ALL IN THE DETAILS: When In Doubt Add Some Bling

Do you ever find yourself wearing the same sort of thing over and over again? Always wanting to match a plain shirt with a pair of jeans and calling it good? Well, there’s a way you can prevent this and that’s by adding accessories. Things like necklaces, watches, hats, and shoes can take a repeated outfit and give it that differentiating factor.

When I pick out an outfit, I often times find myself wishing that I had something different and more appealing. Then I remember that I have that awesome new necklace that I just got, and I realize that I’ve already got that interest factor. By simply incorporating that necklace into your outfit you begin to draw people’s eyes away from the plainness of your shirt and toward the shiny new thing around your neck. As soon as you add a bracelet or watch into the mix, you start to form multiple focus points that trick people into thinking that you put a lot of effort into your ensemble for that day when really it took only two minutes to pick them out.

This Fashionista could have left her outfit plain and simple, but she decided to add coordinating gold jewelry, a watch, and some textured rain boots. By doing this she added variability to her look and added an interest factor that everyone should try to incorporate into their look. Whenever you find yourself getting stuck in a situation like this one, step away from your closet and look in your accessories drawer, because that is where you’re likely going to find your inspiration.
