1. Add Accessories

Accessories really make a difference to your outfit.

They take it from plain to interesting.
They add personality.
They add excitement.

You want to wear them. Don’t be scared, nobody died from accessorizing. In fact, what most people discover is that when they accessorize more, they get more compliments.

They don’t need to be expensive. There is so much great costume jewellery available now. Just avoid the stuff that looks really cheap. From wood to glass, from metals to leather there are so many different materials that you can make jewellery from. Check out my handy guide on choosing necklaces for your neckline.

How about a scarf? There are so many ways to tie them. Wear it as a belt, around your head or around your neck.

Belts are another accessory – they can be coloured or neutral, wide or narrow, have a feature buckle or a discreet one.

That black and white bolero is gorgeous. I am wondering if I can play with some little lace shawls I forgot I owned in a similar fashion. Love that hero piece! Thanks for the inspiration 🙂

I think my favorite is “Wear a Hero!” Well, for one that outfit just is amazing. The top is so cool. Plus, I love just highlighting really cool art/pictures/graphic tees. Sometimes I feel when our clothing says something it must be important. When our clothing says something it’s saying something about ourselves. I’m getting overly philosophical, but it’s just my two bits. Maybe that’s why I love graphic tees so much. Hahah, I don’t know.

Imogen, thanks so much for linking up to my Style Story Link Up. It’s a pleasure to meet you here. I’ll be back!

Love,

Ann from Kremb de la Kremb

  Thanks so much Ann – I love that Picasso piece – I found it in a consignment store – it’s vintage and so unique. So what does it say about me?
