Accessorize your life

When the sun starts to beam and you are able to see it piercing through the skies, I start to get excited. It means my closest can be turned over from the fuzzy fall sweaters and winter shades of grey. I can start to pay attention to the brights, lights and lovely clothes, who I have missed dearly.

Like the flowers who have just showed face, my wardrobe in the summer needs a little bit of sunlight and water to grow. I go through my closet and figure out what I have and most importantly what fits well. Then I try to figure out ways I can reinvent my looks so my summer wardrobe is not the same as last year. In other words, I accessorize my life.

One way I do this is to select my favorite tank tops and blouses and find accessories which will compliment each piece. Then, this gives me an excuse to go shopping, I can see what looks I gravitate towards and determine ways I can spice them up.

For example, I have a Michael Stars high-low skirt which is a forest green and is super cute. It can be paired with practically anything. It is a "neutral" in it's own way. I wanted to make it a cute, night on the town look and found the perfect pair of wedges to wear with the skirt and then accessorized with leather bracelets, leather necklace and more leather. It is fun to mix this thicker type of fabric like leather in a summer look because it is not expected. 

Look great & love it

We love finding things that are different, unique but most importantly something that can truly make a statement. If you are like me, then you love to people watch. I love to go out to fun venues, listen to music and enjoy festivities but the best part is people watching. I love to see what people are wearing and try to determine, why. For some, it is easy to determine their style, likes and dislikes. However for others it can be a little difficult.  For everyone though, we love to look great and feel great. What that looks like and what they feels like maybe different but ultimately that is the goal. And when you are people watching in a crowd, you can pin point those people that are just enjoying themselves and it gets me excited.

While we would like to think the "Sisterhood of Traveling" pants were true, it really is only a dream. There is no onesize fits all look, style or color but what makes shopping at The Statement so much fun is when you find something that you look great in and that  you truly love. It is a treasure hunt but once you find the gold, you will know!
