Do you
wonder why some people always look fabulous even with a simple outfit? Well, Any outfit can go from boring to stunning with the right
accessories. You just need to learn to buy pieces that express your personality
and remember not to overdo, here are a few tips that
will draw extra (positive) attention to any outfit:
Use a splash of color especially during the cold
weather;
Color is
your friend. If your outfit is plain
(black and white, black and grey, etc.), create a pop of color with jewelry, a
scarf, a handbag, or a bright shoe. Also, Choose
colors based on your skin tone to determine which colors will look best on you.
If you have darkish (or cool) undertones in your skin, try peaches, reds, and
oranges to spruce up your outfits. If your skin has chocolate (or warm) undertones,
blues or greens will work best. And, don't be afraid to use color in your
makeup, too (not too much, of course). For instance, a colorful eye shadow
looks great paired with toned-down lips and cheeks. And, instead of using
lipstick, try a gloss. Most lip glosses with a gold or peach tint go well with
any skin tone.
Be careful with proportions.
If
you’re wearing an outfit that is big and voluminous, scale back on the
accessories. If you’re wearing something sleeker, you can go a little bigger
and bolder with a chunky cocktail ring or big, bright handbag.
Try layering your bracelets.
Stacked bangles are a hot
trend this winter. Wear a bunch on one arm to easily add sparkle to an outfit.
You can buy a pack of bangles at toteallykenya, very trendy and budget friendly.
Don’t be afraid to mix
materials.
I
know some people don’t believe this, but it totally okay to mix metals when it comes to jewelry. Mixing up your jewelry creates a
fabulous vintage look, so don’t be afraid to throw things together and see what
happens. You might come up with some amazing combos
Accessorize,
Accessorize, Accessorize.
Nothing makes an outfit stand out more than the
right accessories. If you're wearing a plain outfit, a great belt, flashy
necklace, or fashionable handbag will definitely get you noticed. If you're in
professional clothing most of the time, adding an accessory or two will make
your outfit more interesting. However, it's important to match the accessories
with the outfit, so that your look will be both fashionable and appropriate.
For instance, a big, chunky necklace may work great for evening wear, but not
for the office. Accessorizing with pearls, thin belts, and brooches look
wonderful with pants suits or business-like skirts and tops. Bohemian-style
tassel belts, hoop earrings, and sequined handbags compliment outfits with
denim or suede quite nicely. And, depending on the season, a good pair of
sunglasses could add just the right touch to any outfit. Be sure to purchase
glasses according to your face shape, and don't try to match the color of your
sunglasses with the color of your outfit (i.e. peach-colored shades with a
peach outfit is a big no-no.)
Don’t wear too many accessories at once.
There is such a thing as
too much of a good thing, and you don’t want to resemble a kid playing dress up
in mom’s closet. Exercise a little bit of restraint with accessories – if you
have statement earrings on, don’t add bangles, a cocktail ring, and a scarf.
Keep it to one or two main pieces.
It's
all about the shoes.
Every woman knows that shoes are the
foundation of any outfit. The perfect pair of shoes can turn an average outfit
into a fabulous ensemble. When you're choosing shoes for an outfit, there are a
couple of things to think about: Where are you going to wear the shoe? How long
will you have the shoes on? Will the shoes give your outfit a whole new look,
or will they be consistent with the look of the clothes? This will help you
determine what pair of shoes to match up with your clothes. For work, choose
shoes that are both comfortable, but make a statement. Kitten heels or wedge
heels will provide a little more comfort than a stiletto or pump, and the right
flat shoes can make a pants or skirt outfit just the right touch of
business-casual style. If you have an engagement right after work and don't
have time to change, simple switching out shoes can make a big difference. For
instance, if you've been wearing flats all day, try a heel in a bright,
eye-catching color if your outfit is plain. Or, if you've worn heels in the daytime,
a beautiful flat accented with sequins or embroidery will work well with just
about any outfit.
