How to Learn to Accessorize

Clothes might not make the man, but accessories make the woman! Every gal needs to know how to properly accessorize her outfit in an appropriate and classy way. Try these tips for some great accessorizing.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Don’t overdo it. After you’ve put on all the accessories you need, look in the mirror and take one thing off. Women always think that adding stuff to your outfit is a way of showing that you own a lot of jewelry, it’s flattering or attention-getting. Sometimes it is, but usually in a negative way.

2. Get out of the habit of wearing the same jewelry all the time. Some ladies have a preference for certain pieces, especially if they’re sentimental. That is understandable, and on a daily basis, it might not be a problem. But, if you wake up in the morning and decide to get a little spruced up special, why are you wearing the same jewelry you always wear? If you pay attention to your clothes, pay attention to your accessories.

3. Read the fashion magazines! They print them for a reason. They offer tips and advice not just to make you want to buy stuff, but also to help you look good while doing it. See what’s in this season and pick what you like.

4. Remember the seasons. If it’s hot and summery out, maybe a more natural, less-jeweled look is the way to go.

5. Consider buying necklace/bracelet/earring combos that come packaged as a set. This way they will always match!

6. Accessories aren’t all just jewelry! Nail polish, sunglasses, watches and handbags are all included. Taking the time to change your nail color or move your personal items into a different purse makes all the difference! It’s all about pulling a look together.

7. Leave the toe rings at the beach.
