You may love to live in jeans and a tee. They are comfortable, casual and fit just right. Perhaps the only thing you don’t love is that you wish it had a little something more. Fortunately, accessories can help you dress up this simple outfit to make it something truly special.
“Bling” it up
Just because you are wearing jeans and a tee doesn’t mean you can’t add some sparkle to your look. There are many ways to do this. First get jewelry that sparkles greatly. If you have the money you can wear real gemstones or you can spend very little money and get pretty costume jewelry with crystals. Stores such as Claire’s Accessories sell jewelry in all different colors.
You can get the jewelry to match your jeans and tee or get something to add a pop of color. For instance, if your jeans and a tee is plain blue and/or black, then you can get some brightly colored gems to make it truly stand out. You can also go for crystals. You can add pieces such as a necklace, bracelet, earrings and rings.
Scarf
A decorative scarf can add a lot to a simple outfit of jeans and a tee. It can also be worn in many different ways. You can just drape it over your neck. You can tie it close to your neck or low so it looks like a necklace. You can also wear it as a belt in the belt loops of the jeans.
You will have many choices when it comes to decorative scarves. Department stores such as Macy’s sell a wide variety. You will also find many handmade ones at craft fairs and online sources such as Etsy. For instance, you can find a hand-painted scarf or a hand dyed scarf. You can buy one to match your jeans and a tee or get something that contrasts nicely.
Shawl/wrap
If you put on a shawl or wrap, then you can give an entirely new look to your jeans and a tee. It will make it seem much nicer and can add a layer of sophistication and style. You can choose a small shawl that just covers the top or something very long that truly makes a statement.
