How To Re-Purpose Women’s Clothing Accessories

Women love the changing of seasons. They are a perfect excuse for shopping. Though there are only four climate seasons, there are different buying seasons within those climates. However, as the dollar gets stretched more and more, you may find it tough to create justifications for spending those hard earned bills on yet another pair of shoes. Well cheer up. There is a way to revamp that existing foot ware without breaking the bank. It is through accessorizing. I don’t mean buying a three digit priced handbag to go with your existing outfit. It is with simple little items that are overlooked in favor of the higher priced garments and bags.

You’ll usually find these items at the check out as a final point of purchase at the register. But rather than ending your shopping journey there, why not start at that point. When it comes to getting the most out of accessories, you have to think outside the box. If you have earrings, don’t just stop at your ears. Those little things not only bring attention to your lobes, they will also give pizazz to your shoes, jacket, hat, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. If you give a little thought, you can create styles that make you the envy of your peers. You may even have a budding career on your hands.

How many times have you run yourself ragged trying to find a particular shoe for an outfit you have only to be frustrated and no closer to a solution? Well, why not first stop at the jewelry counter and look for any clip on that your can use for shoes you already have. You can clip it to the front vamp of the shoe or hang it to the side to create a stunning look that will have people asking you where did you get those beautiful shoes. Another style trick is to take a sheer scarf and brooch. Loosely wrap the scarf around your neck as a choker; then attach the brooch to the front. You could also use a sheer scarf as a camisole for a low cut dress and put a lapel pin or brooch on it.

Another use for a scarf is to use it as a midriff wrap for a tight fitting dress, Just wrap it and pin it with a decorative accessory. To get an idea of how this works and what colors work. Just visit your book store and look through fashion magazines or go online and do a search. Many women tend to turn away from the huge hanging ornate earrings. So much so that those are usually the first to go on clearance. It’s not that they are all that unappealing, they just can’t imagine wearing that type of jewelry often enough to justify buying it. Not to mention running the risk of elongating your ear lobe holes from the weight of them. Well, take those same earrings and attached them to either side of your dress jacket and you just created a brand new item. All it takes is a little forethought to build an enviable wardrobe on a budget.
