The Art of Accessorizing

(Zara top + jeans, UO hat, Madewell pumps, MK watch, vintage bag, Forever21 necklace)

I just LOVE how one's careful selection of accessories can really 'form' an overall look and outfit. I recently got this top from Zara -- love how light and airy it is, and of course, adore the minty colour (I'm obsessed with all things mint right now!). I knew I wanted to keep it relatively simple by pairing it with my light skinny jeans. But you know that feeling, when you have two simple pieces (nothing wrong with that! I'm a firm believer of less is more) but you can definitely sense that something is missing? The answer, more often than not, is that the outfit needs some awesome accessories to pull it together. Thus, had to go with my fav leopard pumps, and this camel-coloured bohoesque hat. Oh, and of course my vintage purse that I love oh-so-much because it's vintage, has a wonderfully worn tan leather and gold chain strap.

xoxo, Ally
