How do you accessorise your outfits? Do you where scarves, necklaces, or do you prefer to keep things very plain. Personally, most of my clothes are quite plain as I like to use my accessories to bring my outfit alive. In this blog I am going to share with you how to choose the right accessories to complete an outfit.
How to choose the right accessories to complete an outfit
Scarves
Accessories are a personal choice and some ladies I find don’t like wearing scarves as they find them too fussy and difficult to tie. I have some magnetic scarves which do not need tying you just need to twist around your neck and the magnets fasten at the back. This is great for older ladies who have problems with fastenings.
These are the only ones I have left now, and they retail at £12.00 plus postage. Imagine this pink spot scarf on a plain white or pink t/shirt, it would bring it alive. Try wearing some white jeans and pink shoes to tie in the colour. A simple scarf can make all the difference.

Another thing you could try if you are shy of tying your scarf is to use some scarf jewellery. These I have in several designs and can be used on many scarves that you already have in your wardrobe. They are meant to be used with a slim scarf that you are using for decoration not a large scarf. These retail at £8.50 each plus P&P
One thing that I have left in stock that will make an ideal wrap at this time, is this animal print fleece wrap. Can you imagine yourself snuggled up in front of the TV with this soft and cuddly wrap? I only have one left at £11.00 plus P&P if you are interested. This would look great over a black track suit for casual look, or over your little LBD (Little Black Dress) for when we can all start going out again.

Jewellery
If jewellery is more your thing, there is nothing better than a statement necklace on a plain top. On my website I have a selection of these necklaces in different colours, each have adjustable cord to wear different ways. This one shown here is £10.00 +P&P.
If you have a large bust, you can wear the necklace in the open neck of your top to draw the eye up away from your bust. I have a small bust and would wear it like this to camouflage a small bust.
Handbags
Yes, I would class a handbag as an accessory and these are very much personal choice. As I have had a neck and back problem, I have taken to using a much smaller bag than I used too. I am trying not to carry so much around with me and it if is things that I need whilst I am working, I put some things in my briefcase to spread the load.
I like to own lots of bags in different colours to wear with different outfits and for that reason I don’t like to spend too much on each one. Now days you don’t have to have your shoes matching your handbag either which makes it easier. One tip to take into account if you are a petite lady don’t have a large bag as this will swamp you and if you are a larger lady don’t choose a bag to small as it will look out of proportion.

Other ways to accessorise your outfits
You can use cardigans, waistcoats, wraps and sleeveless coats to add a touch colour to a plain outfit. They should be worn open so you can see your outfit underneath, this is also very slimming as it draws the eyes down. We are not getting to the time of year when layering come into its own before the warmer weather arrives.
