Stylin' Tip: Accessories

Accessories are meant to enhance an outfit - emphasizing your good parts and distracting us from your trouble spots. Here are a few DOs and DON'Ts regarding accessories:

DO bring attention to your face by wearing large earrings, a head scarf, or a bow

DO wear loose fitting jewellery that cascades off the body. Long necklaces and earrings give the illusion of length & height instead of width.

DO wear strong pieces that match your body's weight and height. Jewellery that is too small on a larger body will not have much impact.

DON'T be afraid to bring some color into your life with accessories. They are meant to be fun afterall! A full black outfit looks extra hot when you add some dynamic red earrings!

DON'T wear cuffs, chokers, ankle straps if you have bulky wrists, neck or calves. The tight jewelery only emphasizes the width in these areas. If you leave them free and open you will look like you have tiny wrists, a longer neck, and slimmer legs.

Obviously these are just suggestions, and rules are meant to be broken! Here are a few accessories that I like that are bold, sophisticated and fun!

A CUTE HAIR ACCESSORY
I've mentioned these before and I probably will again! I love these Beret's!

Love this floral scarf from ASOS obviously!

A BOLD BRACELET
So I am breaking a rule here by suggesting cuffs, but since these are colorful and extra wide they work!

Check out C'est Joli's website for details!

A DYNAMIC NECKLACE
check out shopbop for a great selection and this hot number from Sachin + Babi

And again, just remember that as long as you are confident in your fashion choices, you will look fab!
Have Fun Ladies!
