Crimes of fashion - Not accessorizing is a no no

Accessorizing can be the key to taking your outfits from drab to fab, so take it off your optional list and make it routine - it's the whole fun of fashion! I find it really boosts my self esteem to be able to flaunt my personality through little extras here and there and it helps take my wardrobe that little bit further by changing things up.

I try to shoot a little left of what's hot like trading a Keffiyeh for this midnight blue and metallic scarf. Choose things you actually like instead of shopping the "it" lists or dare to try something new, like some shoes with an edgy and unusual design. Fashion jewelry's always good (and cheap), try something dramatic.

So the moral of the story is, a little extra time invested in experimenting and personalizing your look will make you a happy fashionista and it's a sure fire way to fight frumpiness!
