3 ways to turn a casual look from ordinary to extraordinary

1- FUN JEWELRY
There are so many different styles and types of jewelry. Statement pieces are what come to mind first but you may also want to consider some trends and specific styles, too. I’ve been loving tassels, modern minimalism like crawlers, and statement boho like the House of Harlow line. In this look, I’m wearing a simple long pendant necklace but the twist is that it’s reversible.

2- A STATEMENT PIECE
My favorite statement pieces are sleeveless blazers or longline cardigans. In this look, I’m wearing my longline floral kimono vest. Statement pieces don’t have to stop there! Other examples include bold printed or bright colored handbags, scarves, and even a funky pair of shoes.

3- MODERN DETAILS
Modern details are my favorite because it gives off a vibe that you aren’t just trendy but ahead of the times, too. A few examples include ear crawlers as previously mentioned, boots with metallic heels, marble jewelry, and tassels.
