“Accessories make the outfit.”
I know I’ve heard the phrase over and over, and I’ve probably even spoken the words a time or two. And for the most part, I believe it. Two women can take the sames jeans and top and turn them into two entirely different looks by accessorizing. I think that’s what I kind of love about blogging outfits: sharing how I’ve taken something off the rack that hundreds, thousands, or however many people have and how I’ve made it my own.
But at the same time, I occasionally find myself struggling. I’m somewhat of a simple girl. I like classic pieces and don’t take too many style risks because that’s just not my personality. Sure, I love layering on a cardi, skinny belt, or statement necklace, but some days I’m more comfortable in a pair of studs and a single bangle.
And honestly, I’m kind of cool with it. I don’t mind being more timeless than trendy. It may not make for a super-interesting fashion post, but hey it’s honest. And it’s me.
How would you describe your style? Are you an accessories queen, clean and simple, or somewhere in between?
I try to keep it somewhere in between when it comes to accessories and I love your look here! Great post!

This Looks Good On You
Most of the time I’m right there with you: middle of the road! 🙂
I personally like simple jewelry- I never undersand the bloggers who wear crazy “arm parties” with every outfit. It’s like “stop trying so hard!”
I know what you mean. I love stacked bracelets, but sometimes more is just more!
Call me wind beascue I am absolutely blown away.
What a pretty top! I love all the detailing on it!
I’d say that blogging def got me into layering it on – before blogging, I barely had any jewelry or other accessories – I guess I am playing catch-up now!
I agree with you! I think blogging has made me pay more attention to little details like selecting the right earrings or bangles.
love the chic look! Beautiful 🙂 Thanks for stopping by my blog. Would you like to follow each other? 🙂

Thanks 🙂
I agree that accessories can totally change an outfit! I’ve noticed through following your posts that you tend to keep it simple when accessorizing and I really like it since I’m very much the same way. A couple bracelets and a nice pair of earrings usually rounds out my accessories although I am trying to branch out a little with a few more statement pieces…we’ll see how it goes!

I’m right there with you! Trying to branch out a little more… 🙂
I absolutely love that top! So feminine and pretty!! It actually depends on my mood. Sometimes I keep it simple, other times I layer it up a bit more.

I LOVE your style. So classic, and I don’t think simple is bad. It’s better than being way over done! 🙂
Thank you, Liz. Such a sweet comment. 🙂

Thank you, Yi-chia! 🙂
Hi Lauren! I’m stopping by your blog for the first time and I’m so glad i did! You have such a beautiful layout. I know what you mean about the accessories, I have a hard time taking time to put more on when I am more of a classic and simple type of dresser. But I love the outfit you have on and the earrings look great! 🙂

Thank you Evani! I’m so glad that you stopped by to say hello. 🙂
I’ve never been very big on accessories–I prefer to let the bright colored clothes that I love to wear make the statement!
When your clothes make the statement, keeping accessories simple is definitely the way to go!
I am more of a bright colours plus accessories type of girl, but I really like how fresh you look in this particular look. It’s really the crisp white shirt that made the whole thing!
Thank you!
