What are your thoughts on transitioning your wardrobe from Summer to Fall? 

Today’s post is about “keeping style simple”.   Are you a girl who loves to wear jeans and a t-shirt? Is that your standard outfit? Or is your baby 6 months old and are you feeling like you have no style in your wardrobe? Or are you 40 and trying to figure out if your wardrobe is age appropriate?  Here is one outfit with 4 different looks, by just changing the accessories (jewelry, shoes, scarves). The staple pieces are denim jeans and a white t-shirt.  Here are the reasons why I chose a boot-cut jean and a 3/4 sleeve t-shirt.

My preference is a BOOT-CUT Jean. Flattering on almost any body shape, primarily because the slight flare at the bottom balances out any curviness in the hips. If you want a staple item in your wardrobe, I highly recommend a 3/4 Sleeves T-shirt because its flattering on any arm…need I say more!?

Outfit 1: Update with easy to wear on-trend jewelry – Clover Key Necklace layered with  Chelsea Necklace in Hematite. These are both necklaces that I would consider every day pieces. The are two pieces I wear a lot, both layered and separately. The Soiree Studs are an adorable earring that we’ve just added to our Spring Collection and they are a great all around basic pair. Last but not least – black flats, another staple item you should have in your wardrobe! Just make sure your boot cut jeans are hemmed correctly for wearing flats. It’s never attractive to have your jeans “puddling” at your feet.

Outfit 2: A great ‘wear it now’ outfit, for the colder weather. A loosely wrapped scarf in a tribal print is very hot right now, and the trend will continue into the spring. The right jewelry is key with this look. I love gold with tribal prints, so the Rio Chandelier earrings and Bardot Spiral Bracelet in gold are great choices for this outfit. The green Camilla ring gives an unexpected punch of color. Add a strappy heeled sandal for spring or a brown boot for winter.

Outfit 3: A touch of animal print is always an unexpected twist – especially with a sparkling statement necklace like the Metropolitan Mixed Chain Statement Necklace. The Glint Flower CZ earrings is the way to go with this outfit. You definitely don’t want to over accessorize when you wear a statement piece like the Metropolitan.

Outfit 4: I love this look and I love statement pieces. Make a statement with the Casablanca Bib necklace. Finish the look by layering the Prosper beaded bracelet and gold devi bangles. Layered bracelets are a huge trend from the fall and winter that will continue to the spring and summer.

See? Accessories make all the difference. I love how the four looks are completely different, and all you would have to do is add accessories. Try it and you’ll find that you feel better about yourself and exude a new kind of confidence.

Are you willing to take two extra minutes to change up your look? Which of the above four looks is your favorite?

Who doesn’t love wearing the “modern day women” uniform – great pair of fitting jeans and a t-shirt!? It’s what I love to wear everyday. I like to kick it up a notch with fabulous Stella & Dot accessories from keeping it simple with everyday pieces (plural because I love to layer) to creating a focal point with a gorgeous statement piece! Most of the statement pieces that I love to wear give me a confidence boost,they can easily change your mood and change a look of drab to fab!
