Mirrored Jewelry Cabinet 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.

So Excessive rings

A few weeks ago the folks over at So Excessive contacted me about hosting a giveaway. I had never heard of the company so I checked out the website and was immediately obsessed with the accessories, especially the bangles {$32 each}. I'm a huge fan of statement making jewelry without a hefty price tag attached. These pieces definitely get the Looking Fly on a Dime stamp of approval.

We all know accessories are a girl's best friends. But we also know it can be pricey stocking up on new accessories season after season. Luckily, there are some pieces that are always "in." Buy 'em once and you're good to go. They never go out of style and can be paired with anything in your closet.

Classic pieces are worth splurging on but if your funds are a bit low, check out the options below, they're all under $50.

Aviators: A great pair of sunnies is a must once the sun starts shining. While other sunglasses will equally protect your peepers, aviators were just as hot in the 70s as they are now. Even better, they flatter all face shapes.

Ah, Target. I went there to pick up contact lens solution but I had to make a quick dip in to the clothing and accessories sections...and I'm so glad I did. I found a a lot of crave-worthy sale and clearance items.

A ton of the Go International pieces were on clearance. So if you're in the market for a flirty sheer or lace dress, now is the time to hit Target up. You can rock them now with a cardigan and all the way through summer.Directly across from the dresses, was a rack full of floppy hats. Perfect for protecting your face and pretty tresses from the intense sun. And better yet, they were all just $12.99.

I’m a sucker for bright, bold accessories so I was delighted when the owner of My Roommates Kloset contacted me about checking out some of their pieces.Started in 2009 by Quenesha Lennon, the accessories currently range from $1-$4. Yup, they cost less than your daily latte. “I constantly found myself looking for sassy, reasonably priced earrings and accessories to compliment the look I was trying to achieve,” says Lennon. “ Trends change and I thought it was important to have items that would keep me up to date but not break the bank.And as for the name, My Roommates Kloset, “I got the name from a roommate that I had in college. She and I were always borrowing each other’s clothes and accessories. When people would ask us where we got it from, we would say “my roomamte’s closet," as if it were some sort of chic boutique.” So cute!I received a few pieces from My Roommates Kloset and I absolutely loved some of them and I was kinda "eh" about others. Here’s what I thought:
