Style Snapshot / It’s in the Accessories

Hello again!

Thanks for sticking with me in my mini blogging break, friends! It was just what I needed, and I’m feeling prepped and ready to balance blogging, extracurriculars, and school work in the remaining months of the academic year.

Just as I’ve used the past few days to catch up on homework, blog posts, and a large stack of library books, I’ve given some time and attention to my wardrobe too! I have bought a few new pieces {think printed sundresses and floral tops} to refresh my closet for the warmer months, but smaller items, like scarfs, bracelets, or bags, have been the most helpful in bridging my spring and summer outfits together. With that in mind, I’ve devoted this month’s Style Snapshot to accessories, wardrobe essentials anywhere and at anytime.

When it comes to accessories, I have only one loose rule to follow: the item must be versatile, like the chic leather sandals below, or fun, such as the adorable flip-flop coin purse. Furthermore, it’s important to look for quality, as it’s so easy to fall into buying cheap accessories for the thrill of a new purchase. Fortunately, all of the items below are from some of my favorite brands, and they will surely last you this summer, if not many more to follow! My top picks of the collection? I’m in love with the multi-colored rope bracelet from KJP, and the collaboration between Gray Malin and Sperry had me at first sight. Where do you like to buy accessories?
