Accessories Is a Necessity


 Accessories Are a Necessity


Creating style takes a lot more effort than just putting on clothes. Whether it's high or low-end designer brands, fast fashion or thrifted finds. Your Outfit of the day needs that extra pizzaz to get that complete well put together look. This is where accessories come into play. That chunky bangle, or that brooch attached to a blazer, coat or even that favorite scarf you love so much will turn an intentional piece into an exceptional one. Topping your outfit off with a hat can say a lot about your style.


Rings things and those necklaces that cling. Adding jewelry to complete your attire can take an understated piece of clothing and turn it into a look that came off the Paris runway. And don't worry it doesn't have to be expensive diamonds and pearls, although they can be. By visiting your favorite department or thrift store and buying a piece or two of jewelry, it will awaken you to a new surprise your wardrobe will thank you for. 









Accessories are not limited to jewelry. Adding a scarf, belt or hat can create an entirely different look to what you could have imagined.  For instance, instead of using a scarf to wrap around your neck, why not add it to your hair, a blouse or around your handbag. Maybe even wear it as a blouse.

BELTS 







Accessorize with a belt cinched at the waist, used as an accent piece over a blouse, or just to hold those fancy pants in place. Belts can be use and add special attention to details when styling. 

                                        Hats Perhaps





Headwear is not only popular but trendy. Even if you are not a trendy person. Hats are a very important piece that should be included in your wardrobe. Headwear shows a sense of confidence and attitude. Finding the right hat that will compliment your personality can be a bit challenging but once you begin trying on different styles, picking the one you are most comfortable with will definitely bring out your personality.


So, the next time you choose that OOTD from your closet, don't look at it as just putting something on, take it up a notch, accessorize and realize your appearance is a statement of the day.

Vintage gown with Designer Vibes

      Vintage Gown with Designer Vibes This vintage piece caught my eye immediately when I spotted it hanging from the rack. It was mixed in the summer dress section. The hardware has this Versace vibe and a  deep thigh split. It made me a little apprehensive but I figured I could close up the split to my comfortability. No way was I going to leave it. Besides it was half off $7.99. YES!!!Someone must have eyed it from the formal wear section and later decided they did not want it. I decided to take a chance and purchase it without even trying it on. It just looked like it would fit. Got it home and it fit like a glove. Even the split was ok without having to alter it. Oh well it was just meant for me. I wonder if the person who first spotted it later had non purchase remorse.

How Do You Use Your Imagination With Accessory Pieces?

I'm always curious when I go thrifting, how to use a piece I purchase and turn it into a not just one way to wear item. If I purchase a blouse how many ways can it be worn other than the basic way? On or off the shoulder, worn in the front or in the back. When purchasing a scarf I can wear it around my neck, maybe on my head perhaps even as a top. I'll spot a vintage chunky belt, it would be cool to wear as a necklace. The other day I found this sequined skirt that was longer than I would normally wear. Thought about cutting it  but it would take away from its unique hem and design. Fortunately the waist was elasticized so I was able to pull it up toward my chest and wear it as a dress. Turned out AWESOME. So I challenge you the next time you are ready to spend your coins wherever you shop, think of way to stretch those dollars. Not only that by using your imagination you'll; find yourself wearing pieces in a way that will add dimension to your wardrobe.
