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.

Recreating A Look

                 Ever wonder why some people seem to just know how to dress? It appears every time you see them, their outfit for the day is on point. It seems effortless. Well, I have news for you. Even the savviest of fashionistas tend to struggle every now and then trying to find that look they will not only be satisfied with but making a statement where others will notice them. Everyone needs to be inspired. The same as when a writer gets writers block, or an artist just can't place their vision on campus or in music, whatever their muse is, they rely on people places or things for motivation and to get the creative juices flowing. Whenever I get the styling block, I refer to various social media outlets to get inspiration for my next stepping out gear. My number one favorite is Pinterest. But before I start viewing through all the model pics, I have to decide what mood is going to determine the style I wish to achieve.      It could be Edgy, Trendy, Conservative or Classic Chi

My Thrifted Handbag Collection

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.
