At our blog Fabulous After 40, we’re always talking about ways to update your wardrobe on a budget.  The easiest way to do this is by relying on a core wardrobe of basics that fit and feel great, and then to add inexpensive accessories to give personality to your outfits and modernize your look.  In this day and age, it can be so difficult to find places to shop that will guarantee you stylish pieces at a low cost.  That’s why we were thrilled to find Beautiful Jewelry for You!  The jewelry, much of which is inspired by upscale jewelry designers, is all priced at under $20!  Many of the styles are bold and eye-catching to really liven up an otherwise dull outfit.  Take the bracelet above , for example - if you always wear black from head to toe, this would be a fantastic way to add a little “bling” in the form of silver and gold.  At such an affordable price point, you’ll want to stock up on tons of fun bracelets, necklaces and earrings!

When it comes to dressing age-appropriately after 40, our best advice is to focus on great quality staple pieces, but pop it with up-to-date, fun accessories. That’s why we love these earrings from ICE.com. ICE has some great deals on really high-end jewelry. We picked these earrings out because they are a neutral color (smoky brown topaz), so they can go with anything you wear, but they will definitely add a little glitz to an every-day outfit.  They’re glitter without being “girly!” Costume jewelry is fun, but treat yourself to some really nice pieces every so often — or if you really can’t justify it, ask for them as a gift!  You’ll find that once you have beautiful jewelry, you will find reasons to wear it!
