It's All About Accessories

When it comes to styling outfits, it’s so easy to focus on just the clothes. Recently, however, I’ve discovered that it really is all about accessories. I’ve found that jewelry, hair pieces and eye wear are just as important as a cool top or pair of jeans. Accessories are the perfect way to add color, texture and dimension to a look.

Here are a few of my fav ways to accessorize at the moment

Jewelry

Lately, I’ve been really into jewelry. In the past, I completely underestimated just how much a cool ring or necklace could add to an outfit, but it really can make all of the difference. Additionally, the days of following fashion rules are over, and it’s all about mixing and matching different metals and textures... And don’t just stick to a simple silver or gold band. Pair an all black or white outfit with some colorful jewels, and you’re sure to make a statement.

Eye Wear

Eye wear can really change up the vibe or an entire outfit, so why not have some fun with it. Throw on some all black aviators for a cool girl look, or try some cat eyes for more of a fun vintage look.

Bags

Finding the perfect bag can be difficult. You want something that is both fashionable and functional, and something that can transition easily from day to night. Personally, unless I’m carrying my laptop with me, I prefer a much smaller crossbody or clutch. I tend to not bring tons with my on a day-to-day basis, and really only need something to hold my phone and wallet.

Shoes

Nothing ties an outfit together like the perfect pair of shoes. In my opinion, shoes can either make or break an outfit and depending on what you wear, can either dress it up or down. I’m obsessed with pairing a colored or printed shoe with an otherwise basic outfit in order to make more of a statement.

Hair Pieces

Hair accessories are all the rage these days. It’s all about embracing the 90’s and early 2000’s, and people are rocking hair clips and scrunchies once again. This is a super easy, affortable way to add to any outfit.

One last note… I’m aware that some of the items that I linked on this post are on the more expensive side, and that’s simply because I really do believe that accessories are one of the easiest and best ways to elevate your look. Pair a head to toe zara or h&m outfit with that one handbag or pair of shoes that you invested in to make your outfit stand out. Also, don’t underestimate consignment or thrift stores. They’re a great way to get your hands on some really unique pieces that no one else has, for just a fraction of the cost. My favorite consignment store is TheRealReal. This store features some amazing pieces for great deals, and everything on the site is personally inspected by professionals in order to ensure that it is 100% authentic.
