Accessorizing Do’s
Do choose accessories that will enhance your outfit. Look at your outfit’s colors, feel, and texture when choosing appropriate accessories. Work to find accessories that will successfully benefit a variety of wardrobes to stretch your budget and the items available to you.
Do strive to follow current trends when accessorizing your wardrobe. Fashionistas everywhere follow the fashion magazines to see exactly what is considered in and what is totally out when it comes to accessories. Gone are the days of leg warmers, so strive to say current with your accessory options and buy items that are with today’s hottest trends.
Do strive to have that one signature piece that accessorizes your outfit. Many individuals work around a particular piece or a theme when it comes to accessorizing their outfits. For example, look to include a silk scarf in all your outfits or make your signature piece a stunning brooch or necklace that can easily be added to any wardrobe.
Accessorizing Don’ts
Don’t choose an accessory that overpowers your outfit. Remember, it is called an accessory because you use it to work with your wardrobe, not completely overshadow you or your clothing. Avoid large, flashy, or brightly colored items that can take the focus away from you.
Don’t wear every current trend at once. Although it is important to stay up to date with today’s hottest trends, a do can quickly become a don’t when worn together at once.
Don’t choose the same, expected pieces each time. If your signature look includes a particular accessory, look to incorporate it in unique ways with each outfit. Turn your signature scarf into a head wrap or tie it to your handbag. Place your signature brooch on unique items, like a belt or fasten it to your back pocket. Work to keep your signature item fresh and innovative.
