Category: Clothing | Posted on Jul 13, 2012
"In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different." - Coco Chanel
And so we start the quest to look ‘different’ preparing in full glam to get the right look. Let’s begin the jaunt to dress best and choose what fits the mood of today.
It is well noted that all girls pay high attention towards shopping the latest trend and stacking every possible style that tops the fashion chart. You will find wide flared Palazzo pants, Pop colored denims, Crop tops, Asymmetrical patterns, Tie front tops, Light weight fabrics, Neon Hues at every fashion forward retail store. But seldom do we pay attention to that one little piece of add-on that has the ability to enhance the entire outfit and magnify the impact to manifolds. And that li’l cherry on the icing is the accessories.
You shall always find a small section of fashion retail stores with a dedicated portion to accessories. To complete the ensemble, THAT one piece of accessory could make the required ‘difference’ that Chanel talks about.
To facilitate your shopping spree, we have segmented the accessories in the three broad categories. Are you the one who loves to don the contemporary fashion? Then Vintage Verve section of accessories is just right for you. The embellished accessories provide you with an aesthetic appeal and contemporize your look with subtle gracefulness.
If you want to dress without being out-there-loud, the trendy accessories are the right type for you. These kinds of accessories become an integral part of the attire that compliments your over all look.
If you are the bold one and aspire to stand out of the crowd with the boisterous flare of fashion, then you belong to the statement strikers with the choice of accessories which makes one stand out.
Here are some of the DO’s and DO NOT’s that you could follow while shopping for accessories.
  • If you have simple outfits and uncomplicated silhouettes, you can go for a piece of statement jewelry and add definition to your look.
  • Golden and silver are the forever classics that could go with any style and color. But mixing both of them in a single look is a big No-No.
  • A lot of Bling worn together might make you look like a Christmas tree, which should not be the aim.
  • You can wear contrasting colors in apparel and jewelry and derive a look. Matching heels with a similar color bag with contrasting color of clothes could fetch the desired look whilst making the best of the style.
So keeping in mind the above, Shop to the best of you, for you.
Happy Shopping!
