Accessories can make or break an outfit. As a Personal Stylist, I noticed that a lot of women don't know how to use accessories to make an ordinary outfit look great or to express their individuality. So I decided to do a series on Accessorizing.

I have some good news for those of us who don't have a natural talent for accessorizing, the guidelines below will help you use accessories to your best advantage and have fun with them!

Use accessories to...

- Create an optical illusion by enhancing your best point and minimizing your perceived flaws

- Express your personality: you can look chic, elegant, fun, artistic, romantic, natural, and dramatic and so on

- Refresh your wardrobe each season and keep it up-to-date

- Stay current and feel fresher by updating your accessories

- Switch from casual to formal, from day to evening, by just changing the accessories you wear
