Vintage Bohemian Style: How to Accessorize for Under $5.

Dirty. Glamour. Realness. Life in NYC., Fashion Tips

I love a good challenge.

My mission: to make a vintage accessorized look for less than $5.

This is what I found at my local thrift store’s jewelry ‘junk’ drawer:
♥ Broken Faux Pearl Necklace: 75 cents
♥ One clip-on earring (other one missing): free
♥ Bronze chain: $1.50
♥ Costume jewelry rings that don’t fit my fingers: $2.00
Total Damage: $4.25

Now let’s create a Vintage Bohemian Goddess Look – it’s as easy as 1-2-3.

Take broken necklace, drape across your head and add bobby pins to secure- instant bohemian crown. Serve up some 1920s REALNESS.

2. Take the one clip-on earring and clip to front of dress for instant vintage high glamour.

3. Take chain and string a bunch of costume jewelry rings on it. I additionally added one costume jewelry ring of my Grandma Helen’s and one costume jewelry piece that Burke gave to me.

And voila – the completed look:

Oh and PS – beyond the accessories which cost me under $5 – I snagged the vintage peach slip for $8 – bringing the entire outfit AND accessories to $12.25.

Hell yes. Mama’s got rent to pay and adventures to have. I can’t be spending all my cash on clothes. I am a hardcore thrift store junkie.
