Accessories are the fun & easy way to update any outfit for a nominal cost.  There are shoe & handbag brands that can get us into trouble from time to time.  If you really have to have something uber expensive, try renting the item from websites likeRentTheRunway.com.  You get to wear the latest accessory for pennies on the dollar.  Then send it back when you are moving on to the next trend.

This season’s trends are all about feminine beauty with an underlying sexuality.  And there is nothing more sexual about a woman than when she is embracing her feminine side.  It’s like a man being manly.  Think Sean Connery or Matthew McConaughey or Adam Levine or Brad Pitt or……..okay, you get the picture.

The necklaces pictured above capture this femininity & show several trends in one; floral, choker or collar, gold & oversized.  This is the fun side of fashion.  And because there is almost nothing left out of the accessory trends, it will be easy to be on trend.

The 2014 fall accessory trends:

1.  Gloves  elongated (to elbow), short (@ wrist), mitts (fingerless) & w/ornaments

2.  Scarves  knits, flowing & fur

3.  Necklaces  Pendant, choker, floral, long, collar, floral & gold

4.  Leather  On any accessory

5.  Massive  On any accessory

6.  Simply 1  As in one earring – I won’t be doing this one (no pun intended).

Accessories are your way of owning a LBD or basic suit.  You stake your claim to it by the accessories you choose telling everyone a little more about you or just your mood at that time.  It is a woman’s right to change their mind after all.
