It is a fashion fact that most of us find it less intimidating to enter a new season through accessories.
Before we consider a swing coat with bell sleeves, we’re paying for new shoes.
Before we even try on a daringly-cut pair of pants, we’re carrying a new handbag.
In a fall season dominated by gray and dazzled by metallics, choose your accessories accordingly.
Work pops of color into your wardrobe with purses, tights and hats in purple, peacock blue, fuchsia and emerald green.
Introduce yourself to metallics with shoes or a bag.
Learn to walk in chunky high heels – it’s easier this winter with oxford style shoes and feet-covering booties that lend more stability.
Shoulder bags and clutches – small and large – are musts for bag ladies.
Go for texture. Shine or unusual leathers. Bows. Feathers.
Update your dresses and jumpers from last year with white tights.
Instantly romanticize a look with pearls, vintage brooches, chunky bangles.
Wear a cloche or fedora. Who cares that it musses up your hair?
