While your clothes may be fly, accessories can take them to the next level. Details are what make an outfit pop. Whether you’re willing to spend thousands of dollars or less than 10, it isn’t difficult, or necessarily expensive, to accessorize your look.
Rings: Talk with your hands! Big and gaudy is the new subtle. Your $6 ring from Charlotte Russe obviously isn’t real jade, but who cares? Bold rings make bold statements.
Earrings: Let’s face it — studs are boring. Liven up your ‘lobes! They are blank canvases waiting to be adorned with creative touches. If you’re scared to go the jumbo hoop route, try smaller earrings in not-so-typical designs. It’s not all about flowers and cubic zirconium.
Nail polish: In terms of color, anything goes. Pewter is what’s poppin’ right now, or really any shade of gray. While we’re all about keeping it bright, dark colors are classy, chic and able to complement any outfit. Black nail polish isn’t just for the gothic look anymore.
Belts: Who said you can only wear belts on your hips? Put them around your waist! Accentuate your curves by wearing a loose garment and fastening a belt over it to pull it together. Remember: If it’s already tight, you don’t need a belt to make it tighter. Be careful when using waist belts!
Watches: Even though your cell phone may suffice to tell you the time, don’t hesitate to drop some cash on a hot new watch. You should see the timepieces that are on the market nowadays. Companies like Movado are making their styles of watches very colorful and creative, and will make you want to ditch the cell phone. Even if you don’t tell time with it, your wrist will be lookin’ fly.
