Accessories, Please

Jewelry, hats, handbags, oh my. If you don’t have a drawer full of trendy fashion accessories, it's time to change that up. Having the right fashion accessories is the secret to transforming any wardrobe from basic to bombshell.

Oh, but the good news doesn't end there. Fashion accessories also allow you to personalize your outfits, and it literally takes less than two seconds – or however long it takes to slip on a stunning necklace and a matching clutch. So, grab those fashion accessories, ladies. Your casual ensembles will thank you for it later. 

Say Hello to the Heels

Footwear always makes a huge difference in look your outfit is giving off. Booties and leggings? Totally fall. Pumps and leggings? Ladies night out!

Something as simple as swapping out your basic flats for some killer stilettos can take the most basic tees and boyfriend jeans look like a masterpiece. However, if pumps aren't your thing or aren't casual enough for you, flats can still work wonders for you. You just have to choose the right kind, such as leather flat boots instead of colorful printed cotton flats, or rhinestone flats instead of plastic flip flops. 

So, keep an eye on your footwear, ladies. What you wear on your feet plays a huge role in your overall appeal. 

Keep Your Basics Neutral

When purchasing basic tees, leggings, long sleeve shirts, or anything simple, look for neutral tones to increase their versatility. While every wardrobe needs some statement pieces, keeping those everyday fashion pieces white, black, grey, or cream makes it easy to pair them with all kinds of different clothing. 

Just think - a graphic tee can’t always be paired with a showstopper faux fur vest, but a white tee definitely can!

So, keep your basics basic and if you're not a fan of neutral tones, simply opt for solid colored alternatives instead.

Unleash the Power of Layering

Layering is key to turning a regular outfit into a stunning ensemble. You can completely change the appeal of your casual ensemble simply by adding on some layers.

Perhaps it's adding a floral kimono over your tee, tossing on some sparkling jewelry or throwing on a hat to complete the look - layering is power, ladies.  

Just think about this for a second... A basic tee and a pair of jeans can be boring, but a basic tee, distressed denim jeans with a statement belt and matching bangles can take your wardrobe to the next level of fabulous.

So pick your basics, then play around with other pieces of fashion to see how you can layer on extra layers of chic style.
