The importance of the accessory

7/3/2018

Now that summer is officially here, the weather has been consistently warm which means that, most days, it's too hot for layering clothes. During these days, I tend to stick to rompers, dresses, or the short + dress combo which leaves little room for that extra piece of clothing needed to create a unique look. However, the perfect accessory can add something special to every outfit you wear this season. Continue reading for my 5 ways to accessorize this summer!

fun Bag:

One way to dress up your summer outfit is to wear a fun, unique bag! The outfit I am wearing above is minimal, so the unique style of my bag adds a nice pop to the outfit. I've been loving basket bags this season and they come in so many fun shapes and sizes. I've linked a couple of my favorites below.

Cute Shoe:

Another way to style a simple outfit is to add a trendy shoe. This summer, try a colorful or embellished shoe, or a chunky espadrille like the ones below to dress up your outfit!

sunglasses:

Sunglasses are an absolute necessity when going out in the summer, but that doesn't mean they can't be fun too! I chose to wear a pair of red sunglasses to add a pop of color to my outfit, and you can too with some of these styles below.

layering minimal necklaces:

Wearing too many large pieces, or even just one heavy necklace can easily become uncomfortable on a hot day. Instead, layering minimal necklaces allows you to wear more without feeling weighed down. I have been loving the trend of coin necklaces this season and layering them with a more basic style, and I've linked a few of my current faves below.

statement earrings:

Until recently, I strictly wore stud earrings unless I was attending a formal event. Now, I've been seeing statement earrings everywhere and have been loving incorporating them into my everyday outfits. I also love that they come in so many shapes, designs, and colors! Check out some of my favorite statement earrings below.
