The Tee Shirt

The Tee Shirt is something everyone owns. The problem is it doesn't always get the proper showcase. In every closet there are tee shirts but rarely do people think of them as anything other than casual weekend wear. I get that but sometimes I think a great white t-shirt with a colored pencil skirt and jacket makes a great office day outfit. Maybe even a great striped t-shirt just to add a bit style to a day of running errands. Next time you pick up a tee shirt think of a new way to wear it.

The Five ~ Bracelet

Who doesn't like a bracelet. I am much more likely to wear a bracelet over a watch most days. These 5 bracelets will really add fun to your wardrobe.They're the finishing touch on any outfit. Right now I am loving the term arm party; that is when you stack bracelets up one arm. You can create this look with all bangles or a mix of different kinds of bracelets. It is very chic. Wearing a tennis bracelet and charm bracelet together. For a touch of sophistication.  Add a cuff when you put on your bangles or a link bracelet with your tennis bracelets. Together or alone a bracelet can add a new element to today's outfit.

The Five ~ Accessories

A thing that can be added to something else in order to make it more useful, versatile, or attractive. That is the definition of an accessory. So if we were to be technical shoes, purses, jewelry and such things are all accessories but since I have already wrote about some of those things in this blog I have left them out. However we will be revisiting them when I start a new series called The Basics in a week or so.  Ok now that I have gotten that out of the way can I just say I love love love accessories. They make me happy. Accessories can turn an okay outfit into something stunning. I think a pair of driving gloves and sunglasses make an outfit look so chic and effortless. Adding a scarf can add a great pop of color or a touch of romance to a look. A hat adds drama and mystery. Now don't get me wrong accessories do have drawbacks. You can over do it very easily. Unless it is snowing or you are skiing a big coat, scarf and thick gloves are going to be hard to pull off as an everyday look. The first rule of accessories is not to try to hard. Give yourself permission to add some fun to your wardrobe by playing with accessories. Going to an outdoor concert throw on a hat with you shorts and tank. Out wine tasting over sized sunglasses keep the paparazzi away. Add a belt to a boring sweater to a bit of bling. Just try thinking outside of your everyday that is how style is developed.
