Invest in Accessories for the New Year:
5 Ways to Beat the Recession in Your Closet

Carla Eustache, Owner of Boutique Finesse ~

We may be facing an economic recession, but that doesn't have to cramp your style.
Accessories are the perfect way to expand your wardrobe, without breaking the bank.
Invest in unique, colorful and affordable accessories; you'd be surprised by how many
looks are instantly at your fingertips.

1. Be classy. Go back to the basics. A nice fitted white t-shirt and jeans can go a long
way when accessorized! Re-invent your casual look with colorful and/or oversized
jewelry. In the winter go uber-glamorous with your classic look by combining the
following key accessories: bracelet with large jewels, bedazzled tear drop earrings, and
a long necklace with a jewel pendant; complete the look of sophistication with black
satin pumps a black faux-fur shrug.

2. Be daring. Mix and match. You don't always have to wear the same color
accessories with an outfit. Be unexpected; pair new colors together to compliment your
outfit.

3. Be resourceful. Resuscitate the old. Give life to the bracelets and necklaces at the
back of your drawer by adding new pieces to the mix. Layering gold or silver necklaces
with a necklace adorned with a colorful charm will give you a fun new style and
stacking bracelets will give you a bold look.

4. Be fashionable. Give it some time. Wearing fashion accessories shows that you care.
Taking the time out to compliment your outfit with jewelry or a chic handbag says a lot
about you and your style. So go back to the jewelry box and spend a little "QT" creating
new and trendy looks.

5. Be you! Have fun! Don't be afraid to add unique and out of the box accessories to
your collection. These pieces will allow you to immediately update your wardrobe for
less, as fashion accessories are more affordable than gold or silver.
