What Every Fashion Forward Woman Should Have In Her Closet

Affordable Accessories For Women

Who doesn’t love to find affordable accessories for women?  Most ladies out there love to find a good bargain and if they can come across one that looks luxurious, that is even better.  I think most women have a favorite accessory that they have more of than anything else in their closet.  My oldest daughter is a sucker for a great looking shoe and she has a pretty good collection of them.  For me, I am a handbag hoarder!  You won’t find me on one of those television shows, but I do have more handbags than I probably need.  If you aren’t sure what staples you should have in your closet, here is a list to help get you started:

1. The little black dress is a must have for a woman.  With this item you can transform it by adding other accessories and apparel to it.  If you are off to work but have a dinner date later, throw a blazer over the dress for the outfit and replace that jacket with a beautiful scarf and a great pair of earrings and a matching bracelet.

• A white button down shirt is something you can wear to an important meeting at work as well as with a pair of jeans over the weekend.  At work, wear this white shirt that has been pressed with a bit of starch, with a pencil skirt, a subdued jacket or an elegant cashmere sweater.  If you are heading out to meet the girls for lunch, you can wear the shirt with a pair of jeans, cute ballet flats and some chunky jewelry.
• A skinny belt as well as a wider belt can add another dimension to an outfit.  If you are wearing a dress or sweater that needs a little something, add a skinny belt.  For a more casual look, you can wear a wider belt with a pair of jeans or trousers.
• One item every girl needs more than one of is a handbag or purse.  In order to have a bag that suits the occasion, it is best to have three different sizes; small, medium and large.  For that night out on the town, you want to have a small hand bag or clutch that can hold your basic necessities.  If you are off to work, you will want a medium sized purse that is big enough to fit all you need for the day.  If you are heading to the beach or park for a day out, you should grab your large tote to keep your snacks, sunscreen and other items.
