My go-to accessory guru is back with a guest post this morning! See Abby's favorite fall picks...
------------
Growing up, my favorite part of August was back to school
shopping. We would spend all day at the mall picking out new shoes, clothes,
backpacks and supplies (I don’t know about you, but picking out trappers and
folders was top five.) It’s been a long time since I’ve been in school;
however, August is the perfect time for an updated fall work wardrobe. While
that idea can sound like a bank-breaker, there are five every day accessories
(that were probably even on your back to school list!) that can boldly and
noticeably update your wardrobe just in time for the fall season.
The watch: Chunky women’s watches are still a major trend. I
have a hard time venturing out from my favorite Michael
Kors oversized gold watch, but this Michelle is classic.
The eyewear: An easy way to update your look is to also
update the frames. You all know I
love my shades, but if you sit in front of a computer as often as I do, you
know how important a good pair of prescription glasses is, too. Warby Parker offers stylish and
sophisticated frames that fit any prescription for $95 and for every pair
purchased, they give a pair to someone in need. You can order three pair of
frames to try on before selecting your final pair. Awesome concept, easy
accessory upgrade. Win, win.
The bag: Much like a backpack, handbags can become worn
through daily wear and tear. Plus, buying a new handbag makes any girl happy. My
dream of all dream bags is a Birkin (photo below), but I haven’t been able to
justify that purchase yet. Michael
Kors Hamilton bag is a great go-to and available in many colors. I have the
black and brown and they’re multifunctional, easy to carry and fun to look at. I’m also a big fan of the 2012
Fall line from Tory Burch this year.
The scarf: The fall is the best time to rock a scarf, and
there are so many options. Whether you buy from a street vendor in New York
City or a luxury designer, scarves can add color and intrigue to any outfit.
I’m digging the current
options from the Gap this fall.
The shoes: Black stilettos are a must for any girl, but
they’ve got to be comfortable. I have found Guess, Jessica Simpson and Nine
West to have the most comfortable pumps for day-to-day wear.
To make it even more fun, grab a group of girlfriends, or a
fun shopping buddy and head out for a day of “fall wardrobe upgrading” one
weekend this August. Tweet me your buys @AbbyDraper
