Transform An Outfit With Accessories
This & That by theclosetbychristie featuring leather pumps
Are you tired of wearing the same outfits to work every week? Invest in accessories! The best bit of advice I can offer someone looking to save a few bucks on their wardrobe is to spend your money on accessories. It’s truly surprising how much a few new (or old) accessories can transform a look. The real “money-saving” aspect is that you can wear accessories as often as you want without it being really obvious.
Take the above looks for instance. The pleated rust skirt is an accent piece. It’s paired with the sleeveless jewel-collared blouse in both looks. I really love this pairing because it’s kind of like a plain Jane with a modern twist.. and let’s be honest, I’ve always been a sucker for a little glitz. But this sparkle can be pulled off at the office! The first set (let’s call it ‘Look A’) is accessorized with a striped cardigan, pointed-toe mahogany heel, and a taupe tassel hand bag. The second set (or ‘Look B’) is enhanced with the color cream; a blazer, loafers, and snake-skin lined clutch.
Both looks are sophisticated in their own right but totally different (when they’re not side by side). Wear each outfit a week or more apart and I’m telling you- you’ll get compliments on it as if you’ve never worn it!
