Summer Style Starts With The Right Accessories

We love accessories…they are truly like the frosting on the cake. They complete your outfit and add so much to the overall appearance. Many of the accessories we have chosen are a functionally needed item for your outfit such as belts. Other times the accessories we choose are ornamental or serve as a statement piece.

When thinking of accessories imagine buttery soft leather bags or glittering statement earrings. A hat (if you are comfortable in them) can also elevate an outfit!

We have always recognized how important accessories are. Accessories are also pretty personal meaning what accessories we like you may not! Your accessories really speak volumes about your individuality. In other words, some women love fine and dainty bracelets and other love chunky bracelets. It is all good!

We have put together a few of our favorite accessories this season! Hope these summer style boards will inspire you or help you when you are trying to style your own outfit.

Summer Style Starts With The Right Accessories

Accessories #1

Target Raffia Belt / Lele Sadoughi Adjustable Belt / J McLaughlin Tortoise Belt

We both love to belt dresses…often a dress comes with a tie belt in the same material as the dress itself and to amp the outfit up a little adding your own belt looks so much better! Raffia as far as we are concerned is a summer staple and this cute belt from Target is perfect!!

Accessories # 2

Lands End Raffia Belt / Madewell Metal Ring Belt / Anthropologie Raffia Belt / Madewell Western Belt

Bev purchased the Lands End Belt and it is a great belt for the price. The black and neutral raffia will complement most outfits and can be worn over dresses and with skirts. We both own the Madewell Western Belt and it continues to be one of our favorites! It is currently 25% off too! Bonus!

Accessories # 3

Michael Kors Athena Clutch / Frances Valentine Betta Clutch / Arezzo Carmela Shopper Bag / Olga Berg Kaia Bag

The Michael Kors Athena bag is a clutch and a crossbody too. It is a fun summer bag that truly fits everything you need! Frances Valentine has some of the most beautiful bags and this black clutch is a perfect example! It is a boucle clutch with a cute beaded betta fish and feather embellishment.

Accessories # 4

Target Straw Kiss Bag / Tuckernuck Esme Bag / BTB Los Angeles Louis Bag / Donna Karan Cashmere Bag / Dune London Bag

We just had to showcase this great bag from Target…only $30 and it has a spacious main compartment and an inner pocket. Bev loves it and it looks so good with so many summer outfits. The BTB bag is definitely a bag that goes with everything! Val has one similar to this bag and gets stopped often by women wanting to know where to get it!! A great summer accessory!

Accessories # 5

Vimhue Cap / J Crew Packable Hat / Lands End Wide Brim Hat / San Diego Hat Company Bucket Hat

The Vimhue hat is a perfect hat to wear if you enjoy outdoor sports! It is UPF 50+, you can wear it with a low or high ponytail and it doesn’t give you a headache when wearing! We both own these hats and recommend them!

Accessories # 6

San Diego Hat Co. Hat / Brixton Carolina Fedora / Brixton Lyons Fedora

The fedora hats definitely will elevate your look this summer. They look great with sundresses and will protect your skin from the suns damaging rays.

Accessories # 7

Ettika Nugget Necklace / Ettika Swirl Earrings / Frances Valentine Cabo Stacked Bracelet

We cannot say enough how much we love these stackable bracelets from Frances Valentine! They come in so many different colors and are under $100. The quality is exceptional too!

Accessories # 8

Julie Vos Statement Cuff / Julie Vos Sahara Earrings / Julie Vos Sahara Necklace

The silver collection from Julie Vos! What can we say…..it is beautiful and if you like silver it may be jewelry you will consider purchasing. The statement cuff can be dressed up or down…worn with jeans or a dress and it looks good either way!!
