Every outfit is just an outfit until you add accessories. A statement necklace and few bangles, a scarf and a designer handbag can really spice up a boring get up.
There were times when I went overboard and piled on everything I could find; and then there were times when an outfit was just blah. But really knowing when to add and when not to add the right kind of accessories is a skill.
Sometimes it's easy getting dressed and look stylish but others, not so much.
There is a reason why some bloggers are very successful and others are not; why some women look stylish and others look trashy. It takes some common sense and an eye for balance. Also it takes planning of the outfits and maybe tiny bit of pinning.
In all seriousness, nobody has so much imagination and creative stride to put together a 'blog-worthy' outfit every time, but with planning and correct amount of accessories it really can happen. Probably not every time but often enough to make you feel like a fashionista.
Hope you have a great day!
I agree that it takes skill to edit an outfit where it isn't too simple but also isn't piled on with accessories. This look is the right balance! I absolutely love that houndstooth skirt!

I agree that finding the right balance with accessories can be tricky. You definitely nailed it with this outfit though - the necklace is fantastic!
