27 Feb How to {Cheaply} Store Accessories

Accessories are every girl’s BFF. They’re the easiest way to dress up an outfit but it can also be tricky when it comes to storing them, especially if you have loads of baubles. Necklaces can get tangled, earrings can get misplaced and your collection can start looking a bit cluttered and messy. Tons of jewelry storage solutions are on the market but some can be kinda expensive. I have my eye on the Gold & Silver Safekeeper Mirrored Jewelry Cabinet by QVC but it’s almost $200. Yikes!

Instead, I’ve found a cheap, fun way that lets me display my jewels.

I moved in to a new place and the woman I’m subletting from left her bookcase behind. Instead of loading it up with my fave titles, I’ve used it for my jewels. I love how it has a bit of a boutique feel with everything so easily accessible.

I use velvet trays I scored from my former job to house some necklaces, earrings and bracelets.

The sides of the bookshelf are perfect for additional necklaces…

And smaller bangles are attached to an old shower hook and then looped on the bookshelf.

I bought this ceramic mannequin head for a few bucks and she’s the perfect diva to wear my faux gold chains, sunglasses and vintage topper.

My next shelf is for my chrome makeup case, nail polish and perfume. My turquoise plates for sparkly polish, brooches and rings were just 50 cents each from Goodwill.

And the bottom shelf is for some of my clutches and small bags!

So until I can afford the $200 storage solution, I’ll stick with my affordable, yet fly accessories corner. There are countless ways to organize accessories, using whatever you have hanging around the house to 99 cent store finds. You just have to get creative!
