Accessorizing.

Here goes my attempt at sharing my fashion advice to all of you. Although it is limited, I think there is some! This is also just my personal opinion, I don't think everyone should follow these rules! Fashion is a wonderful way to express your creativity, so feel free to disagree and break these rules! I don't doubt you'll look wonderful. So here we go! 

Accessories can be key to a fabulous outfit, or they can be the downfall to one. I think it's important to distinguish the proper times to go all out on accessorizing and the proper times to stick with just a pair of stud earrings. Every time you wear something (unless it's like, hobo day for you, which happens quite often for me..)  I think there should be a harmonious balance. It's pretty simple, really. If you wear a crazy patterned shirt or dress I'd play it cool with any added bling. If you are wearing a simple top or dress, you have the freedom to let the accessories shine. Think of it as a scale, and try make sure the accessories and the shirt style are always the "same weight" if you know what I mean.  Here's an example:


Here is something I love to mix, if appropriate: brown and black. I love the top in this outfit, and the brown boots provide great contrast and 'zing factor'. Hehe. Since this outfit is pretty simple in color and pattern, I'd deem it necessary to add a little bling. Not too crazy since this look is rather sleek and what not, but just enough! I thought the earrings would look good, as would the necklace. I'm not so sure I would suggest wearing them together since I'm not a fan of statement necklaces and earrings being together with the same outfit. A scarf would also boost the pizazz for this look! Lipstick would look absolutely glamorous for this outfit, since we have black and white going. So, there's my definition of a balanced outfit!

Let's look at this dress combo:


Vintage


Oooh, lace! I'm loving this dress, so very much. I'd definitely pair it with basic pearls, but that's just me. I think either of these shoes would look lovely with this outfit, and would put forward two different looks. This combo is definitely labeled under my "Attire of Desire" category. Mmmm mmm mm. 

Well, there ya have it! I hope you enjoyed. Be sure and stay tuned for a new post coming up that should be pretty funny. I'm gonna keep you guessing until then. Have a lovely day!
