It’s true… your outfit isn’t complete without accessories… 

There – I said it. Now, let’s see if you have what you need.

Hats… a woman should have a few of these at the ready. They’re not only great for a bad hair day, they let everyone know you’re confident in your style. If you’re wearing a fashionable hat, you stand out. Done right, you stand it in a good way. A straw fedora, a wide brim hat in wool and also a summer-weight material like straw are essential. The hat can’t be so big it overwhelms you. As far as head size, many hats today are adjustable. A baseball cap is a trendy piece not just for the gym. A big sun-protecting hat for the beach is also a nice addition. Check out some of that hats right here…

Next topic: earrings. One should have a stud for everyday, a hoop of some size to your liking, a dressy earring like a chandelier or rhinestone style, something dangly. Everything other type of style out there is extra. Wear what you love and that fits your personality. Here are a few I love…

Then there are belts. They sort of disappeared for a while but they’re back! I believe a woman should have a skinny belt to go over your tops, around your waist, a medium width belt that fits your pant belt loops and also a medium width that you can wear around your waist and a wide belt for heavier fabrics you are belting around the waist. Essential belts to have are a black, a brown something printed and/or multicolored. Bonus points for a metallic or trendy chain link. See several that I recommend…

Of course there are more accessories – handbags, necklaces, bracelets, rings, sunglasses (and glasses in general) – but we’ll save them for another post…

As a side note, I couldn’t close out this post without mentioning the panelled skirt I’m wearing. The details of the bold cutwork along with the rusty amber color in an A-line silhouette without a doubt makes this piece the star of the outfit. If you’re not into earthy tones it also comes in black
