We’re slooooowly easing into Fall here, and while I have a wardrobe that’s filled to the brim, I realized that I need to add a few more fun accessories into the mix. I keep it relatively simple right now because I can’t fully layer due to the temps still hovering around the high 70s/low 80s, so easy tops + denim need to have something fun added to them to keep it from being boring. Sometimes I wish I was the girl that wore all of the crazy trends, but I prefer more safer bets: the classic “trends”. You get more wear out of them because they can be mixed and matched without being over the top.
I’ll branch out when it gets a little cooler for sure, but if you’re looking for a quick update as well, here are 6 accessories to add to your wardrobe right now.
As pretty as dainty bracelets are, they don’t do anything for me when I wear them. I’ve found that I have to wear aesthetically heavier pieces in order for them to make an impact.
Rope Trim Floppy Felt Hat, $21.98
I have been in search of the perfect floppy hat since the days of Bennifer and will not stop until I find the right one. I came close in 2010 (right shape, wrong texture) but the hunt still very much continues.
Daisy Fold Over Clutch Bag, $20
Chokers are one of the few 90s inspired trends that I’d actually like to try. They seem to add a slight edge to a look without looking costume-y (worn with a white button-up + jeans it’s surprisingly posh), so I won’t feel foolish wearing it.
Leopard Print Genuine Calf Hair Belt, $40
So I hate wearing belts with pants, but I always find fun ones to wear with my dresses. Leopard is a neutral in my book, so this one would go with pretty much every color I have in my closet. I have a few loose/flowy maxi dresses that I can wear for a few more weeks, so I just add a belt and then layer a cardigan over it to keep the silhouette from being too billowy.
Warehouse Tab Detail Cross Body, $41
