Accessorise yourself a new look….

Last week I was lulled into the false sense that spring was here…I was wearing sandals, sunnies and talking of purchasing a new bikini…erm slightly premature! My excitement of bursting open my summer clothes has been dashed and I am slightly depressed that winter in looming for a little longer.

I feel like I am at that ‘in-between’ stage with a haircut; you need to just be a little patient and wait. So when we need to be patient and wait for our summer clothes but want something new – what do we do….accessorise!

Add some colour with a scarf or necklace. Glam up a boring look with stacks of bracelets or a statement necklace.  Work trend colours easily with bags and belts.

Our top tips for accessorising to perfection are:

Buy scarves in colours that go well with most others. Purples, pinks, blues and greys are great. It means they’ll go with more outfits.

Add a little look of spring with a belt, bag or shoes in a frosty pastel colour. There are loads around at the moment.

Go for longer earrings if you have a short neck or a double chin it will elongate your neck.  Avoid large, choker-style necklaces.

Don’t be afraid to mix and match different looks, you don’t have to match everything you’re wearing.

Only wear 2-4 pieces of jewellery at one time. Show off the beautiful things you’re wearing, don’t look like an extra on ‘My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding’.

So, go raid your jewellery box and wear something a bit different to brighten up this winter!!
