To accessorize or not to accessorize. That is never the question! You should always accessorize; it’s just a matter of how much you want to accessorize and what you want to accessorize with. I’m always looking for ways to extend my accessory options and I’ve found quite a few awesome ones in recent weeks, so I’ve collected them here to share with you whether you’re a mom showing off your favorite job or a cool guy in the market for a new wallet.
My favorite way to accessorize is with jewelry, but I’ve been expanding into hats and I found some pretty cool hats I just had to share. The bucket hat is back, y’all, so you can be sure she makes an appearance on the list. And I cannot make an accessories list without including at least one rattan bag. I can’t help it! They’re so chic! Enjoy.
Let Everyone Know What Your Favorite Job Is
If you’re a mama, it’s likely that you absolutely love being one, and if you absolutely love being one, this necklace is for you. This necklace tells everyone that sees you that you love your kiddos and it’s an easy and subtle way to add some shine to your everyday look.
Use Your Voice
It’s important to let the world know where you stand on important issues, especially issues as important as Black Lives Matter. This pin is just one tiny step you can take to show your support as an ally and it can even be a great conversation starter for others that may not know enough about the issue.
Effortlessly Chic Earrings
I’ve never seen earrings so simply chic and I love them! They look like you’ve threaded gold through your ears, which… I guess you have? But it looks far fancier than it is, and that’s always the kind of accessory you want to go with!
Butterflies, But Make Them High Fashion
As Y2K fashion makes its comeback, so do butterflies everywhere. It’s hard to make butterflies high fashion and not full cheese, but this gorgeous gold necklace accomplishes it! It’s delicate, beautiful, and goes with just about anything in your closet.
Simple Studs
These flower studs are a simple way to make a beautiful statement and they’re a great option for classing up your simple work look or your everyday athleisure wear. I love wearing these with a sundress or with a simple jeans and t-shirt combo.
The Ultimate Gold Hoop
I mean it! This hoop is everything. It’s just so classy and fun and it really adds something classic to your silhouette, no matter what else you’ve got on. This hoop fits in with your fancy outfits and with your everyday garb, which is what you want from your jewelry.
Tell Them Who You Are
Let them know who you are; a basic witch, y’all! I’ll take that title any day of the week. This cutie enamel pin would look so fun and edgy on your favorite jean jacket or maybe on the front of your best canvas tote, just as long as you’re showing it off to all.
An Otherworldly Element
This pin really screams “sci-fi nerd” in the best possible way. It’s one step away from “the truth is out there” and it stays in the fun, campy category while still managing to be something you would love to rock on your pinned-up jacket.
Wear It On Your Wrist
If necklaces aren’t your thing, this simple bracelet is a great way to let the world know what’s most important to you — being a mom. This makes a great gift from you to you or from you to your partner, parent, or sibling; all the moms in your life!
Subtle Flash
These dangling earrings are awesome because they’re flashy but not overwhelming. You can wear them with most outfits for just about any occasion or event that may come up as a way to add a little bit of individualistic flair to whatever you have on.
Keep It Simple
Stud earrings are the best way to keep your ear décor subtle while still adding some fun and excitement to your outfit. These gorgeous, sparkling studs are simple but they pack a pretty punch with the gorgeous opal feature and the striking dagger shape.
Bring Boho Back
Boho was very trendy just a few years ago and, frankly, I think it should still be trendy! Boho is the easiest style to wear since everyone looks good in it! If you’re trying to bring boho back, these earrings are the perfect place to start.
An Unexpected Piece
Jewelry can get pretty repetitive but this necklace is a stunning piece that has a lot of depth and excitement. It’s sort of an elevated version of the neon paper clip necklaces some of us used to rock as punk/emo kids in high school, and I’m really into it.
Layer Those Chains
There are a lot of layered necklace sets out there, but not very many of them are dainty and elegant. This set achieves a lovely layered look and dainty elegance. They’re not easily tangled like the necklaces you try to stack for yourself, so this is a must if you’re going for that look.
Show Your Love for the Siren
The coffee siren and the gym siren. This cute keychain lets everyone know what your two favorite activities are; drinking coffee and pumping iron. Everyone knows you take no days off! It’s a fun, small keychain that won’t weigh your keys down, but will add some fun flair.
She a Thicky
I love fries and I love thighs and this awesome keychain combines my love of both. Thick-Fil-A is my new favorite term and I bought this awesome keychain without a second of hesitation. Everyone who sees it cracks up, so if you’re looking for a fun conversation piece, you’ve found it!
Rock the Rattan
Rattan is very in right now along with the cottage core vibe. This bag gives you cottage core but is much sturdier because so many of those products are pretty dainty. You can store your wallet, keys, phone, and sunglasses in here — more space than any purse I’ve gotten before!
Up Your Hair Game
Your hair shouldn’t be an afterthought, but sometimes that’s unavoidable. These clips are a great way to make it seem like you spent far more time on your hair than you truly did. It gives a finished look and some jazz to your unfinished styles.
These Scream “Brittney Circa ‘93”
What’s more fashionable than these super gorg sunglasses that are absolutely something Brittney would have rocked back in ’93? I love them! They give you sun coverage, but they’re still fun and funky so you can show off your interesting side and fit in with the youths.
Make a Statement
This necklace is what we used to call “collar necklaces” back in high school, and they were all the rage. They’re making a comeback and I’m grateful because I’ve got ten I’ve held onto that need to see the light of day again! Great to jazz up your favorite tank.
Shapes, Shapes, Shapes
You want some interesting and exciting shapes? We’ve got ‘em! This pack of clips comes with six differently shaped metal statement pieces that you’ll love to clip your hair back with. A quick but stylish way to do something with your messy bedhead when you’re running late to work.
Initial Necklaces, But High Fashion
Initial necklaces were not high fashion when I was younger. They were sort of lame. But thanks to modern fashion trends, they’re back now and far more exciting and fashionable than ever before! This necklace set is stacked and layered for the ultimate initial statement piece.
Catch Their Eyes
These bracelets are eye-catching in the best way. They’re such an exciting statement piece and it gives a sort of effortless glam look to your outfits. You could rock these with a white tee and jeans or even with your favorite little black dress.
You’ll Never Need Another Purse
This set has it all! You’ve got a wallet, a purse, a clutch, and a tote. And they all match! This super affordable set ensures you’re ready to go on your next beach trip or it’s the perfect replacement for that ten-year-old bag you’ve been carrying around since high school.
Go the Hobo Chic Route
The hobo bag is an underappreciated trend that I managed to miss the first time around. Thankfully, she’s making a comeback. The leather on this purse is just so loose and worn feeling without also looking like it’s old or battered. It’s buttery soft and the best accessory for any occasion.
Replace That Old Wallet
It’s time to let it go. I get it, I do! My husband was really attached to his old wallet, but when I bought him this one he realized just what he’d been missing. This has all the slots you need for your cards, your cash, and maybe even a picture of your honey.
The Ultimate Travel Wallet
I carry this with me every time I travel! Everything I need can fit in here, even my passport, and it’s not too big that I start to stuff unnecessary things in there either, which is important for me! Phone, passport, and all of my payment options. Love it!
A Simple Clutch
This clutch has just the right amount of room for all you want to bring with you for a night on the town or just to run around on errands. The colors are classic and will pair perfectly with your favorite fancy outfits or blend right in with your everyday looks.
Go Small or Go Home
That’s the phrase, right? Okay, it’s not, but it’s funny! This wallet is micro-sized, but it’s one of the best options for those of you out there, like me, that have a tendency to over-carry. You can only take what you need in this guy and it fits in all of your purses, even the little ones.
Stuff It All In
Not your emotions, of course, that’s unhealthy, but all of your clothes and other traveling necessities. This duffel is a great carry-on option for your next vacation with plenty of space and minimal pockets so you can just stuff it all in and go.
For Those Bad Hair Days
We all have them at least once, but they always surprise us. This Adidas cap covers a multitude of hair sins and gives you the appearance of having gone to the gym and that’s the reason your hair is a mess, whether or not that’s the actual truth.
Retro Vibes are In
I love these retro sunnies. They really give a great silhouette without overtaking your outfit. They’re a great way to add a stylish flair, or you can dress down and let them take center stage, they’re adaptable like that, and who doesn’t love an adaptable accessory?
Bucket Hats are Back!
Is anyone else as excited as I am? Probably not, but that’s okay. Bucket hats are so easy to wear and look good on just about anyone. They give you the appearance of being effortlessly cool even if you spend twenty minutes trying to choose the perfect color.
Keep It Simple
This wristwatch wasn’t designed to stand out, and because of that, it makes a statement in the best way. This gorgeous and simple watch pairs wonderfully with your favorite outfits and adds a more put-together appearance to your off-duty clothes so you seem professional 24/7.
Classy Broads Only
This is the ultimate classy broads watch. It gives 1950s movie star vibes and I’m living for it! You can pair this with your favorite suit or that gorgeous black dress you’ve been saving for a special occasion. I’d wear it with my everyday wear, but it might be a little too fancy for the grocery store, so that’s your choice.
Carhartt Makes Hats?
They do now! Maybe they have forever, but if so I’ve just discovered them. My husband adores the Carhartt hat we just bought him and it pairs pretty well with his coveralls. He also rocks it with his everyday streetwear, so it’s pretty dang versatile.
Keep Blue Lights Back
If you spend a lot of time sitting in front of a screen, like myself, it’s likely that you occasionally find yourself suffering from headaches. When that happens, the first step to take is to try blue light-blocking glasses, like these awesome ones, as they reduce the light that brings on those gross headaches.
