Accessories

Let your accessories breathe new life into your existing wardrobe! It's amazing how accessories can make the same outfit look completely different. The best part is that a new outfit can be born with simple accessories!

The accessories I'll be talking about are probably things you already own, so I thought I would share a few new ways you could wear them to spice up your wardrobe! First up, belts!

BELTS

It is an unwritten rule that an outfit looks best when a belt and bag compliment each other. Changing up these too will instantly change your look, especially if they are bold in color and design. A few different ways you could wear your belt - wear 2-3 belts at the same time, wear them over blazers, swap your coat belt for a leather one, tie them differently or go bold and big!

HATS

Hats are amazing, but sadly I don't see them worn very often. When you're wearing the right hat, you'll definitely get the right kind of attention. Apart from adding some mystery, they can be super stylish. A great hair cut helps too!

SCARVES

Need I say more! Scarves are the most popular accessory. It's the most versatile and most impactful. There is a scarf for every reason and season, I always say. The awesome thing about scarves is that it's always one size fits all and they can be styled in every way imaginable. Try put a leather cuff on your scarf, wear a belt over it, use it as a belt,or try a different style around your neck!

STOCKINGS

Instead of wearing black or nude stockings, try patterned or colored stockings. I personally own too many to count, checkered, hounds tooth and leopard print, just to list a few! They might sound crazy but they compliment a little black dress perfectly. There's so many options, you're bound to find a pair that suits your style!

JEWELLERY

Last, but absolutely not least, jewellery! An eye catching necklace elevates any outfit. Wearing a plain white or black t-shirt with a bold chunky necklace, a black blazer, skinny jeans, pumps and large tote bag is a classic outfit that never dates. If chunky and bold aren't your style, layering dainty necklaces with a simple design is also very stylish. When layering jewelry, be it necklaces, bracelets or rings, be sure to keep the pieces complimentary in design and color. Here are few that I love!

Of course all of these accessories I mentioned can be worn together, but remember not to over do it and stick to one accessory being the stand out piece e.g. if you're wearing a bold hat or printed stockings, remember to keep the rest of your outfit simple.

Happy accessorising!
