Boho Style on a Budget

There is a unique skill in being able to look like a page out of the glossies on spare change and creative style alone. We all have a friend that makes this skill seem effortless. They use thrift stores and clearance racks to look jealousy inducing chic. Jewelry is an underrated way to create a high-end boho look without spending a paycheck or more. With that in mind here are some boho on a budget style tips:

1. Pick a base style: Whether you lean toward Rachel Zoe's chic boho style with chunky necklaces and cuffs or Gwyneth Paltrow's more subtle layering of delicate pieces it is important to know what you like and what works on you.

2. Start with a signature piece: Add on to your style base with a key piece of jewelry that locks in your chosen look. It may be simple stud earrings or a brazen necklace. No matter which direction you chose our Jewelry Under $100 category is an excellent place to start!

3. Know where to make an impact: If you're looking to emphasize your face consider oversize hoops, if decolletage is more your focus you may want to go with our Oblong Pave Nugget that Brooklyn Decker beautifully showcased in Women's Health magazine.

4. Don't forget your closet: Every closet has buried treasure, especially when opened and rummaged through with inspired eyes. Look to emulate what you've seen, mix vintage and contemporary to create something new.

5. Strut!: Being bold with jewelry is a start but to have true flare you'll have to strut your stuff. Don't get attention, demand it! And don't be afraid to bump your comfort level a notch or two. If you're a single gold chain girl, layer on two or three additional necklaces. Add a few bracelets to your watch wrist, it won't change the time but it will change your style.
