As a sales associate at ALDO's, I'm always updated on the latest trends, and what better way to jazz up any trend with lots and LOTS of accessories.

| PETTIJOHN ($20 ALDO) |
 |
| Tribal Studded Crossbody ($20.80 Forever21) |
These are two of my favorite!
I loveee love LOVE cross-body bags and feather earrings. And honestly, these two above go perfectly together, but you gotta know how to wear them with SWAG! I never wear both feather earrings at the same time. One feather in one ear and a stud in the other. Gives the look a real funky, hippie touch. Although I do believe the feather earrings are a bit pricey, there are places you can get them for MUCH cheaper like...

| Feather Bead Dangle Hoops ($6 Charlotte Russe) |

| Peacock Feather Teardrop Earrings ($6 Charlotte Russe) |
<---------Which to me are just as cute, a reasonable price and very UNIQUE! And here at AUF, we loveeee UNIQUE!
Accessories doesn't only consist of bags and jewelry, there are other ways you can add that extra ZING to your outfit without doing much. For Example,
THE BELT

| Skinny Belt Set ($4.50 forever21) |
Belts can do so much for shorts, a dress or even a long shirt. Skinny belts are really at high demand and EVERYONE is wearing them. I like to ear them with everything. And don't even worry about color. Don't think MATCHING think COORDINATION. Neutral-colored (whites, browns, blacks, tans) belts go with ANYTHING, Primary colors (red, yellow, blue) look GREAT on white and black. Belts with patterns should go with a solid color clothing so pattens don't clash, and ANY color belt can go great with denim of course.
Well, that's it for today's lesson. A isn't only for accessories, A is for ATTITUDE. Get creative with your outfits, make your own accessories out of old chains, fabric, buttons and other household objects. Like this chain earring I made out of an (1) old gold chain and (2)hooks from dangly earrings I didn't wear anymore. It took about five minutes to create:

This saves tons of money and best of all, you'll be the ONLY one in the world wearing it :)
Now how does that sound?
