Look pretty in vintage at great modern prices
I've seen 1928 Jewelry (and its 2028 counterpart) at area Macy's and JCPenney department stores and loved the look. This week, an enterprising friend discovered those lines have their own Web site where you can peruse and purchase from a much wider selection than what's typically offered in stores. Brilliant!
The vintage designs were too delicious not to share. And the prices? They have me licking my lips for an accessories shopping spree.
A couple of my faves include this necklace, this brooch and these earrings.
Have a favorite decade from the last century? The site allows you to choose baubles from the 1900s to the 1980s. Like butterflies and insects? They've got those designs, too. Want to splurge on a red carpet look? Try on this beauty for size.

Kameel Stanley has never encountered a thrift store she didn’t like. Her
mother taught her that the true value of clothes isn’t how much they cost,
but how many outfits one can create from them. Having grown up in Michigan,
she was delighted to learn upon moving to Florida that she almost never
needed to wear socks or boots again. There’s a lot of turnover in her
closet, and she’s obsessed with dresses, necklaces and wedge heels. She can
be reached at (727) 893-8643 or kstanley@tampabay.com.
