Turquoise Bead and Feather Statement Neckace (Sistersofsummer on Etsy, $20.00)

Add a few bangles and some dream catcher earrings and you’ll have people saying, “Wow, Vicki, I’m not sure that’s okay,” instead of the more boring, “How was your weekend?” that you usually get. Keep it up, you conversation starter!
