There’s truly nothing like a good statement accessory that makes any outfit pop. I love fashion and have definitely been a passionate style lover since I can remember… but you know the truth, 60% of the time, I’m lazy… and don’t look like any of my stylized outfits. Normally, I’m wearing a staple uniform… and my trick to “vamping it up” to look stylish? A good statement accessory.
Every season (or even multiple times a season), I go on a statement accessory pilgrimage haha which basically just means I haul a bunch of accessories I know will make my “lazy” outfits look chic and on-trend. And of course, every season, the the trends change; but in stead of buying whole new wardrobes, I pick up these on-trend accessories that automatically change up my on-repeat looks.
Sharing 4 of those trends with you here and a round up of some of the pieces I’ve already picked up (on the cheap, because y’know, a girl’s gotta save):
1
VELVET
Velvet everything this season. It came into my life hard in the fall, but velvet and I are in the full swing of love. I love that the texture is bold and luxe, but also has a softness to it (quite literally). I love wearing it from day to night, and it adds just the right amount of subtle interest to an otherwise not-so-interesting outfit.
2
SEQUINS
Because girl, you deserve to sparkle! I must have gotten this from my dad – he loves obnoxiously loud things… but I love the way sequins make you look like you’re dancing in the light. The great things about a sequin accessory? Wear it from day to night. Doesn’t need to be a fancy occasion, because you fancy all the time!
3
CHOKER
This guy is here to stay. Bringing back the 90s in full swing – woot woot! The choker seems to be that accessory that makes any outfit automatically feel “cool” and “effortless”. I love adding it to just about any lower cut top/dress to add that badass flare.
4
CATEYE
Probably the shape of frames that looks good on just about everyone. The dramatic cateye this season will turn you in an all black uniform into the chicest badass B on the block.
I love that statement accessories change up your look so effortlessly, and best of all, on a budget. Add a $20 pair of sequin earrings to a velvet dress, and you’re looking like a million bucks without breaking the bank.
And who doesn’t look looking like a million bucks on a fraction of the cost, right? Listing all of my favourite pieces this season below and wishing you a sparkly, and inspiring, day friends!
