Accessories are usually a key component to any look. However, although they add some spice, it is important that you don’t over accessorize. Over accessorizing can be the number one fashion crime. This summer, I think it is safe to say that the heat is not on our side—it’s brutal out there. With that being said, sometimes we have to go with a simpler, cooler look. When we do that, accessories come into play. Accessories can add to a look, change a look completely and also, when applicable, transition the look from daytime to nighttime.
This Fashionista on campus accessorized her look perfectly. She was careful in accenting the bold pattern on her top. First off, the pattern on the top is a detail in itself. The color palette is muted but beautiful, and the pattern is really on-trend for the summer. Next, the Fashionista paired her look with a faded pair of denim jeans, which are also perfect for the summertime if you want to wear jeans.
Now for the accessories, this Fashionista paired her look with a small gold watch that was absolutely beautiful. The picture does not do this watch justice; it was actually shining in the sunlight. Her shoes were the perfect accent to the look. Leather sandals are so on-trend right now and go perfectly with this Fashionista’s ensemble. Although these accessories were demure, they really complemented the whole look.
How To: This summer, try to accessorize your look, then add another dimension. Pair your favorite pair of jeans with a patterned top, then add a nice pair of sandals and a watch or pair of earrings. Always remember to not over accessorize, and in the words of the great Coco Chanel, “When accessorizing, always take off the last thing you put on.”
