Upscaling the Downscale: Jewelry on Display.

If there's one thing I've learned from my hours upon hours of Cupcake Wars marathons,

it's that 

 

 

presentation is everything. 

(and when it comes to the mystery ingredients, it's best to avoid meat-based products)

I may not be able to afford jewelry that costs me a fortune (you may or may not remember my 25 cent luxury purchase), but I can definitely still show it off as if it did. 

True, my meager Pocahontas-inspired arrays of jewelry pale in comparison to those of bloggers like Gaby from the blog Collections, or Annie of Live Simply, 

but I can elevate it one step from the vending machine from whence it came. 

I think that there's something to be said for working with watchu got, 

and I'd say that's a good motto for my style as a whole. 

If athletic talent were money and heart was futile attempts at grandeur,

I'd be the little chubby kid from any inspiring sports movie ever made, 

So cheers to fake branches and repurposed incense-burners.
