Sensible Style

Thrifty Trinkets

Every few months, the top fashion magazines come out with an accessories report telling readers where to get the most coveted jewels of the season. In these few pages, you are informed how to wear them, what to wear them with and where to wear them.

What they fail to realize is that not everyone who purchases a magazine at $3 can afford what is inside. Even Lucky, a magazine claiming to show the latest trends found at the most reasonable prices, can be a bit on the pricey side.

This season ‘s trend reports show a variety of different looks. Trinkets from pretty to punky, and anything with chains are in style.

In this month‘s Sensible Style, I have gone out and done the price comparing for you. From department store to thrift store, you will be amazed at where I found these gems.

Fall ‘s must-have jewels no longer have to be objects of your desire; they can be accessories you acquire.
