Last week, I shared my own experience with accessories. I truly believe it changed everything for me. I went from looking quite ordinary, even frumpy, to looking more polished and put-together. People started calling me ‘stylish,’ and I felt much more beautiful. My overall confidence improved dramatically as well.
Of course, this transformation didn’t happen overnight. I started by adding more bags to my wardrobe. I began with a versatile black bag, then added a colorful one, discovering that a splash of color could lift even the simplest outfits. Later, I brought in a textured bag, which worked wonders with my preference for solid-color outfits. This was a great way to add some texture or print to my outfit without investing in printed clothes. An extra bonus is that printed cloth bags are often very affordable yet highly effective!
After that, I discovered the power of necklaces. Having worn small, dainty silver necklaces for years (if I wore one at all), I realized that bigger, more colorful, contemporary necklaces suited me much better. They fit my architectural style and my love for adding some fun to my outfits, and they brightened up my complexion.
Later on, I started wearing more interesting shoes and even started wearing heels! While you might have worn more heels when you were younger, I mostly wore ‘comfortable’ shoes. It never occurred to me to invest in a pair of pumps to look fantastic for a date night. (Is it any wonder that I have a husband who doesn’t care about shoes?)
Adding a colorful bag and multicolored shoes made my outfits more fun. All these changes contributed to a more stylish me.
