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.

I am not a huge accessories girl, although I am very girly. My attention is mostly on purses, wallets, and some shoes (there's no such thing as too many shoes.) My current favorite trend is the envelope clutch and I am still on the hunt for the perfect one for me.

I'm really loving the metallic spikes this season. I've always been partial to skulls though so I'm glad they are becoming a bit more mainstream.
WOW! Thanks for the tip – you are awesome!
How cute! I'm really impressed that you were able to find these steals. I've really been feeling anything leopard this Fall!

Those are some great pieces! I love the ASOS bracelet.
Love this post! I've seen the first bracelet from a few pictures on instagram before and wanted it but never knew where it was from. I would much rather pay $65 over $330 !! Thanks so much
Great post, I love looking fabulous for less!!! I nominated you for the Versatile Blogger award! 🙂
Just happened upon your blog and love it! I absolutely love this post! Sometimes I'm not sure if I can pull off edgy but if it's at the right price, I'd be willing to try! Love the Nasty Gal scarf even more than the splurge!
Hey Ashley!<br /><br />Love this post! Wish I could afford McQueen but the optins you've given are awesome!<br /><br />Love this piece! <br /><br />~ Tasha
