Accessories are an important part of a woman’s life. Fact. I’m not putting it up there with food, wine and water, but, to me at least, they’re kind of necessary. No, my head isn’t filled with designer bags, lace and ribbon (although I believe this is yet to be entirely disproved), but when a woman walks into a room, like it or not, assumptions will be made based on whether your shoes match your belt that matches your bag, before you even have a chance talk with your mouth full or forget which one is the dessert spoon. I’m not saying we need to try and be some Miranda Kerr-esque Style Icon, but clothes are like a compulsory school sport and it’s sometimes handy to know a few ways to, well… cheat. Plus, whether or not you consider yourself Good At Fashion, I think accessorizing is pretty much the most fun you can have with your clothes on. Also a fact. When you see the pictures below, you will know exactly what I mean (you can tell I’m the kind of person who will make scrapbooks when I grow up).
Also (shameless plug), accessorising is cheap on Mamamia Shopping. It really is, there are accessories from $15, plus beautiful and special pieces that are a bit more of a splurge. Either way, if you choose wisely, a new item of jewellery can let you make the most of any outfit and make it look new. You’re basically SAVING money. Hey, you might have worn that dress ten thousand times, but at least the $10 necklace is new. You get the idea…
