Make a Statement A statement necklace adds ‘oomph’ to a simple outfit. For instance, pairing a little black dress or basic jeans and a t-shirt with a big, chunky statement necklace gives you a fresh new look made for a night out on the town. Look for necklaces with lots of layers, embellishments and colours. Another plus is that it changes the appearance of your go-to dress or jeans so that they look different and new whenever you pair them with a different necklace. Translation: wear your dress over and over again with a different necklace and no one will ever know!
Happy Hour Want to dazzle and shine without spending a fortune on a new dress for a special occasion? Look no further than a dramatic cocktail ring. These ever-so-trendy rings are the perfect way to dress up any outfit and turn some heads. Named for their flashy design worn at cocktail parties, these rings will add glamour to any outfit. Wear one during the day with jeans and a t-shirt to add an unexpected touch of sparkle to a basic outfit. The result? Tres chic.
Think Silk My personal belief is that a good scarf can make an outfit. When was the last time you saw someone wearing dark jeans, a plain top and a bright silk scarf and didn’t think to yourself “Wow, they look great!” Never, that’s when. Investing in a beautiful scarf, like the skull-printed Alexander McQueen scarves made famous by celebrity clientele, will change your wardrobe and dare I say it, your life. Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating, but you will always look fabulous and stylish. Need I say more?
Best Foot Forward Over the past few years, I have come to the realization that heels are crucial to my existence. It will never cease to impress me how one pair of shoes has the power to not only make you look better, but make you feel better too. Your legs and butt look more toned, you stand up straighter, and honestly, a good pair of heels is just pretty to look at. However, you don’t need to go on an excessive shopping spree and fill up your closet with shoes (I seem to constantly choose to, but that’s beside the point).
Every woman should own 3 pairs of heels: black, red, and nude. All those other pairs are just fabulous extras. A black pair of pumps is just plain necessary. They are endlessly versatile and can be worn time and time again and no one’s the wiser. Red heels are beautiful and if you’re looking to make heads turn when you walk into a room, there is no better way to do so. Throw on some red lipstick to match and you will never look back. Finally, ultra trendy nude heels are a staple in every woman’s wardrobe because they literally look good with EVERY outfit. Oh and did I mention they make your legs look miles long?
Pick up these items and you will never again be caught staring into your closet on a Saturday night complaining that you have nothing to wear. Use these tips to pull any outfit together with fabulous accessories and your new, effortlessly trendy style will be the envy of all your friends. Stop wasting your time planning out your look and more time showing it off.
