splurge vs steal {edgy accessories}
I am a girly girl through and through. My closet is mostly pink, poofy, or sequined, and I definitely consider glitter to be a neutral. I blame it on my Southern belle upbringing and my ballerina past. But to be honest…I’ve really been wanting to invest in a few edgy pieces lately. There’s something that I love about mixing super feminine pieces with something a little bit rock and roll. While I think that I love this trend, I know that in the end I’ll return to my tutu-esque dresses and bows. With this knowledge, I’ve found a few pieces that will let me buy a few trendy items without breaking the bank.
