Here’s the awful truth: our economy still isn’t getting any better, and we are all tired of hearing that awful word: recession. Everyone’s wallets are taking a hard hit right now, which leaves us with less spending money. Less spending money equals less shopping, a girl’s worst nightmare. Whoever thought you would be cursing the economy while trying to find something to wear on a Saturday night?
But don’t stress out yet. The fashion industry won’t leave you hanging. That’s right, most designers are forgetting the little black dress for now, or the super pricey tops, and focusing on accessories.
In times like these accessories can be your new best friend. They’re a cheaper way to make your outfit look like new. So here it is, a few tips to help your seemingly worn out wardrobe:
1. Scarves: You can’t go wrong with a scarf. They are popping up everywhere. Take a cute plain shirt or even a dress and add a scarf. Now you have a whole new outfit!
2. Necklaces: Is it me or are necklaces getting bigger and gaudier than ever? Embrace it. Adding a colorful or busy necklace to any outfit can spruce it up a little.
3. Handbags: Cookie cutter designer hand bags are out. Bright and bold are taking over. You can find very reasonable handbags and purses to add color to your wardrobe.
4. Shoes: It’s summer and who wants to run around in gym shoes? Sandals are everywhere. And not just your boring old Old Navy flip flops. Gladiator sandals with tons of straps and neutral colors go with just about anything, and they’re super cute too!
