Freshen up your wardrobe!

A hint of this and a sprinkling of that can really add fun to any outfit. Try these interesting ornamentations to bring some fresh touches to your wardrobe!

Sheer
For date night or heading to a show with the girls, try a shirt or dress with a little bit of sheer. To show of your shoulders try a top with sheer sleeves. Go with black for some mystery and class or try a colored top in navy or plum to really bring out your skin tone. Sheer, in moderation, is a great way to show your body without revealing too much.

Sequins
We’re not talking dance leotards, here – a little goes a long way. A hint of sequins in just the right place can leave a lasting impression. Try a scarf with a few pieces of sequins for sparkle, or maybe your purse has some for a little glitz. Shoes are also a great place to add a surprising dazzle. You can even find blazers with sequins as fun embellishments. Now that’s a great way to liven up a meeting!

Belts
Looking for an awesome way to add definition to your body? Flatter your figure with the addition of a belt (or a mock belt!)  Belts are meant to further enhance shapeliness. Don a suit with a mock belt or wear a blazer over a skirt and tie a belt around the blazer at your natural waist. Your torso will appear nicely proportioned to your lower half and all eyes will be on your newly noticed waist! Belts can be knotted or fastened and make a great addition to coats, dresses and more.
