I wrote this from the only perspective I know - which is my own, and clearly with disregard for the many people who are struggling on a daily basis to make ends meet. Despite overlooking them in this post, I can assure you I am indeed not a shallow human being. I care very much for others, donate my time when I can, and do not judge people on their worldly possessions or status. I'm sorry that this post paints a picture of a very different person than who I am - and thanks for bringing it to my attention.Jennifer Opsahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470632120877499280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057460605407101148.post-3312006688893960642014-03-01T08:27:21.599-08:002014-03-01T08:27:21.599-08:00There are millions of people who shop at the dolla...There are millions of people who shop at the dollar store for food, clothing, and toiletries...its all they can afford.

Most of my jewelry is incredibly inexpensive costume jewelry - what I was trying to convey was that dollar store jewelry would supplement my other jewelry, not replace it. I have no qualms about sporting jewelry from Target, Walmart, or the dollar store, but I do like to have nice pieces (and by nice, I mean, Stella and Dot, not diamonds and platinum), to mix in with it. In regards to production, I'm guessing the cheap jewelry at the dollar store is made in China and probably produced in developing areas of that country in sub par conditions - but unfortunately that's probably the case for most things we buy.Jennifer Opsahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470632120877499280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057460605407101148.post-4486771892690871992013-11-16T09:57:44.526-08:002013-11-16T09:57:44.526-08:00"Will this replace quality statement pieces i..."Will this replace quality statement pieces in my jewelry box? Heck no! But hopefully will help beef up my arm party a bit!" Wow, only a privileged white woman would worry about people judging her for not having precious metal on at all times.

Love it! And of course, I love your love for the dollar store. As a closet dollar store shopper myself, I was outed when I did a whole series on what not to buy at the dollar store (and a few things to pick up). Now everyone I know in person who reads my blog things I'm an expert dollar store gal. I've even had requests for me to shop at the dollar store and buy things for them! Great finds. Sometimes I lack the vision after awhile.
