Today I'm going to show you how you can instantly style outfits using accessories. You can use
accessories to make a statement and reflect your personal style or you can just use them to bring
some pizzazz and fun to your outfit. So let's get started. The first way you can use accessories is
to reflect your mood. Sf you're feeling fun and excited you can wear some blingy jewelry whatever
that is. Maybe it's earrings, maybe it's a belt, maybe it's a necklace, maybe it's a fun purse.
Just find that fun thing for you and let it reflect your mood. If you're feeling
more calm you can use a scarf, maybe a blue in your best blue, maybe it could be a turquoise,
a light blue, a dark blue - choose a scarf that you really like and reflect that calm mood.
You can use accessories to spice up a neutral colour. The neutral coloUr might be grey,
beige, black - whatever colour it is, or the neutral, that you most wear.
Use accessories, it could be shoes. Wear some really contrasting shoes or a print shoe,
maybe it's a handbag, or you could use or a scarf. Just find some accessory that you really love
and put it together with that outfit to bring some interest to it. If you have three colours that you
like to wear, you could use a handbag or a scarf to bring all those colours together. In this
picture you'll notice I'm wearing a red skirt, a white top and a black jacket and the purse has
all those colours so it brings it all together. You could also do it with a scarf and take the
colours from the outfit and put it with the scarf and bring those colours together. So whatever your
favorite colours are, just think of a scarf or a handbag where you could bring those together.
Let's stop for a quick quiz. If you had to choose one of these handbags for this outfit
which one would you choose? Handbag 1, Handbag 2 or Handbag 3. Put your answer in the comment box.
The most fun way to use accessories is to express your creativity. Maybe you make your own jewelry.
You could wear that. Maybe you like to spice up your wardrobe with glasses. You could wear
shiny glasses, or odd shaped glasses, different glasses , or maybe wear a hat, maybe some boots
with some fur - any accessory that gives you the opportunity to express your creativity.
It doesn't have to be something that's trending. Create your own trend. It's also a very good
idea to keep your accessories out in sight where you can see them because if you don't see them,
you won't wear them, and also if you see them maybe you'll get an idea of how you can wear them.
Or just spend some time brainstorming ways that you could wear your accessories,
Anytime I see an accessory I love I always buy it
and I find a way to incorporate it into my wardrobe. So have some fun with your
accessories and maybe go through them and find something you haven't worn for a while
take it out and then think about how you could incorporate it into an outfit.
