Looking for a cheap alternative to bedazzling? The Giles Fall 2010 line, which included paperclips, safety pins and other unconventional widgets, fastened unto a beautiful satin dress is truly an interesting find.
Perhaps people are bored with the conventional diamonds, studs and feather embellishments or maybe office supplies are the poor men's embellishments. Either way, this recession proof option is also environmentally friendly.
Implications - Although consumers are trying their best to protect their hard-earned money, there is still a desire to look sharply dressed.
