They are the quickest way to my heart but, more importantly, accessories are one of the easiest ways to level up an outfit without much effort!
The "accessories" family includes jewelry, shoes/footwear, handbags, ties/bowties, socks, hosiery, belts, scarves, and even eyeglasses!
For the picture, I was aiming for elevated everyday with a little zhush because I was presenting to 50 women at a New Jersey women empowerment luncheon. I wanted to have a little personality to capture their attention but not too much that it became distracting... and the other key is balance.
You can do too much! I am a fan of Coco Chanel-ing it - and removing something before I leave the house! For the luncheon, I did silver/gold metalware using my necklace, belt, and shoes (see below).
It doesn't take make but accessories are an easy way to level up your outfit and even better because, when you travel, they are typically small enough to toss into your luggage!
Carry on, stylishly!
