Don’t over-accessorize

If you want to look beautiful and stylish, you should never put tons of accessories on you. In fact, many fashion specialists agree that the perfect number of different accessories is three. For example, then you dress up yourself, put only a necklace, earrings, and a ring. Or get bigger earrings, a few bracelets, and a statement piece hat. The rule is simple – choose three categories of accessories and put only one piece of it and you will look perfectly balanced instantly.

Don’t over-match

Another mistake here would be perfect color matching. Never try to combine your accessories colors with your outfit’s. Indeed – just forget about an ancient old rule to put only those accessories that have the exact color of clothing! That is so off nowadays, and you might look a little bit past century. Better play with darker colors or even contrasts. For example, if your whole outfit has a dominant shade of blues, try to stick to accessories that are gold or yellow shaded.  On the other hand, neutral colors are always matching perfectly without looking over-matched. And if you wear something neutral than everything slightly brighter will look perfectly.

Invest in good and high-quality accessories

Cheap accessories are fun and great sometimes, but if you wish to pull the right look, you need to start investing in fine jewelry and accessories. After buying a few not so expensive pieces, you will avoid over-accessorizing, and, in fact, always look expensive as well. Fine jewelry always looks sophisticated and beautiful, so you will never miss the shot with it. Although, I know how much it all costs. But there are some tricks how to make those prices smaller too! One of these tricks are these Neiman Marcus deals and coupons too. So set a budget, use some tricks and invest in good accessories to always have a great style.

Choose statement accessories for special occasions

Statement pieces are great then you desperately need to show off your personality and yourself. But in many cases, those bright and huge accessories are not welcome in an office or formal environments. So – my tips here would be staying away from statement pieces on a daily basis and leaving it to more special occasions. During the night out with girls, you can show yourself as much as you want, but at casual days stay away from flashy stuff.

Match with the clothing 

This shouldn’t even be on a list, but many women still tend to forget about it! If you dress is already full of sequences, try not to accessorize or do that in a very minimum way. Or if your outfit is plain a couple of bright and fun accessories can live it up drastically. So just try to balance all the sparkly and shimmery things on you and you will always look like a million bucks!
