How To Reinvent Your Fashion Wardrobe With Accessories

Accessories can be powerful in reinforcing your personal fashion style and in solidifying your own stylish trademark.

Jackie Onassis and her signature sunglasses, Coco who strongly believed in Pearls to enhance a woman’s complexion, Marilyn Monroe and her sparkling accessory “Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend”. These women wore their signature accessory that became part and parcel of their personality.

Personally I consider accessories to be the Houdini in your closet. You can reinvent the look of your current wardrobe just by adding a few key pieces to refresh and enhance your personal style.

Here is a list of must have’s. Edit as you take inventory of your current accessories.

 

• Chic, comfortable shoes – you can wear day or night
• Sixteen – Eighteen inch strand of pearls (faux or real)
• Fabulous evening bag (Make A Statement)
• Scarves- (squares, narrow long, wide long rectangular, colors that complement your skin tone)
• Fashion jewelry like acrylic or beaded bangles and bracelets
• Sunglasses (Get a professional to fit the sunglasses to the shape of your face)
• Black pumps
• Nude pumps
• Metallic gold or silver heels
• Knee-high boots in black or brown
• Flats
• Casual sandals
• Diamond or cubic zirconia studs
• Dressy dangle earring
• Neutral chain bracelet
• A statement necklace
• Black patent-leather skinny belt
• Statement cocktail ring
• Cross body handbag
• Dressy watch with a leather strap or metal bracelet band

 

Accessories can highlight your best assets and minimize your worst. Adding a scarf can make last season’s outfit look current. Changing your day look for evening can be done by simply changing a casual necklace you wore to the office to a necklace that has some sparkle to it. Accessories can help keep your casual Friday at the office at a professional level, and even turn a bad hair day into a good one.

How about a challenge! Everyone of us have at least one black dress in our closet. If you don’t get one. How about wearing the same black dress to work and to special occasions for a week! The only think you get to change is your accessories appropriate to the occasion. The challenge starts on a Monday and ends on a Sunday. Looking forward to hearing about your experience.

The most important of all accessories that is an absolute must have,is your smile! It’s the fastest way to transform your look. Confidence, joy, and even a needed boost to your energy can be stimulated with the right accessory.

Be Accessory Stylish!
