Stretching a Minimalist Wardrobe

Pin It

The secret? Wearing accessories.

A new necklace, pair of earrings, ring, bangles, bracelets, watch, brooch or scarf can cause any outfit to turn from ordinary to well.. extraordinary.

If you’ve followed me on my other blogs for a while now, you will notice that most of the time, my outfits are pretty simple and follow this basic combination:

  • Dark jeans
  • Top
  • Jacket/Sweater
  • Boots

Other times, I’ll wear a dress (even easier, as it’s one piece).

What DOES vary from outfit to outfit, are my accessories, and it’s kind of my only obsession.

(Etsy, you devil!)

Even shoes don’t cut it.

5 reasons why accessories are great:

  1. They’re usually cheaper than buying a whole new outfit
  2. They’re light and easy to pack or travel with
  3. They can change any outfit instantly (bright colours like red or yellow are key)
  4. You can keep your essentials (the basics) forever & keep it up to date with accessories
  5. They help keep your shopping bug in check, because you’ll have so many options
