Fave Accessories For The Summer

I wanted to post some pics and write about my personal favourite accessories for the summer, accessories can be inexpensive and can dress up even an outfit that you've worn 20 times, which is what I love, because most of us can't afford to buy a new outfit for every event we attend, but if you have a variety of jewellery, hats, scarves, purses and belts you can transform that lil' black dress into something totally different.  I usually buy a lot of neutral outfits, that way they can transition through the seasons and I can save the big pops of color and print for my accessories.  My biggest tip when entering any store is hit the sale racks first, also keep your eyes out at second hand stores and yard sales, you never know, you could find a really great scarf, purse or belt for uber cheap! So a few things I am wearing a lot this summer are big beaded necklaces, big chunky rings, stacks of bangles, and scarves because they are so versatile and you can wear them in so many ways  (tip, don't know how to tie a scarf? Google how to tie a scarf and you can find about 10 different ways!)  I am loving animal print things like purses, shoes and scarves and on days I am not feeling up to doing a lot with my hair, I do a quick , messy side braid and throw on a fedora, and they look really really cute with a romper style dress.  All of these things can turn a casual outfit into a classy one and by switching up your accessories you can get many looks out of one outfit! :)
