I recently learned about Accessorize. I hadn’t even known that there was or were Accessorize shops in Japan as well until my friend mentioned it! Where was I? I love Accessorize now. It has so many beautiful and pretty design jewelry that I would love to wear.
I have wanted to have statement necklaces for a while. Something that accessorizes plain outfits. I live in a hot climate and layering is not an option for me even with a scarf any more. Thus, jewelry plays an important role to express individuality in fashion.
I went to Accessorize and looked at their prices and simply could not justify to buy their jewelry. Many women of my age probably spend more on jewelry, so for them they are not at all expensive. Since manage to find the same quality jewelry for less in the U.S., I had a difficult time convincing myself. Another thing is that usually imported goods are taxed and thus more expensive than in the original country in India. It’s the same in Japan, too. So, one day I went online and checked the prices in the country of its origin, England. To my surprise, I learned that the prices at Accessorize in India were not much different or about the same in England.
Then Accessorize has had Buy 2 Get 1 Free promotion recently. I went to one Accessorize shop for 4 different times. FOUR TIMES! Finally at the 4th time, I told myself “come on. I’ve been here 4 times. I still think about them all the time and they are having a promotion. Just get them!” Getting 3 jewelry was cheaper than buying 3 new outfits and these necklaces could give fresh looks to my old outfits I’ve worn many times.
I have been eyeing on these three items.
Guess what?
They are mine now.
I felt guilty to buy something I ‘wanted’ and didn’t ‘need’. They, however, made me happy.
Sometimes you need a little reward or treat for yourself to stay upbeat and happy.
I do for sure.
