Giorgio Armani once said “Accessories are important and
becoming more and more important every day. They can completely change the look
of an outfit, and women like the idea of having a wardrobe that's versatile”
and boy was he right. No outfit is complete without a few accessories, but that
doesn’t mean stack bracelets up to your elbows. Since accessories are such a
big part of fashion and spring is just getting started, I figured it was only
right to talk about what accessories are perfect for adding some pizazz to your
spring wardrobe.


Looks like everyone is becoming believers in the phrase “opposites
attract”considering the color combo of black and white is trending in both
clothes and accessories. The color combo is such a classic that it is always in
style, but now more than ever it is making a statement. From bags to shoes, it
seems that people just can’t get enough, including me. You can take a black and
white bag, like the one from Marc Jacobs, and either pair it with more black
and white or make it a statement piece and wear it with a colored outfit. A
great thing about this trend is that it matches everything, which means you
will get a lot of use out of any black and white accessory you choose to add
into your spring wardrobe.


This next trend is totes amaze….I honestly hate when people
say
that, but since totes are trendy I felt that it was fitting. Now I love a
good tote, but there are some definite positives and negatives about them. A
positive is that you can fit everything in it. A negative is that you can fit
everything in it. It seems to be a win-lose situation because I love being able
to carry quite a few things around in my tote, but the second I need one of
those objects it becomes impossible to find. Totes are fantastic, but someone
should do something about them turning into a black hole whenever you need to
find something. However, I still own many totes and you should to because they
are always nice to have around and add a great touch to any outfit. To take you
tote from average to trendy, purchase a structured one. I like the structured ones
quite a bit more than their opposite, but I have yet to purchase one. I definitely
will though considering how many great ones there are!

I would have to say this next trend is quite transparent,
and I actually mean it. Whether you want a see through bag or a pair of clear
heels, this trend has got you covered. I am not sure how I feel about this
because if you had a pair of clear shoes couldn’t everyone see how sweaty your
feet are?Also I don’t have the prettiest feet so I don’t plan on purchasing
transparent shoes anytime soon. A few years ago I saw a transparent bag and
wanted one so bad, but it cost over $100, and I was not paying that. Now there
are so many clear bags made not only by well-known designers like Stella McCartney,
but in stores like Forever 21. Along with purses and shoes are bracelets and
rings, which I quite like. I think they add a bit of spunk to your outfit, and
I am all for a bit of spunk.


Trends aren’t just
for fashion, but for our wellbeing as well. Oversized sunglasses not
only make a statement, but also protect a lot of the skin around our eyes from
sun damage. It is so nice to see that the fashion industry cares about us in
that way. Whether or not this is the actual reason oversized sunglasses are
trending I don’t care. As you saw in my last post “Spring Break Haul” I bought
a pair of cat eye sunglasses that I am now wearing every single day. I absolutely
love them because they are quite adorable and edgy all at the same time. I
highly advise that everyone get a pair of oversized sunglasses because once you
have you won’t want to lose them. While I love the cat eye shape, there are so
many other shapes as well, and I am sure there is one for every shape of face.
Buy a pair and you won’t regret it! Also, I really want both of these pairs soooooo so so bad!


Statement pieces are a big deal right now. This trend is
focused on rings and necklaces, and the more attention-grabbing the better. I
have been searching everywhere for the perfect statement necklace, and although
I haven’t found one yet I am not giving up. I found the cutest ring on
Pinterest, but I know it is expensive (I am too scared to look at the actual
price), so I am going to continue admiring it through a screen. If you like chunky
beads, this trend is for you. If you like feathers, this trend is for you. If
you like sparkles, this trend is for you. With statement pieces anything goes.
The trick is that you have to make the necklace or ring the focus of your
outfit, and not the clothes themselves. To pull off a statement piece you need
to keep your outfit basic and build around the necklace or ring. I love this
trend and don’t see it going anywhere anytime soon.
These are just a few of my favorite spring accessory trends,
and there are many more. If you have been looking for the perfect accessory for
your wardrobe, I hope this post helps you out. Until next time…
Fashionately,
Sarah
