Extra Pretty
Hey Dolls, I confess to you that the simplest way to become an extra pretty girl is by adding all of the extras! Although I believe that it is possible to be overkill with accessories, I believe I have the Shopaholic experience to guide you out of the red, WTF outfit zone and into the green, Shopaholic-approved outfit zone. Just when you thought you couldn't get prettier, my blog releases a guide to becoming extra pretty! When you call for me, Dolls, I always answer.
The first thing that comes to mind when I think of accessories is jewellery, jewellery, jewellery! When selected carefully, it compliments or accentuates any outfit. When it comes to jewellery, the most effective way to wear it is by layering dainty & fragile pieces as opposed to a singular statement item. By wearing multiple pieces, you can express your individual style. To achieve such an outcome, wear sustainable jewellery from a small seller, wear jewellery with a symbol (e.g butterflies, diamonds, hearts) or wear specific colours (e.g yellow diamonds or silver). My favourite forms of jewellery & places to wear it are:
Belly Button Rings
Necklaces
Body Jewellery (specific to lower back and stomach)
Making yourself extra pretty is simple when you lace your outfits with extra lace. It's simply divine and utterly feminine. It fits a coquette aesthetic whilst maintaining a level of sophistication considering that lace detailing was a critical material used between the 16th and 18th centuries in royal families to signify their status. Well, Dolls, if you follow my guide to wear lace correctly, you will be looking extra pretty to a royal extent in no time! Garters are undeniably sexy and a simple way to add extra lace to your pretty la mode. For those who desire more modesty, lace frills and lace lining on bra straps, cami tops, singlets, dresses or skirts are deliciously sweet and exceptionally Shopaholic.
Finally, Dolls, to be as extra pretty as can be, handbags will seal the deal! Pink, black, white, lilac and pastel blue are my favourite colours that make outfits go from ordinary to extraordinary. Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana and Christian Dior have stunning handbags but Prada and Yves Saint Laurent also deserve a special mention. This sweet accessory can be worn around the wrist or over the shoulder but I promise you, Dolls, that either way people will be turning heads as they see you walk down 5th Avenue!
Shopaholics, what will be your first extra purchase to make yourself extra pretty? Will you purchase in increments or go to town straight away? The choice is yours, the world is your oyster and my, oh my, you are the prettiest Doll I've ever seen!
Kisses,
