i've always been really bad at buying jewelry for myself because i've never been able to find pieces that are long-lasting but inexpensive. i have a hard time spending a lot of money on jewelry for myself so i end up buying cheapo jewelry that looks nice but falls apart in about a week. during one of my weekly jaunts to banana republic, i found myself standing in front of their jewelry counter and ended up buying a pair of earrings and a ring. i will admit that the only reason i bought anything at all is because they were having a sale but that's beside the point! i have gotten so many compliments on the two pieces i bought and i think that they really do look glamorous and expensive even though they weren't. lesson learned: don't be afraid to spend a little money on yourself because you deserve it (and by the way, banana's jewelry isn't even that expensive...i'm just that cheap).
