ALL IN THE DETAILS: Quirky Little Accessories

This one’s for the girls who love a unique handbag that no one else has. Those girls who won’t settle for an uncomfortable pair of shoes simply because they follow a trend. Those girls whose styles everyone secretly envies, even though the rest of us may be too scared to try.

This Fashionista shows us exactly what style personality is about by pairing unique pieces with classic basics. Blush is the perfect color for fall and she styles it well by wearing a blush turtleneck with a white midi skirt (that no white after Labor Day rule is so irrelevant now).  She ties the outfit together with neutral but exciting accessories. A floppy black hat like hers in the perfect way to carry your summer tan into autumn. Tan suede or leather boots can make any look feel a little more masculine and are a practical but stylish statement.

This Fashionista’s handbag is what really ties her look together. The black fuzzy bag with gold details matches her hat, complements the sweater and skirt and makes a bold statement all at the same time. This is what Rachel Zoe means when she says bold accessories are a woman’s armor.

Want to try out unique accessories without feeling too out-of-place? Try finding one accessory at a time, like a faux fur clutch or a statement necklace. Turn this Fashionista’s look into a dressy evening outfit by switching the boots for your favorite pair of heels and layering a leather jacket over the sweater. Or, if you’re feeling bold or just excited for fall, slap on a dark red, mauve or burgundy lipstick.

Wearing quirky or unique accessories is about wearing what makes you stand out in a way that feels comfortable and empowering. So go hit those thrift stores or local boutiques and find what makes you feel beautiful! Strut into fall with your unique style like it’s the New York Fashion Week runway.
