How To Accessorise: Part 3

Another useful accessory that can add interest to your outfits is jewellery. I have recently invested in a few key statement necklaces to transform my look. This is particularly relevant to my last post on Christmas Day Outfit Solutions!!! as those velvet dresses or lace tops can immediately appear different with a piece of stunning jewellery.

Jewellery is an inexpensive way to create a new look. High street stores are full of various types of necklaces, bracelets and earrings to add the right amount of BLING to your outfit this Christmas. Now, I know it's Christmas Eve and you are probably all shopped out but if a necklace is the secret to transforming your Christmas outfit then hit the shops. If you are focused on the task in hand then you will be back watching Christmas films before you know it!!!! Alternatively, there may be one stashed in your jewellery box from a few seasons ago that will do the trick.

Let me know what Christmas outfits you will be wearing this year. I have opted for a sequin skirt with a more casual tee............... and you've guessed it, a statement necklace!!!

Have a fantastic Christmas from us all at The Image Consulting Company.

How To Accessorise: Part One

This weeks topic: How to accessorise an outfit

Do you find that your outfit feels incomplete and a little boring? Find out how I managed to transform my outfit through statement accessories in three instalments.

Fashion Dilemma: I realised that my outfits were starting to become a little dull and uninspiring, which led to me to thinking about ways I could add creativity within existing outfits.

Aim: My aim was to find inexpensive solutions to re-invent my look!! Accessories were the obvious answer but I wanted to remain true to my style so began searching for items that were relevant.

Solution: In my search I found three particular types of accessories that worked well with my style and cleverly created an illusion that I was wearing a whole new outfit. Firstly, I chose a bowler hat, which would easily fit in with my existing look. I love how my bowler hat immediately turns a simple top and jeans into a stylish, sleek outfit; a comfortable look that has attitude and edge. Look out for the next two accessories that have added an extra touch to my style.

Top Tip: Experiment with different styles of hats that work for you and fit perfectly. It takes confidence to wear hats as I was worried everyone would be looking at me and it may be annoyingly uncomfortable. Luckily, my hat fits really well and I forget that I am wearing it giving me confidence - only once the wind caught my precious hat leaving me running gracefully (I'm sure) trying to recover it.

What type of hat do you wear? A beanie, trilby or, like me, a bowler hat? I would love to know your secret hat tips. Alternatively, if you have a fashion dilemma please comment below or get in touch.
