The Art of Accessorizing

We love fall fashion here at Flourish! There are so many looks and styles to enjoy. One of the best ways to add variety to your wardrobe is to learn the art of accessorizing. Not only is it quick, but it can add a great deal of versatility to your closet. Plus, fall is the perfect time to try out layering and adding adorable accessories! Here are a few essential accessories for fall.

Scarves: Not only do they look great, but they're practical as well! Scarves can help keep you warm on chilly days. There are so many different ways to tie a scarf that you can even change it up for a different look. Scarves can be relatively inexpensive, which is all the more reason to try out different colors and styles!

Bags: Every lady needs a good bag and, more often than not, she probably has a lot of good bags. If you have multiple bags at home, this is a great option for changing up your look. College ladies, especially, try alternating the bag you carry around campus as an easy stylish accessory.

Boots: Oh, boots. If you're anything like us here at Flourish, then you probably love boots too. So many styles, colors and looks! Although, buying multiple pairs of boots can get expensive, try alternating the boots your do have with different outfits. This will change the whole look of your outfit with just a switching of your boots! Or try adding leg warmers or boot socks for a different style element.

Fall is such a great time to add some fashion forward accessories! Experiment with what you already have in your closet and add a few new fun pieces to the mix. Happy fall styling!

Keep Your Summer Wardrobe Alive

As we come to the end of July, it feels like summer is quickly escaping our grasp. The boutique is beginning to transition from bright summer colors to earthy tones for fall. However, if you are anything like us, we're not ready to kiss summer style goodbye just yet. So, the question at hand is how do you expand your wardrobe with fall colors but still keep the summer feel. It's probably a lot easier than you think. 

The simplest way to keep summer fashion alive this time of year is to mix and match. As earthy and subtle tones make their way out, use bright spring and summer colors to keep it fresh. Whenever you decide on a darker outfit, use jewelry or a cardigan to add a pop of color. 

These great transition outfits are all gorgeous earthy tones. They will look fabulous as we transition into fall.

 

Use accessories like bold statement necklaces, bags or cover ups to add a little spunk to your attire.

 

The great thing about mixing and matching is that it doesn't require a new wardrobe for each time the seasons change. Just be creative with the options in your closet. Try something a little different with outfits you would typically only wear during a specific season. You probably won't realize the full potential of your closet without a little mix and match session!

Make A Statement

One of the best ways to make a statement with your wardrobe this season is with your jewelry. Statement necklaces are big and beautiful! With the temperature getting warmer, the last thing you want to do is to add layers for variety, so strutting a bold necklace is definitely the way to go. Between different colored stones, geometric shapes and metal shades, the options are endless for the style of accessories you can find. Even if you're comfortable with your favorite necklace, give a statement piece a try. You may be surprised with how fabulous it looks!

Bright colorful pieces are great with solid or simple designs. They add an extra bit of personality to your outfit. Try a bright color with one of your favorite tops and wear it with confidence!
