Complete The Look!

Completing a look can be as adventurous as skydiving. Most times, we wear a shirt, pants or skirt, socks, shoes and you can't forget undergarments. There are certain items that I call completer pieces. They seal the deal on the outfit.

They are but not limited to the following list below:
1. scarf
2.necklace
3. blazer
4. tights
5. cardigan
6. hat
7. belt
8. vest
9. earrings

If you check out my list, it may seem as if accessories complete the look. Well, that's absolutely true; however, a few clothing items also help to conclude a magnificent ensemble. Let me explain what I mean by completion of a look, it is a garment or accessory that gives your ensemble the ompf it needs to turn heads.

First, let's start with the scarf. Adding a scarf is an easy way to bring more dimension to your outfit. Below the model is wearing muted colors, the pop of color from the scarf add effortless piazzaz.


A rocking necklace is another way to add punch to an ensemble. This necklace is crazy dramatic, but it's an awesome statement piece that finishes this look. The model below is wearing a diagonal neckline but with nuetral colors. If you decide to be over the top with your neck wear, try wearing a solid top.



I love a blazer! It does wonders for an outfit and not to mention the body. It can define a waist. Blazers create a streamline look that almost never fails. It's a piece that even the fashionable unconscious don't have to think twice about. You wear it. You look good. (I'm assuming the fit is proper. If not, that's another blog post.)
So simple. So good. So vogue.


Most times, we don't think of tights to finish a look. It's a seasonal completer piece but tights can add more texture to your outfit. It also can play up your style personality since they come in an infinite amount colors and patterns.

Cardigans are an awesome ensemble enhancer. It's a great layering piece that soups up an ordinary outfit. It has extreme versality since it can be used as a light jacket on windy day.


A delicious hat can make your outfit devine. It's a bold finisher but when you combine a sassy hat to the right ensemble. You will look like a rock star.



Belts are also an easy way to perfect a look. It cinches the waist or can enhance your hips (for the boyish figures) depending on the type of belt you're wearing. I live by the belt. I always add a belt to most of my outfits. It adds the flair I need and provides the extra punch I crave to feel well-dressed.


Vests jazz up an outfit. They provide a sophisticated edge. It's a great layering piece to wear under myriad items - blazers, cardigans, cropped jackets. Boys look good in them too. (Note, check out baseball hat to finish the look of a polished two piece suit. It's a statement well done. Love it! I must make mention of Pharrell's pocket square. It's not on my list but it's taking this look to the next level!)



I live for a breathtaking earring. It can up the anty on an outfit ten fold. When more dramatic on the ears, I simplify the upper half of the outfit. That's what amazing earrings will do - make people look at your beautiful face. A truly glamorus earrings can uplift an ensemble and complete the look!
