"How to Add Style to Your Wardrobe" - Kristi Childs

Kristi Childs is a church member and Independent Distributor for Premier Designs High Fashion Jewelry.

The quickest way to add style to your wardrobe is through accessories.  Accessories add flair to any basic wardrobe.  Accessories can update an old outfit.  They bring a designer look to affordable clothing.  Accessories are style—style you can create yourself.  Accessories and the ways that you wear them make a bolder statement about who you are than your clothing does.

Here are some essential items for your basic wardrobe.  An essential item is any item that is simple, classic and ever-usable.  Essentials are items that are always safe to be seen in, always appropriate to wear.

*A black pant suit                                      *A white t-shirt

*A neutral skirted suit                               *A white blouse

*A khaki trouser                                        *A black dress

*A denim shirt                                           *A pair of jeans

Essential earrings:

*Gold earrings     

*Pearl earrings     

*Silver earrings    

*Hoop earrings  

Essential necklaces:

*A single strand of pearls

*A long strand of pearls that is about 30”-36”        

*A sturdy gold or silver chain that is choker style or one that rests just above the collar bone

*A medium length gold or silver chain that is about 18”-24”

Pay attention to proportion.  You want to choose accessories that make you look taller and slimmer.  Your accessories should be in proportion to your size.  For example, tiny jewelry and small scarves can make a plus sized woman look larger while huge jewelry and big scarves can make a petite woman look even smaller.
