Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt like your outfit was missing something?
Maybe you put on your favorite dress or you paired up your best blouse and hottest jeans for date night and felt just “meh”.
You probably forgot the accessories!
This often-overlooked element will complete your look and help you get that “put-together” feeling.
Even jeans and a t-shirt look better with a belt, great shoes, and the right jewelry to complete the outfit.
It’s like the icing on the cake.
Let’s start with belts.
If the loops are there, please use them! It just gives your jeans or pants that “complete” feeling.
You can add a leopard belt to accent a solid top and pair of jeans or you can try a fun Obi belt which is fantastic for belting a loose black dress in the Summer.
Don’t forget to accessorize!
Next up: jewelry. Whether it’s earrings or a necklace, don’t forget the impact your jewelry can make on an outfit. Check out my favorites below.

Speaking of icing on the cake… my absolute favorite accessory for jeans and a t-shirt is a pair of statement earrings or a long tassel necklace, usually just one or the other for me. But if you love a good statement earring AND a long necklace, you do you! I also feel much more “complete” when I accessorize a simple outfit with a bunch of gold jewelry. Combine a pair of studs with a simple bracelet, an inital necklace, and rings and you’re accessorizing just like Jennifer Anniston.
And finally, shoes.
Don’t let them be an afterthought. Red flats are the best pop of color and sass for dark skinnies and a black tee. Strappy pumps are great for a party top and jeans… see where I’m going here? Don’t forget the effort in shoes. Below is a shoppable board, click on it and dig in!
If you think your shoe game could use a little work, check out the fun ideas above. Do you have red flats? If not, why not start there? I use my red flats whenever I need something special for a “plain” outfit like jeans and a black tank or jeans and a leopard sweater.
How about an animal print shoe? Leopard flats are a great idea, printed pumps rock, and checkout the booties too!
As always, if you’re looking for a style update and want me to help you, let’s get going. Get it done now, no more boredom with your current style.
