores completely empty handed.
But this spring, I did buy a bunch of new jewelry. It's an inexpensive way to keep up with the latest color trends, and when the pieces are not in style, it is easy enough to stuff them in a shoe box until the colors come back around. Even though large "statement" necklaces are the in thing right now, and I have to admit to really liking them, I stuck with moderately sized pieces that will be less likely to go totally out of style.
One of my favorite places to shop for jewelry is Burke's Outlet. I bought the fuchsia bangle, fuchsia necklace, and the yellow necklace there. Most of their jewelry is under $10 and those pieces were all under $5. I also will buy things from Clair's (the skull bracelets and the turquoise bracelet) when they go on clearance. I got the skull bracelets for $1 each. Hands down, my favorite place to buy jewelry is Body Central. At $3.90 a piece, you pretty much can't go wrong. I bought the two green "necklaces" there. Originally, it was a pair of earrings, but they were too big for me, and I wanted a green statement necklace after seeing one on Carah Amelie's blog, so I got out my needle nose pliers and repurposed them. I do that now and again, and I recommend that every woman have a pair of pliers so she can do it too. Sometimes you can't get exactly what you want, so you have to exercise a little creativity. This also happened to work out well because I plan to give the longer one as a gift to a friend who loves green.
