I usually wait until accessories are on sale at Aldo because they’re famous for they’re BOGO sales. I like cuff bracelets as they make a pretty bold statement. Though I usually go for more vintage-inspired styles, the Aldo Oricola Cuff Bracelet works for me. I know I said I wasn’t going to do any personal shopping until all of my Christmas shopping was done, but, it’s only $15. I’ll just cook one night over the weekend rather than eat out and I’ll be even.
