The fashion scene in Austin is bigger than one might think. There is a fairly large community of independent boutique owners, designers and all-around fashionistas. I’ve been seeing more than a few jewelry trends that have me thinking “That is so cool! But I could never pull that off. I’m just not daring enough.” I think that’s what fashion really boils down to… being daring enough to just do it.

More often than not, if I take the risk and wear something that is a little out of my comfort zone I get a lot of compliments. It’s all about confidence. Wear whatever you want, just do it in a way that shows you’re comfortable with who you are, no matter what you have on. I should take my own advice more often.

Here are 5 bizarre pieces of jewelry that a future, more confident me would wear proudly.
