Top 5 Accessories

 
Hello everyone! Today's post is about my top 5 accessories. I decided to do a post about accessories because in fashion, accessories can sometimes be more important than the outfit itself! Anyway, here is my list.

Handbag: Your handbag is like a vessel that carries your most prized possessions, so invest in your bag and you could have it for years. I don't think you should buy a bag based on looks. Before you buy, check that you are happy with it's size, the pockets, the fasteners etc. these things may sound insignificant, but chances are you will bring this bag everywhere, so you want it to be up to scratch!

Scarves: You can add a scarf to almost any outfit, scarves make an outfit look polished and complete. A scarf can also incorporate the latest fashion trend into your outfit, so for example if you love  leopard print, but are too afraid to wear a leopard print jacket a scarf is the perfect way to go. Ensure you have a wide range of scarves and you're good to go!
Jewellery: Personally, I think jewellery is the most important accessory you can have. Every girl should have a minimum amount of jewellery. Here are some examples: a watch, pearl/diamond earrings, chunky bracelet, bangles, stack rings so you can mix & match and finally a diamond pendant necklace. These are just a few suggestions, whether you choose something out of this list or another, make sure you have a few key pieces of jewellery as they can really make n outfit.
 
Shoes: Some people don't count shoes as an accessory, but I do!! Shoes are something that you have to invest in, you spend most of the day on your feet. The following are what I think are the basics for your shoe collection: black pumps, boots(uggs or leather whatever you prefer!), black stilettos, wedges, sandals(gladiators are a good option), a good pair of trainers and a pair of canvas shoes. Again, this is my opinion, you don't have to buy every single pair of shoes on the list, it's just a guide.

Belts: A belt will give any plain outfit a lift. There are many options when it come to belts but there are two main types: a skinny belt, and a wide belt. A skinny belt goes with cardigans(long or short), dresses, button-down shirt, blouses, high waisted skirts or trousers. A wide belt is more waist cinching and goes with basically the same as skinny belts, but ensure not to wear it to tight and wear it on your natural waistline as it looks best.

Hope you liked!

Until next time...
