Why minimize when you can accessorize

by PebbleStar

Picture this: you’re getting ready for a night out. You have on your flattering black ensemble and that pair of killer stilettos (that Picture this: you’re getting ready for a night out. You have on your flattering black ensemble and that pair of killer stilettos (that are so beautiful they’re worth the inevitable next-day cramp). Just a touch of gloss and you’re good to go. Until a quick glance at the foyer mirror confirms what you’ve been suspecting…

An outfit that used to work well, is simply not cutting it for you tonight. Something is missing. That extra sumpthin’ sumpthin.’ You rummage through your little box, not exactly sure what you’re looking for. That minor addition that will have a major impact; you’ll just know it when you see it. It is utterly amazing how a bracelet (or seven!), choker, chunky necklace or whatever accessory fits your mood turns an outfit from drab to fab.

Accessories make or break an outfit. This is now a fact that’s ranked up there with gravity and climate change. They could turn the very same get-up from ho-hum to va-va-voom in a heartbeat. The ‘less is more’ school of thought is slowly being undermined by the more contemporary ‘more is not enough’ spirit (case in point: Olsen twins).

The beauty of accessorizing is that you can essentially create different outfits for different occasions while using the same basic pieces. It goes without saying that depending on which piece you decide on, you are not only transforming your look but also your aura (du jour). Allow me to demonstrate. Equation: your favourite pair of jeans + white cotton tank top - many possibilities. Put on sandals and a delicate multi-coloured necklace and voila, sweet girl-next door. Behind door number two: a pair of killer heels + as many bangles as you want + your favourite hoop or dangling www.pebblestar.com provide great fixes for accessory junkies (oh…the high!). There is sure to be a piece that fits any occasion, mood or any personality you dare to become. And with affordable prices, buying accessories (unlike handbags) do not entail having to starve oneself after the purchase.

So remember people, why minimize when you can accessorize?
