Accessories & You

Accessories, accessories….Oh, where to begin! There are so many different colors, styles and price ranges out there that the hardest part about all of those lovely earrings, necklaces and bracelets is “which ones shall I wear today?” How many bracelets…. one…. or maybe five?

No need to worry. There will be plenty of outfits to accessorize in a lifetime and remember, you can always create a whole new outfit just by utilizing a different set of accessories.

Dress up that black dress with some long ruby red earrings, maybe a bracelet set of some silver and ruby red bangles. For the shoes, a pair of red patent leather peep toed heels. Use a red patent leather purse to tie the look together. Wear the same black dress with a different color of accessories and it becomes a whole new outfit!

Now let’s not forget about the purse. This versatile item can hold your much needed makeup, phone, keys, etc. and it can help to liven’ up an ensemble by being your spark of color. It could also compliment your outfit with well balanced color by matching with your other accessories.

A pair of some azurite malachite (blue semi precious stone with splashes of green) chandelier earrings can be used to compliment a light green dress. Then wear some green pumps to bring out the green color in the earrings. For the final touch, add a straw or basket weave style purse. If you add a scarf that has blue or green tied around the handle, it gives your purse that personal touch. Isn’t it amazing how the right purse can really pull together an outfit?

You can give any outfit that much more of a “you” factor with the right accessories. That doesn’t always mean you have to wear the earrings, bracelet and necklace set with every outfit. Sometimes all you need is the right pair of shoes to complete a look.

An accessory can be anything from a bright green trench coat to go with that black and white outfit to a strategically placed scarf to give your purse that special touch of “you”. Give all kinds of sizes, colors and styles of jewelry and all accessories a try. You may find that long thin earrings highlight your neckline in just the right way or that a deep red fits your skin color better than a light red.

Accessories are what can make an outfit uniquely you. There are a variety of accessories available at a reasonable price, so have fun adding the “you” factor to your next outfit.
