I love nothing more, than having bought an outfit for an upcoming event, realising it's time to start accessorising it. Selecting jewellery and matching up a bag and shoes to my new outfit, is for me when the fun begins. It's most definitely a passion of mine which I've had since I was very young, a passion that I know not every lady shares. So this post is for any of my readers who have an occasion coming up and need some inspiration on how to have a little fun with accessorising your new outfit.
I stumbled upon this gorgeous navy panelled dress on ASOS last night. It's a fabulous dress, I love the structure of the bodice and top half of the skirt and then the fabric simply flows in a very feminine and glamorous tulle fabric. The dress is fun and girly at the same time being extremely glamorous and grown up. It is for me perfection. And as I'm always saying I really love navy it's so flattering on all skin tones and it's so easy to accessorise with any colour. Therefore I felt it was the perfect dress to create a few accessory looks for you to be inspired by.

LOOK ONE
For my first look I decided to stick with the colour navy. When matching accessories that are the same colour as your outfit it's always a good idea to choose different textures. The clutch I chose has beautiful lace detailing and the shoes are a gorgeous soft velvet. Having different textures will mean your accessories, although the same colour as your dress, will stand out rather than blend in. I decided to add a subtle touch of colour and sparkle with thess stunning statement earrings and embellished belt.

LOOK TWO
Look number two is all about emphasising the femininity of this tulle dress. Nothing says feminine and girly more than accessorising with pinks and pearls...very lady like, don't you think? Even the detailing on the bag and shoes are oozing feminity with the combination of bows and frills. I chose these particular pearl earrings as they give a modern and trendy twist to what is known to be a classic accessory.

LOOK THREE
For my final look I wanted to work the look around a print. Keeping in mind that the dress is quite glamorous I was mindful to chose a print that wasn't too bold, I really wanted to keep the look elegant. What I'm loving about these shoes is that they give a little nod to the fact that we are slowly transcending into the autumn season. Burgundy will feature a lot in the coming season, plus it's one of my fave hues. I kept the rest of the accessories quite simple, the clutch matches the burgundy print of the shoe perfectly. And I'm loving the navy pearl earrings, they are understated and elegant, the perfect pairing.
