Accessorize!

Here's my number one tip, if you're going to spend a little extra on only one aspect of your wardrobe, let it be your accessories. Even the simplest outfit can be made more interesting by adding a colorful pair of earrings or a fun pair of shoes. Nail polish is the easiest accessory you can have. You put it on one day and it can last for a week (unless you're me, mine lasts about a day). Here are a few of my go to accessories:

From Top: shoes, Vince Camuto; bags (from left), Top Shop, Rebecca Minkoff, J.Crew, Marley Hodgson; earrings, Anthropologie; earrings, Kate Spade; necklace, Ann Taylor; necklace, Free People; nail polishes (from left), Ulta Envy, Essie Mod Square, Sephora Spark-tacular! Top Coat, Sally Hansen French White Tip (use on whole nail or mix with black to get a customized gray color), Revlon Vixen, Sinful Colors Aquamarine.
