Accessories That Make Any Outfit Go From Dull To Dazzling
Tina, here.
Over here in my world, I wear the same clothes over and over. And over and over. It's what a classic wardrobe is all about: take a few really good wardrobe building blocks, and reinvent them every day, every season. And it really does make life easier. But it can also make life seem a little, hmmm, maybe repetitive? The answer? Accessorize the heck out of your outfit. I've taken lately to wearing something as *basic* as blue jeans, a white button down and then adding fabulous pumps and jewelry. Nothing basic about that.

Look Number 2
I am slightly obsessed with matching cuffs. I like symmetry in general, and when I see a pair of cuffs, or heck, even a pair of lamps, I'm sorely tempted to take them home. I bought these cuffs on eBay and bring them out during the holidays. A pair makes such a strong statement.

Look Number 3
It's a great fashion formula: take a white dress or white jeans or white blouse, and add colorful earrings and shoes. The shoes really make the difference! Once you have your basics like black patent pumps, good flats, a good bootie, then you can branch out into the less basic shoes like these!
