  • You can choose your accessories in the same color as the primary color of your outfit. It doesn’t have the be the same exact shade though. It can be lighter or deeper.
  • Match them with the secondary color. If your dress is deep blue but has yellow details then you can carry purses and shoes in different shades of yellow.
  • Pair them as complementary colors according to the image above.
  • Pair solid colors with patterns. If you wear a blue dress then add accessories with a colorful pattern with blue in the mix. Or vice-versa.

2. Something About Jewelry: Can make or break any look.

  • Wear only one statement piece. too many can be overwhelming.
