Budget Buys: Soft Bracelets

It seems like we're all on a budget these days. I am trying to make my coffee at home (instead of single-handedly keeping Starbucks in business), while some are getting crafty with DIY projects, and others will go so far as to eat chicken noodle soup for two straight weeks in order to buy a new spring dress.

If you're trying to save some money this Spring but still want to update your jewelry stash it is entirely possible. Here's a tip: look for jewelry that is made out of some time of fabric, ribbon, cloth, or rope. These materials are notoriously more affordable than metals and beads, which translates into a cheaper piece overall. 

Here are some great soft bracelets that are right on trend and right on budget.
