We spend hours every single day trying to figure out the perfect outfit for an evening out or piecing together the perfect work look. Adding accessories can glam up an outfit and drive it into overkill in the same breath. When accessorizing any look you, you definitely don’t want to overdo it and risk looking like a fashion disaster. The key is to layer different accessories together without putting too many on.
The Clutch
If you’re headed out for a night, the clutch is a perfect go to option. A clutch automatically says 'evening'. A small clutch is perfect for dancing the night away when lip gloss and a cell phone are the only things you plan on bringing. Never match your dress and your clutch exactly. Mix in a bit of metallic or a geometric pattern.
The Shoe
Finish off your look then with the perfect pump, boot or wedge. Always go for a shoe that will amp up your outfit while still putting the final finishing touches on it.
The Necklace
My go to option is always jewellery whether it’s earrings, a necklace or even chunky bangles. If you’re going the plan Jane route a statement necklace is a great added touch to glam up a plain T and jeans. Keeping pieces of jewellery in your wardrobe ensures that accessorizing will not be a problem and you definitely don’t have to splurge. Forever 21 and other stores are great places to find costume jewellery that is on trend and looks great. If you’re opting for a more expensive staple piece Anthropologie always has quirky and unique pieces that are sure to wow any fellow fashionista.
The Headband
If Lady Gaga can do it then why can’t we? Let’s face it our hair is something that can use a little change-up every now and then and if were following in Gaga’s footsteps spice is what we’ll get. Glam up your look with a statement hair piece which are all the rage in the fashion world lately and add so much to a classic do. Feathers, headbands with bling and even a cute hairpin with some jewels really add that extra pop against your silky locks. Add a simple headband to update a boring pony or pull your hair back into a chic chignon with some added bling—you’re locks with thank you!
