Vanessa's Digital Dialogue

With an increased popularity surrounding more timeless outfits for this summer, it can become difficult to add dimension to simplistic outfits. Therefore here I have suggested 3 ways in which you could add statement accessories to outfits that you already own and instantly radiate cool girl energy. These are all pieces which you could easily find in charity shops for reasonable prices whilst also helping to save the environment.

The first accessory that I think you should add to your wardrobe is a chunky statement belt. These belts exuberate the cowgirl chic aesthetic and as you can see here have been layered on top of simple outfits that are mostly monochromatic. I particularly enjoy the look of the belt on a low rise skirt as I think this is the most flattering way of styling it, they also look amazing on top of a summery mini dress.

The incorporation of a statement necklace is the perfect way to dictate the aesthetic of your outfit. As seen above, the starfish necklaces are a great piece to be worn with bikinis on beach days and on holiday. Similarly to the belts, this jewellery works beautifully with a simple vest top as it acts as the eye-catching element of the outfit. They are also great in the summer when the humidity makes your hair difficult to manage as they draw attention to your neckline.

The final statement accessory that I have included here are chunky waist chains, both beaded and string. This piece work extremely well with low rise bottoms as the jewellery is able to sit just above the low rise waist line. I think that this is a very flattering elevation of the outfit and you will notice that some of these waist chains look similar to that of the necklaces mentioned above. Therefore you could acquire a piece that is both a necklace and waist chain and thus a more sustainable purchase.
