Subtle Details
Subtle details truly make an outfit, in fact this seems to be a major media focus these days. So I thought I would share some of my thoughts with you on this topic.
First of all, what do I mean by subtle details? Let’s say you are wearing a solid chocolate brown dress. Obviously anyone can throw on some brown shoes, walk out the door, and look ok. However, YOU want to look fabulous. Chocolate is easy to accessorize since it’s a neutral. Maybe you put a great pair of turquoise shoes with it, a print bag, and a great pair of earrings. Or perhaps you go with a patterned shoe. There are so many ways to shake things up. The way to make your accessories less obvious is for them to coordinate, but not match.
So you if you are wearing turquoise shoes, you can stil go for a turquoise earring because the earring is so far from the shoe. We don’t suggest that you do a turquoise bag because that is too obvious. Pull another color in to your look or go for anther neutral, maybe ivory or silver. You could even grab a bright red bag, yellow, purple, or a multitude of other shades.
We also like the idea of playing with other neutral colors besides black and white. Black and white are not the only neutrals in existence. Try adding gold, silver, ivory, taupe, chocolate, or dark blue.
Adding one accessory that really pops off your outfit makes a bold statement. It could be a great piece of jewelry, scarf, bag, or shoes. Just don’t over it do it.
Stay tuned for more on this topic.
