It's All About Accessories

Do you need a wardrobe boost, but cannot necessarily afford to run out and shop?  Maybe you have the money, but are looking for something a little different to spruce things up.  Either way, a new way to put a shine on an old item is simple because it's all about accessories.

Find a great accessory and your new look problems are over.  I love trying to do something different.  Anyone can slap on a great set of jewelry, but changing up what you already have can be difficult.  So challenge yourself to think outside the box!

For instance, lets say you had one of those three-strand necklaces that look great together, but lost or broke two.  If your like most, you haven't thrown away the single necklace because you love it.  And you never wear it because it doesn't look that great on it's own. Well, wear it as a bracelet.  Wrap the jeweled rope around your wrist as many times as it will allow and even them out.

Here are some other helpful hints.  Select your favorite belt and wear it in varied ways.  Sometimes over a beltless dress or over a blazer. Consider wearing it high one day and low around the hips another, that is if it's long enough.  Apply an old broach to a necklace or scarf. Also, take all of those pocketbook straps that you never use and really look at them.  They make the perfect belts and you already have bags that match!

Remember, the solution to a problem is often right in front of you. This time it might even be in your jewelry box or closet.  Apply a unique perspective so you can see things different and create the look you want.
