Fall fashions are here, and I absolutely love the season's trend for gorgeous jewel tones. Why colors and not the interesting silhouettes, ornate brocades, metallic sheen, floral jeans etc? Well, with a color palette I don't have to spend a fortune on buying a new wardrobe. And in this economy I must maximize what I have in my closet without looking like a has-been or a dated doll. So, how do I do that? Accessorize!!!
With a classic wardrobe of neutral colors and simple silhouettes, all I need are some eye-catching accessories. So, here is my dream list of shoes and handbags that I believe can turn my ho-hum classics into luxe looks (I'm going to use Bloomingdale's as my one-stop shopping store since they have a wide selection of accessories at various price points).
Flats: I admit that I've slowly become a fan of the smoking shoe. There is something very chic about them (as long as they don't look like they only belong at someone's bedside). These hunter green and gold darlings look absolutely divine! Via Spiga Smoking Flats
Pumps: Who hasn't dreamed of owning a pair of Ruby Red shoes a la Dorthy? Cole Haan Chelsea Platforms
Boots: Corso Como makes incredibly comfortable shoes and their styles are always on trend without being overtly trendy. This boot can be worn with just about anything (even though it's not a jewel tone, you could wear colorful stockings for a bit of playfulness). Corso Como Doyle Wedge
Handbag: My favorite handbag style is the hobo, and Marc by Marc Jacobs owns this style. This peacock color is bright enough to beguile without screaming for attention. Marc by Marc Jacobs Hobo
Handbag: I love this gorgeous eggplant color with the gold accents. The versatility of the bag is wonderful, too. Lastly, how can you not love this designer? Classic, cool and fun!
