How Accessories can Change a Look

The job of a stylist isn't just to pull clothes off of a rack, it's to select accessories that elevate the clothes from just an outfit to a look. If you look back at any iconic red carpet appearance or even just a JCPenny advertisement, accessories are used not to distract from the outfit, but to add to and complement it.

Accessories can go unnoticed in fashion sometimes, but they aren't hard to implement into any outfit. Here's a few ways on how to be your own stylist this summer season,

Earrings are an easy add on to a great outfit! Target is one of my favorite places to go for accessories, I included the links to these earrings, just click on the picture :)

If you're not a fan of big earrings, no problem! You can use smaller earrings and they'll do the trick!

Here's an example of how adding earrings can elevate your outfit

Belts are personally one of my favorite accessories, I use them with skirts, jeans and my go to, dresses. Belts create dimension in a look by empathizing the waist and they're super cute ;)

Here's an example on how to style a belt with an outfit

The greatest part about bracelets is that there are so many different styles for every personality.

For this upcoming summer season, check out 4ocean and Pura Vida, they look great with any summer look and the funds go toward a great cause

A purse for every mood! I wish I could have a Kate Spade or Coach bag for every outfit, but you can get cute bags at both Target and Shein for a cheap alternative

Here is an outfit that includes everything that is above

You don't need a professional stylist by your side in order to wear stylish looks, though it would be nice :), you can just do it yourself by adding cute accessories!
