There are times when you feel like your wardrobe is looking pretty good. You’ve built up amazing pieces that you can’t wait to wear more of, and yet you still feel like something is lacking when you get ready for the day…
So here’s the thing. We’ve seen fashion bloggers rise to the forefront of social media, always looking impeccable, and consequently raising our standards of day-to-day fashion. Many places that weren’t necessarily “fashion capitals” of the world have become much more fashion forward – both cities and small towns – because of online and social media exposure.
The point is, I’m pretty sure it’s safe to say that this blogger presence has got us all feeling like #wardrobegoals.
How do they look so polished all the time? Even in their topknots and low buns they ooze glamour and style.
The answer is accessories. Yes, they have amazing clothes, but have you ever noticed the layers of jewellery that bloggers wear, or the fun little scarves and amazing hats that show up again and again in their posts? Their ever-present sunnies add a hint of allure, and they always have a beautiful bag.
So here are my tips for accessorizing like a fashion blogger:
1. Invest in a great bag (and keep your sunnies in it, year round)!

2. Add skinny scarves and bandanas to your spring wardrobe.

3. Top your outfit off with a gorgeous hat, whenever possible.

4. Layer on simple jewellery, but be careful not to overdo it when wearing statement pieces.
