I love to window shop - online or at a store. It's just as fun to window shop for things that are in my budget as well as out of my budget. I've never shied away from buying something and reconstructing it. It's amazing what a pair of scissors and a needle and thread can do. It has the ability to alter a new piece of clothing or revamp something old. I've been doing this for years, altering everything from prom dresses to a blouse that needed a little face lift.
I'm a BIG online shopper. There's something so exciting about being able to click a button, place my order and have it at my doorstep a few days later. I love the convenience, the anticipation and the thrill of it all. I don't buy too much jewelry anymore (now that I make my own) but I love doing some online window shopping to get inspired. I love looking at expensive pieces and remaking it (with my own spin on it), but for a much friendlier price.
Below is my latest findings from shopbop.com. These delicate gold cylindrical shapes keep showing up, and I can't help but love them and think to myself, "I can make something similar and for less then half the price."
Kristen Elspeth: Arc Necklace Original Price: $146.00
Jennifer Zeuner: Horizontal Bar Bracelet: $165
Kora: Horizontal Rothko Necklace $172
These cylinders are so delicate and beautiful but have a stand-out quality to them that I just love.
Below are my creations - a little more budget friendly accompanied by a lot less buyers remorse.
