Accessorize yourself!!!!

“A woman makes an outfit with her own accessories,” said the eminent fashion designer, Oscar de la Renta. Accessories add glamour to an outfit ensemble. Be it a chunky bracelet, a pair of loop earrings or an antique neck piece – accessories help one to stand out in a crowd of people dressed in the same, everyday look.

Just like spices add flavor to food, accessories add a flavor of their own to the outfits. They come in quite handy because when one tries a regular outfit ensemble with various sets of accessories on different occasions, every look appears to be in vogue. This is because, just by juggling with different sets of accessories, a myriad of cool and chic looks can be created. Furthermore, most people tend to believe that spending on accessories is a better investment than spending on outfits, because the more the accessories, the more the looks one gets to flaunt.

For day-to-day life, in case of working women, a simple platinum or silver necklace could be an ideal way to accessorize one for various formal occasions. Formal accessories could also include a stylish, antique watch or simple platinum or silver studs for earrings. 

Accessories could also involve the addition of a nice pair of shoes or a stylish handbag or a purse. In case of casual outings or road trips, chunky sets of accessories like bracelets, chains or necklaces could serve as viable options for accessorizing.

Black metal accessories seem to be quite in vogue for such occasions. Also, for occasions like picnics or parties with friends, an addition of a floral tiara would only help in bringing out a carefree look.

                                      

Occasions like weddings call for accessorizing in the best possible way. Be it the sleek maang-teeka falling on your forehead or the bangles sitting on the wrist; be it the nathni on the nose, or the addition of either an anklet on one ankle or payal on both ankles, everything brings out the requisite ethnicity for such traditional occasions.

Even the addition of danglers on the ears, or the addition of a small purse dangling from the side adds beauty to the traditional outfit. Simple jootis or sandals could go well with the ethnic ensemble.

For a date-night or a candle-light dinner, minimal accessory might help in adding an air of elegance required for such occasions. A simple handbag or clutch could go with the dress or gown put out for the occasion. Peep-toes or plain heels could serve as an ideal footwear option.

An outfit ensemble is incomplete without accessorizing. With the mere addition of a simple watch on the wrist, one seems to attain a proper attitude and a persona. Accessories help in adding a new trend and standing out in a crowd. They save one’s time from rummaging through a closet full of clothes. An inclusion of accessories to the ensemble generates a fresh and rejuvenated sense of styling which can never be outdated. This can be well justified by Michael Kors’ statement: “I’ve always thought of accessories as the exclamation point of a woman’s outfit.”
