Samantha here! I’m a new member and I wanted to share my #1 fashion tip.

The simplest way to jazz up any outfit is to accessorize. Scarves, jewelry, and belts take an outfit to another level (Warning: Avoid piling these on all at once to avoid over-accessorizing!).

Shoes and bags can work as great statement pieces. But these accessories follow rather than lead a look—just what you need to spice up a blah outfit.

So the next time you’re wearing a billowy top, try cinching it with a bright belt. Pair a funky fringed scarf with a slim fit dress or your favorite tee. Add vintage post earrings and take your outfit back to the 1950s. The key is to look great, but effortlessly; and with these easy-to-add accessories you can create a layered look in seconds.

Every now and then, try something a little different- when deciding what to wear, start by choosing an accessory that you love, and then build on that. Usually, we choose the base outfit first and then add accessories. Sometimes you find a new and different look by just going at it differently.

I find that I do this when I’ve just purchased a new pair of earrings, or a new scarf, or something else that I love and want to wear right away. It’s fun.
