If you are not using accessories to maximize your overall style, you are missing out on a fun opportunity to look your best. The right accessories can tie the elements of any outfit together, presenting a cohesive look that will turn heads everywhere. Here are five accessory ideas that you can lean on to complete any of your favorite outfits.
Do not underestimate the power of a statement piece of jewelry to add a whole lot of splash to your outfit. You can use the statement piece to play up what would otherwise be a plain outfit. Looking to add a new layer of fun to a simple cashmere turtleneck sweater? Try pairing it with a bulky beaded necklace. Or maybe sport a pair of glittery chandelier earrings.
If your outfit on its own is flashy, you will want to choose jewelry that is more understated. For example, a simple pair of pearl earrings is a good choice for a dress that already has a lot going on.
A classic belt can elevate any look. Not only do belts boast the practical function of holding your pants in the perfect place, but they can also add pizzazz to a variety of fashion pieces. Belts also have the ability to shape your figure.
For example, rather than choosing a boxy sweater dress on its own, try pairing it with a wide belt. Not only will the belt add an element of color and texture to the dress, but it will also break up the monotony of the one-piece clothing item while accentuating your figure. Your waist will instantly appear thinner when you use a belt in the right size for your shape.
Every outfit needs the perfect handbag to match it and carry out the vibe you are looking to achieve. You will want your bag to match the occasion. Boho backpacks are great choices for a day trip while wearing a casual outfit. A clutch bag is a better choice for a night out on the town.
Choosing the right style, color, and material can elevate the overall aesthetic of your outfit in numerous ways. Not to mention, handbags carry a great functional purpose holding all of your essentials when you are out and about.
Shoes are more than just a practical accessory. Your footwear can make or break your outfit, making it important that you choose wisely. Every closet needs a good pair of running shoes, a comfortable pair of heels in a neutral color, and a practical pair of boots.
From there, you can have fun by adding cool sandals, stylish booties, casual sneakers, and more. While it is always fun to use shoes as a fashion accessory, remember that comfort will always be the most important factor when picking out a pair of shoes.
While you are paying attention to your shoes, be sure not to neglect your head. Although simple bobby pins and hair ties will always reign supreme, do not be afraid to branch out with your hair accessories. This is an ideal place to experiment with different looks.
Try a bejeweled barrette, a flirty headscarf, a romantic bow, or a sophisticated headband. You do not need to have long hair to enjoy playing with hair accessories. Those individuals with shorter cuts will appreciate using decorative bobby pins or minimalist barrettes to keep hair out of the face.
With smart choices, you can use your accessories to inject an extra dose of style into your overall look. The right accessories can completely transform any outfit, giving you more style options every day.

Here is a vintage silver spoon that I cut, filed, pressed, forged, and oxidized into an open bracelet. As a final touch, I added silver balls in the center. The Italian name of this bracelet is “nido di rondine” (robin’s nest).
