Don’t Forget to Accessorize

Posted in Fall Fashion tagged , , , , , , , at 10:00 am by S&P Editor

You have the perfect dress, shoes and handbag . . . but if you think the Stylin’ & Profilin’  way, then you already know it’s the accessories that make the outfit. Put it this way: the clothes are your foundation,  the shoes and handbag add layers, while jewelry completes the look and gives it “wow” factor.

Good thing for all of you accessories lovers that many of the fall runway shows were heavy, literally, on the jewelry. Bringing back life to a trend made popular decades ago: statement pieces. That old saying “less is more” doesn’t apply here. From necklaces to rings to bracelets — the bigger, the chunkier, the better.

But don’t think you need to run out to the nearest designer jewelry or high-end department store to cop these looks. You can get them for cheap at your local mall.
