SpringtimeAccessories
Springtime is here and nothing complements the floral dresses, espadrilles, capri’s, and mini skirts better than these top accessories. For centuries accessorizing has been an essential aspect of fashion and styling. When we think of a lady sitting in a meadow, we can link a picturesque image of it to a pretty necklace sitting softly over her sheer dress. Better yet, a trendy day in the big city can be easily associated with a silk scarf over a bold orange colored Birkin bag, parading around town with a latté and your best worn smile. The small things in life are what enhance meaning, which is the motto behind styling with accessories. Here are the top 10 picks of the season that should make their way into your closet or at least make you think twice about certain looks!

Or the Gucci printed silk twill scarf around a small cross body bag or around your neck in a bold red blouse with jeans. Anything is possible when thinking of the ways you can mix and match the options with what you have or what you’d love to add!
