Make a Statement

 

As much as I love clothes, I am much more an accessories girl. I can shop for shoes, jewelry and handbags for hours on end, and I sometimes spend more time picking out my accessories than I do my outfit! Here are the top three things that I’m currently loving:

1) Jewelry — Make a statement with the jewelry you wear! You can go big with a jeweled or layered necklaces, bold bangles or my favorite are big cocktail rings. My YSL Arty ring is one of my favorites, and it definitely makes a statement! When wearing a big necklace, try to keep your tops pretty simple and minimally detailed. A bold necklace needs to be the focus of the outfit.

2) Scarves — Don’t forget about scarves for the spring! Even though the sun is coming out, it’s still a bit breezy, and the best way to keep warm with a jacket (or paired with a jacket) is a lightweight scarf. If you’re used to just tossing a cardigan on to keep you warm, then try adding a scarf like this one around your neck. Not only will it keep you warm, it will also add personality to your outfit in an instant!

3) Bags — The brighter the color, the better! A bag is the easiest way to infuse color into your wardrobe. If you are not sure about wearing hot pinks or purples, then get a handbag in those shades and wear it with your black/white/gray outfits. Just wait. You’ll see how much more fun your outfit becomes! This Rebecca Minkoff bag is one of my favorites, and it comes in a ton of colors.

This season, just know that the bolder, the brighter, the better; so whatever accessory you prefer, don’t hold back. Let it stand out and make a statement!
