So what is a Fashion Accessory?

"A fashion accessory is an item used to contribute, in a secondary manner, to the wearer's outfit, often used to complete an outfit and chosen to specifically complement the wearer's look".

The perfect explanation. A fashion accessory 'contributes' or is 'part of' an outfit. 

Your choice allows you to express your personality and sense of style. Take an ultra simple outfit in neutral colors, add accessories and paint a picture of the person you'd like to be!

Less is more!

There are two types of accessories; those we wear and those we carry. We wear shoes, boots, hats, belts, scarves, shawls, stockings, tights, ties, gloves, jewelry, a watch etc. but we carry bags, glasses, sunglasses, briefcase, luggage, pens, wallet and an umbrella.

From that long list of items you can understand how easy it would be to overload if you were an accessories fan! 

Coco Chanel is reported to have said 'Before leaving the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off'.

Think you've got nothing to wear

Nothing to wear? If your wardrobe looks boring a few key accessories can transform simple into stylish.

Accessories draw the eye so choose just a few to accent an outfit or the feature you want to present. If you're wearing a full set of jewelry, a watch, a hat and scarf perhaps sunglasses, then no one item will stand out and you're end up looking cluttered. 

Keep it simple when surrounding your face. Earrings are a must to light up your face so if you're getting lost ditch the necklace.     

Whether you want to style up, style down or go completely casual, you can dictate the tone with your choice of add-ons - just keep them to the same level of 'dressiness'.

Keep to scale...

Keep accessories in proportion to your body frame.

A small frame can be overwhelmed with large scale accessories, she should keep it neat. A larger woman, however, will look bigger still if her accessories are not in proportion to her body.

Wear Pearls casually

Still only wearing your pearls with a little black dress?

Classic pearls have always been associated with 'dressing up'. But 'going out' has become increasingly casual and we're starting to wear pearls casually too. They're fashionable again and even fun!

The perfect necklace

The neck is a very sensitive area and considered an erogenous zone – I wonder if this is why we decorate ourselves in this area. 

But necklaces can be surprisingly difficult to get right...
