5 Fashion Tips to Flawlessly Accessorize Any Outfit

You may know how to properly outfit your body to flatter
your best features and body type but you still might not
feel "put together" if you skip out on accessories. After
all, an outfit is just an outfit without the right
accessories! If you want to look like the chic ladies you
admire, but aren't sure where to begin, use these tips to
help you learn how to accessorize properly.

1. Jewelry Is Not the Only Accessory

Sure, jewelry is an easy way to use accessories to create
the look you want. However, it's not the only area of
accessories you should consider trying. You can completely
change the vibe of clothing by using the power of a handbag
or shoes. Think about it. If you're wearing jeans, sporting
tennis shoes and carrying a simple cloth purse, your look
will be totally casual. However, if you take those same
jeans and add fashion forward high heels and a crocodile
skin designer handbag, your look totally changes.

2. Don't Over Do it on the Accessories

The worst way to accessorize is to completely overdo it.
While the current trends encourage a multitude of bangles,
layer upon layer of necklaces and dangling earrings, it's
important to not go overboard. If you like accessorizing
with the trendy layers of jewelry, be sure you stick with
one main layering area. For example, never wear twenty
bangles along with six necklaces. Choose either the
necklaces or the bracelets and skip wearing bold jewelry
on any other area of your body while experimenting with
this specific trend. I good rule of thumb is to accessorize
all you'd like and then before going out, remove at least
one item. This will always keep you from overdoing it and
help you avoid looking trashy!

3. Inexpensive Jewelry Saves The Day � No One Will Know

While it's not everything, there is great ease in
accessorizing with jewelry. You can start with a blank
canvas, like your favorite Little Black Dress, and make it
into anything you want, by adding a trendy earring, belt or
bracelet. Lots of women hesitate to use jewelry as their
main accessories because it's so expensive. However, even
celebrities like Jennifer Lopez wear fake jewels so don't
be shy about using faux gold, silver or jewels to dress up
your outfit. Just be sure you buy higher quality faux
jewelry if you want it to last a while. The really cheap
stuff usually tarnishes quickly.

4. Use Your Jacket

Most fashion experts agree an outfit is not usually
complete without a jacket. Even in the warmest months,
they recommend you wear a jacket, sweater or scarf of some sort to complete your look. So, be brave and experiment with what looks best on you. Remember, jackets that highlight the smallest part of your waist are always a
great choice for any body type.

5. All The Fashion Extras To Try

If you're one of the ladies who like to take their style to
the next level, you might be interested in accessorizing
with a special hat or trendy glasses. Hats and glasses can
be excellent ways to bring your personality into your
attire. Just be careful if you're wearing a bold hat or
trendy glasses to allow the piece you choose to be
highlighted and never drown it out or try to allow another
accessory to compete for the attention it deserves.
