Accessories can be tricky– when’s the best time to pair that chunky necklace with something? When can you pull off a trendy little cap complete with a fun little netted veil? It’s time to accessorize our very best with the best– and pull off looks that needed a little extra something.

Caps and Hats with Slim LBDs

Fancy hats can become a part of your repertoire when you’ve got the right foundation. Think column-like, think gorgeously slim and tall, topped with a beautiful little conversation piece– a vintage inspired mini cap. With a dress that wraps around your curves, the best thing to do is highlight your face with a framing effect.

Bold Bangles with Floral Details

Bangle bracelets shake up a floral patterned asymmetrical top. Instead of choosing something ultra delicate like a slim bracelet, contrast with the feminine look by choosing something more substantial. It’s time to slip into something with attitude, with extra class, and with a substantial amount of young energy.

Tip: You can also find bracelets from Jessica Kaga in other bold statements as well.

Gold and Bolds

Gold accents deep colors like burgundy and deep orange. If you’re intimidated by brighter or more saturated colors, don’t forget that something in gold will highlight without clashing or looking garish. Go for the mega-sized earrings with a strapless dress or top– the bareness at your shoulders and upper arms welcomes it.

Tip: Oversized earrings that point downwards, with a tapered bottom, will make you look slimmer.
