Using the full potential of accessories

We've reached day 6 of the New Year Style Challenge and the theme of the day is: do you use the full potential of your accessories? As an additional challenge, we have to choose an outfit and accessorise it in three different ways - how could I resist?


This is the basic outfit: my new lobelia top from Kettlewell and a pair of charcoal trousers from Marks and Spencer. It's an outfit that is ideal for wearing for both casual and slightly smarter occasions.

These are some of my day to day accessories:

 

However sometimes I prefer a dressier look, in which case I might choose the following accessories:



Or how about these funky accessories?
It's all too easy to get into the habit of wearing a particular outfit in a particular way. It's either a casual outfit or one of your smarter ones. Even a pair of jeans can be worn in the evening with a dressy top, some killer heels and a statement necklace - and look completely different. I already own the silver cascade cardigan, so now all I have to do is buy those wedge shoes and the handbag to create a totally different outfit! Or maybe the zebra cuff, gorgeous rose silk handbag or skull print scarf?

  1. Don't know what happened to the layout here - it looked perfect before I published it. It's nearly midnight, so maybe that's the problem!

    1. I love it too! It is showing as out of stock, however it's possible they will get more in. Here's the link:http://www.funkyaccessories.com/gorgeous-rose-silk-handbag.html
