My Top Four Accessories

ReaderQuestion

Friday's post stirred up a lot of comments about accessorizing and one of my lovely readers posed this question:
Where should I start to build my accessories??

I looked through my daily outfit posts and pinpointed four accessories that I think are a great starting point. In fact, I wear at least on of these types of items almost every day. Now, keep in mind this is on top of the earrings, bracelets and watch that are my daily go-to items.*

#1: "Non-Color" Statement Necklace in either gold and/or silver tone
To Buy: Fancy Medallions Necklace - Forever 21, $5.80 (available in gold or silver)

#2: Black Belt
To Buy: Braided Rope Belt - Forever 21, $12.80 and Winged Elastic Belt - Forever 21, $6.80

#3: Scarf
If you style tends to be more dressy then get a large square satin/silk scarf. You can wear it around your neck, as a belt, tied on your purse and more. If you tend to be more casual then get a lightweight scarf you can pair with jeans and a tee.
To Buy: Crowns & Chains Satin Scarf - Forever 21, $8.80 and Plaid Tie Dye Scarf - Forever 21, $8.80
Example of me wearing: Dressy, Dressy, Dressy and Casual

*If you want to read/see more about my daily jewelry click here. I have made a few updates to my jewels though - the Assher Cut Stud Earrings have been replaced with a pair of diamonds set in white gold earring studs that were gifted by "my girls" for my 30th b-day, the Tiffany Tag Bracelet has been replaced with this Tiffany & Co. Bracelet that Dave gave for my recent b-day as well, and lastly, my "I Love You" ring is currently MIA. I hope I find it soon because I really do miss it.
