Look Luxe

“Accessories are important and becoming more and more important every day. They can completely change the look of an outfit, and women like the idea of having a wardrobe that’s versatile. For instance, a strong piece of jewelry can make a simple outfit look elegant.”  – Giorgio Armani

A girl can never have too many luxurious coats or fabulous accessories…both can make a simple outfit look polished. Accessories’ charm is the ability to pull an outfit together and make the look complete. From scarves to cocktail rings accessories can be modern, simple, flamboyant or even vintage. The knack of looking truly elegant is in keeping the rest of an outfit simple when adding accessories.

Project: Jewel tones are a simple way to accessorize an outfit and also add a pop of color. I adore the luxe modern-vintage look of jewel tone pieces. Jewel tones are alluring and warm up any complexion. If you add anything to your wardrobe this winter that is considered a Trendy Piece my advise would be a jewel tone accessory.

Lesson: Stylish & Simple are the keys to achieving a polished elegant look. Select one or two pieces that coordinate with your outfit. Mix colors such as camel, red & turquoise OR purple, brown & amber.

Remember: classy & elegant rather than cheap and gaudy. Less is definitely more!

Savvy Shopping!
