Walking into your favorite store, the eyes of the shopper are always drawn to detailed pieces. During the summer months, floral prints are in but when the fall and winter months roll in, floral prints get moved to the clearance rack and sequins begin to catch the shopper’s eye! This is usually around the time when we start welcoming the festive holiday months.
What about those pieces that lack color, detail and don’t really stand out? Those are the pieces that, believe it or not, that can be the most fun! They offer versatility and allow for creativity to take place. Even though these pieces can be cheaper, shoppers overlook them out of fear of being “boring.” Little do they know, accessories are always a necessity to pull off a simple, but chic, outfit.
Walking to and fro on the University of Memphis campus can be hectic, especially on a hot day. The first week of school calls for Nike shorts and T-shirts for many students. With all of the heat, repetitious syllabi readings and professors releasing class early, looking presentable in class is not a must for student.
However, this Fashionista did not let the long walks to class and boring syllabus readings cramp her style! The simple look allows her show off individuality, while remaining comfortable (and cute) at the same time.
Not only did this Fashionista choose to be simple and comfortable, she utilized her accessories to dress up such a simple outfit. Pairing her heather gray T-shirt dress, with the chunky orange bracelet and her matching cross necklace chain, gave a bit of color pop to her outfit. She did not overdo it with her accessories but allowed them to complement her style.
How To: Do you have a simple dress or top, but feel so plain when you wear it? Take some colorful accessories and pop the outfit! A few pieces can go a long way. If you feel like your closet is lacking with simple accessories, check out stores like Plato’s closet or even consignment shops! After a while, you will see your closet full of them and it may just become your go-to style!
