Do you want to a quick and easy way to expand your wardrobe without spending a lot of money? Well, dig out all of your fashion accessories and start putting it to good use. You heard me right. All those handbags, shoes, jewelry and "stuff" you have crammed into your wardrobe and drawers can be put into very good use into transforming your wardrobe styling - as long as you know how to use them correctly.
Unfortunately, most women don't know how to accessorize creatively. They buy accessories for specific outfits and never wear them with anything else. Or they buy one thing, like a wristwatch or earrings and wear it with everything, everyday. Some are so devoted to following fashion trends that they tend not to be aware of the impact certain pieces of accessory has on their overall appearance and image. Well, today i will try my best to address this and have all you looking your most stylish self.
Accessories present a whole world of opportunity, fun and creativity when used correctly, from pulling together unrelated pieces to transforming an outfit in a moment's notice. You can use to them to look more elegant, slimmer, brighter, richer, or whatever and you don't have to spend a fortune to achieve that. In fact, once you understand how to accessorize correctly and start putting these little pieces to work for you, you will spend less and do more with the pieces you already have in your possession. You will create your own distinct style by doing so.
I will use a very simple illustration that we all can relate to. The basic black dress. Every lady must possess a black dress that can work for both day and night functions. The black dress will forever remain chic, timeless and elegant.
The key pieces you will need to make your black dress stand out are brooches, beautiful belts, quality scarves, selection of glamorous shoes and handbags/purses, assortment of jewelry including cocktail rings and beautifully applied makeup.
For a pop of colour, drape a beautiful scarf around your shoulders. Also add a classic brooch for a touch of class or sparkle. You can scrimp on the cost of your dress but please spend on the finest handbags and shoes you can afford. Have them in various hues of colour to suit your complexion and styling taste. Pearls are a ladies best friend so please buy yourself a strand or two or three. Nothing says glamour than a luxurious strands of pearls. Add signature evening accessories for special occasions. When dressing up for an evening event, metallic strappy shoes, diamond encrusted bangles and sequinced clutches are small touches that will convert the little black dress from day to evening quickly. Use dramatic makeup to add additional colour to this wardrobe classic. Don't ignore lips, eyes, fingernails and toenails when accessorizing the little black dress. Makeup, when applied correctly, is the ultimate accessory for the fashionable women wearing the little black dress.
The most important thing to remember is that you are the one rocking the dress and the style and not the otherway around. Invest in quality underwear and shapewear to give you a beautiful silhouette.
