Accessories, A Styling Suggestion

by Sasha Manuel on May 8th, 2006

I find inspiration in accessories. They give me ideas on what I want to buy for a top, bottom, other accesories and even shoes.

If you’re wondering how I do it, well, let me give you an example.

My new hat.

I love it. I’ve always loved hats. It’s my fetish. It makes me sad sometimes on how it is in my country that it’s not socially acceptable to wear one. That is if you don’t want to be ridiculed, or made fun of. It simply isn’t normal. Heh.

However, there is a change in trends so it’s slowly becoming part of everyone’s outfits. Some still look utterly awkward but hey — I’ve got to hand it to them for trying! I love people who dares to explore fashion with boldness. ;)

Anyway, going back to my point. When I bought my hat, my mind was busy thinking of the outfits I can come up with using the said accessory. I ended up buying a few more things because of it. Ah, well — gave me more reason to buy the items I already wanted to buy in the first place. Hehehe.

So, there you go. It didn’t just complement my already set look I’ve got going for my fashionable self, it also gave me new ideas of different looks I can now experiment with. Hahaha.

I know some of you buy accessories to go with clothes you already have but perhaps it’s a good idea to turn the table, try buying an accessory, which you can build a look on. Or perhaps you have one in your dresser that you’ve overlooked all these years you’ve own it and view it in a different light. You’ll be surprised on how things can turn out.

Tip: Head on over to S.P. Bragg’s Her Accessories, she can give you a glimpse of what’s out there.

And like I always say, go have fun and experiment! :)
