Once a year In Style Magazine comes out with a special “Makeover” issue. It usually hits the stands the end of July. I believe it is actually an extra issue. This year Rachel Bilson graces the cover.
An article that caught my eye was entitled, 50 Best Fashion Tips of All Time. I thought it would be fun to start a new short series to take the place of my, “Things I Love..” and feature a TOP ALL TIME TIP once a week. Not to worry, I’m not covering all 50 simply because I don’t feel that passionate about ALL 50.
I tried to find the article online for you to skim, but it doesn’t appear to be available. It seems that other fashion bloggers had the same idea when I did my search. There were many versions all In Style inspired.
It won’t surprise you that I chose to start with accessories. I’ve talked about adding color in several posts the last year.
My First All Time Top Tip: ACCESSORIZE IN BRIGHTS
Many women feel more comfortable in neutrals. They feel very conspicuous in bright colors and don’t want to stand out. I understand. Add your color with accessories. Add the color with 1-3 accessories but I would not add more than 3 pops of color. I like keeping some accessories neutral. For example choose shoes and a handbag in two different complementary colors. Start with a darker color that might appear to be a little more safe, yet still catch a little attention. Dark green, purple or burgundy might be a good choice. This is a good stepping stone before adding yellow or bright red.
I like to add color with jewelry, but for this post I kept it to handbags and shoes.

These selections came from Online Shoes which has a special promo going on right now: 20% off $80 purchase. Use the code 1Joy. I had fun searching their new arrivals. I sure am not ready for fall, but it is fun to look.
