Happy Friday, y’all! I’m excited to be back on the blog today sharing something I love shopping for: statement earrings. After bubble necklaces and huge multicolor bangles went out of style, my attention for jewelry immediately shifted to earrings. Since I usually wear the same couple watches and stackable rings, earrings is where I can add in extra pops of color. One of my most clicked on items for the blog + top topics I get questions about is where I shop for affordable jewelry. So today, I’m spilling all my secrets on when, where and how to shop for the best statement earrings on any budget

Target *20% off jewelry  & accessories – no code needed*

Target will always be a place I suggest for affordable earrings. Majority of my earrings come from their #sugarfixbybaublebar collection, which is the affordable version of Baublebar. At least once every other month, Target will have 20% off jewelry, like right now, and I will stock up on anything I’ve had my eye on. Even without the discount, I don’t think I’ve ran across earrings for more than $30 in store. Another great time to stock up is when they are offering gift card bonuses. For example, there may be a special where you spend $50 on clothes, shoes and accessories and you get a $10 gift card. If I was already going to be shopping for clothes, I’ll grab a pair of earrings I’ve been wanting then use the $10 bonus as a gift to myself for later. Or I’ll use the gift card for items I don’t like to spend my own money on such as razors, lotion, face wash and those other personal care items that quickly add up in price. Honestly, I’ll take any excuse to go to Target any time of the week.

Amazon

I’m not your average Amazon obsessed millennial, however, I’ve found that if you have two-day shipping, it’s worth it for earrings when you’re in a rush. Tons of major stores have eCommerce on Amazon that qualify for free shipping and you can have your accessories before the weekend gets here. Amazon is also great with sets, so if you have your eye on one pair of earrings, you can usually find a set of that same style of earrings in multiple colors for a low price.

New York & Company *All jewelry $5.99*

Okay guys, I feel like most people sleep on New York & Company but they are the best sales. Outside of jewelry, there are items on sale everyday and quality is comparable to LOFT and Ann Taylor. NY&Co also has celebrity lines with Gabrielle Union and Eva Mendes, which makes me want to shop there even more. Regardless, their jewelry is some of the best I’ve seen and is only for $5.99 several times a month. As I mentioned with Target, it’s hard for me to buy jewelry full price knowing it will be on sale soon, so I add the statement earrings I want to my cart, wait a few days, then check-out when they are $5.99. Other times they will have earrings Buy 1, Get 2 free which is another amazing deal! All of the earrings I’ve purchased from them are still in great shape and can be recycled season through season.

Baublebar *20% off 1: SUMMER20, 25% off 2: SUMMER25, 30% off 3 or more: SUMMER30*

Alright friends, since Baublebar has an affordable line at Target, I’m usually less tempted to shop directly at Baublebar. However, I’ve found that their sale section is always full of in season pretties at a fraction of the price. One of the best times to shop is during the holidays. Baublebar always stocks amazing gift sets where you can get multiple pair of earrings at least 40% off. Last year I noticed they started selling sets that were interchangeable. You would get 8 pair of tassel earrings but could change the tassels out to different color combinations and different lengths. This is perfect if you love one style of earrings but like to change it up and don’t want to spend a ton. Right now, Baublebar has their summer sale going on. You can 20% off 1 item with code SUMMER20; 25% off 2 items with code SUMMER25; and 30% off 3 or more items with code SUMMER30. If you’ve been loving any of their new summer designs, this is the perfect time to stock up. Right after Christmas is another amazing time to stock up on discounted gift sets and holiday jewels for the following year.

Nordstrom Rack

Last but not least, Nordstrom Rack. This is another store I feel like most people sleep on. I love Nordstrom Rack for so many reasons but if you love brands such as Kendra Scott and Baublebar (just another way to get BB at a discount), you need to start shopping Nordstrom Rack. Not only do they have all the brands you love in stock, they are priced at a deep discount and coupons usually apply to the sale price. Every quarter or so, Nordstrom Rack has their Clear The Rack sale where everything on clearance is an additional 25% off! This is when I stock up on summer and winter clothes off season and buy jewelry gifts for people. Nordstrom Rack is my first stop when I want a new pair of label earrings since I have great luck there. Currently, they have tons of cute options from Anthropologie, Panacea, Gorjana & Kate Spade.

Okay friends, I think that’s enough earring talk for now! I hope this was super helpful as we are refreshing our wardrobes for spring and summer vacations, as well as buying all those graduations and celebration gifts. I’ve linked all my earrings in the pictures above and my favorites from each store mentioned. If you pick up a pair, I would love to see!
