[TIP #3] How to Spice Up Your Wardrobe When You’re on a Shopping Break

I trust your weekend was eventful and stuffed with burgers, microbrews and Americana. I definitely consumed my share of all three. My husband has been off work the last handful of days and we’ve had family visiting, so it has been go-go-go with the holiday gatherings and kiddo festivities. Four days of crazy means this mama is ready for some structure and slow days. But that’s not why you’re here, let’s talk clothes, shall we?! :)

For me, when piecing together an outfit, I tend to always go with simple is best. I feel like myself in simple, but  chic pieces.  However there are those times when simple doesn’t feel like enough. Or, maybe I’ve worn the same assembly of items several times and I want to kick it up a notch so I don’t get bored.

Enter tip #3 in this How to Spice Up Your Wardrobe When You’re On a Shopping Break series.

[TIP #3] Dig in to your accessories. Pull out your bigger, statement-making necklaces and add some visual interest to your outfit. Stack a few simple bracelets, or wear one eye-catcher. Grab a hat (my favorite for dirty hair!). And, by all means, do not forget your accessory secret weapon: red lipstick.

To illustrate, I did a simple demonstration with some of my favorite accessories. Note the difference between the first and third pictures.
