Hot Damn I Love Accessories!

So jealous of this biotch's closet

My love for accessories runs deep. They are an absolute necessity in life like air, food or netflix. I’d say about half of my shopping budget goes toward shoes, jewelry, purses and anything else that catches my fashionably astute eye. My husband can fully attest to this and totally supports my borderline hoarding habit. To each his own man…he loves craft beer and I love shoes that make me feel shiny and new. He even helped me come up with a system to store my shoes. To avoid digging for them like gold at the end of a shoe-filled rainbow, he came up with the idea of converting one of our bookshelves into a shoe shelf. It worked wonderfully until we moved and my shoe shelf was converted back to a book shelf.  Eeeew.  It was fair though because I ended up getting a big ass closet with 2 door openings and a shelf inside in exchange. It’s pretty legit.

So as I was saying before I got super sidetracked, oh yes, a great purse or pair of earrings have the capacity to turn a really basic outfit into something fresh. Take this basic white tank and black pair of shorts. Seemingly, they appear to be a humdrum wardrobe choice. Womp womp. Hmmm maybe ironing the top might've helped.

However, paired with some really killer accessories and you’re in business. It’s all about makin’ a statement yo!

Here a colorful beaded necklace, hobo bag, and gladiator sandals complete a fun day time look that is comfortable and fashion forward. This outfit says “Yea, I’m ready to hit the mall and find some awesome shizz on sale. I may even get myself an Orange Julius.” Do those still exist? Their hotdogs were good.

This outfit says “Bee! Guuuuurl! Are you ready to hit up yo man Jay’s club in Las Cray-gas? But don’t invite Solange. My weave’s not on tight enough to hang wit her.” By adding a fabulous leopard sequin bag and red peep toe stilettos you renovate your basic look into night on the tizown.

So on your next shopping trip always remember what you learned here…it’s okay to be a hoarder of accessories and if you ever stop by an Orange Julius eat one of their hotdogs.
