Fall accessories can transform any of your dull outfits into your own creative masterpieces. Accessories can be used for various purposes, but their main purpose is to demonstrate your personality in an eccentric way.
You can find the latest fashion accessories at these fashion-noteworthy stores: the fashion forward Forever 21, accessory haven Charming Charlie’s, and the savvy accessory store Icing. Some of the latest accessories for this fall include over-sized purses, stylish backpacks, sunglasses, colorful flats, and oxfords. Jewelry accessories for this fall include: statement necklaces, long necklaces with an eccentric pendants, dangling earrings and pearl bracelets.
Accessorizing with an over-sized purse is a big fall fashion statement. Its size makes it easy to capitalize on this accessory. For students as well as career women, right now is the best time to snag up the newest styles. Some of the most popular colors include: black, neon green, pink, and patterned.
Ladies, in order to ring in the fall season, you need a stylish backpack. The most sought after looks this fall include (but are not limited to) leather, fun prints, and cool metallics. Carrying books doesn’t have to be dull, but it can be fun if you accessorize with your choice of a girly backpack.
Being that we are in sunny Florida, where the sun is still shining, we have an excuse to wear sunglasses in fall. Round and square sunglasses are the most prevalent looks in style. As a fashion trend, sunglasses give your outfit a composed look because they add to your outfit. This is always a fun accessory to play with in your own unique way.
Yellow, red, pink, blue, white and green are just several of the many colors that you can rock when you choose your flats this fall. Many of you ladies may hesitate at the thought of wearing flats in fall, but pairing them with cute jeans or tights is a fashion-forward way to incorporate this look as an accessory in your fall look. Flats can also be worn in summer and spring, so having this accessory is a valuable investment.
Oxfords have become very popular over the last few years. This accessory adds class and sass to your outfits. The most popular colors include white and beige, but wearing a colored oxford is actually a great way to add pop to your outfit. These shoes are very comfortable, so no need to worry ladies; they won’t kill your feet.
Statement necklaces have been a huge trend for a while now, and it doesn’t seem this trend will be going anywhere any time soon. Wearing the right statement necklace can bring any outfit to the next level. If you are wearing a large, chunky statement necklace that might be the only accessory you need to wear with a cute dress.
My personal favorite way to wear a long necklace with an eccentric pendant is pairing it with something that is otherwise boring, like a plain dress or with a simple sweater and jeans. Eccentric pendants include: any animal pendants–owls are very popular this season. This accessory is an easy yet fun way to dress up something simple, and it can be worn in so many versatile ways. You can wear a cute long necklace with an elephant pendant, which can be the theme of your outfit based on the colors of your outfit.
If you love earrings you’re going to love this fall accessory: dangling earrings. They are cute and add personality to whatever you are wearing. Some of the most sort after looks include: chandelier, rhinestone, feather, and pearl. This accessory can be used to bring out your personality because there are so many different types you can choose from in order to find the one that you identify with.
Pearls are timeless. Adding a pearl bracelet to your outfit is the accessory you can use to complete an elegant look.
Being able to transform your own outfit into an expression of your personality is always the goal, so capitalizing on these accessories will bring your outfit to life in your own personalized way. Ladies, accessories are your friends, not your foes, so have fun with whatever accessory you decide that fits your personality!
