When it comes to fashion I have to say nothing gets my blood flowing more then a saucy discussion about accessorizing. In fact, I often find myself building an entire outfit around a favorite pair of shoes or earrings. Let’s face it, accessories can make or break an outfit.
Each season we are inundated with the latest trends. If we are lucky some trends from the previous season carry over into the current season, which is certainly great news for the budget-conscious and fashion-challenged individual.
Good news for the budget-conscious fashionistas – there is an accessory that stays in fashion and never goes out of style. What is this fabulous accessory? Attitude. Attitude has to be the most overlooked and underrated accessory available to each and every person from all walks of life. Here is some more fashionable news hot off the press -a positive attitude doesn’t cost a dime – however its impact is priceless. Another savvy reason to add a positive attitude to your ensemble – it can make you look like a million bucks.
Think about it, so you don’t have the budget right now to indulge in couture or douse yourself in Dior – it’s okay because this cost effective accessory will make you stand out more than any pair of Jimmy Choos.
On the other hand, if you are dressed to kill but have accessorized yourself with an unwelcoming, unapproachable or overall bad attitude – while it won’t get you on the famed Blackwell’s Worst Dressed list, beware as it may get you on another list that cannot be so easily rectified by your stylist.
So when you are getting primped for that next event, selecting attire for that party or tossing on your Kahkis for ‘casual day’, remember when you contemplate how to accessorize your outfit, don’t forget that attitude is in fact an accessory.
Style Tip: One accessory to avoid; a cell phone. Put it away. Enjoy the company of your friends when you are with them – or better yet strike up a conversation with someone next to you instead of ‘wearing’ your cell phone while you are waiting for your friends to meet you at the bar or standing in line at Starbucks.
