Whether that accessory is a great pair of shoes, a sparkly necklace, or a bright bag, it can instantly spice up a piece that you just didn’t love as much anymore. If you’re bored with your current wardrobe, accessories can change everything!

2. Add Color

Add Color If you’re wearing a piece that feels boring, plain, or a little too ordinary, add some color with another piece. For example, if you’re wearing a simple, white, button-down, pair it with a bright pair of pants to dress up your outfit!

Take a chill pill guys! It's just a cute little post! If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. No offense

Nomination for worst a article of the year. Number one would have some use if the author used different examples of the same outfit with different accessories. But no, she just tells us to put some on. Many of us already wear blazers to work on a daily basis, or is that already antiquated? But come on, does she REALLY advise us in the steps to use our staple clothing pieces to LOOK THRU FASHION MAGS. You should win a Nobel prize. None of these look make sense to all of your heavy layering with one shirt and an open sweater. Please.

I dont think mix print is goog idea in my opinion ,

Lolol, wow nasty!! I happen to really like the article! To the person filled with anger, you took a lot if time to write about something you dislike so much,laugh!

Geez, relax a little.
