The Importance of Accessories

I just recently realized how accessories have the ability to make an outfit and then I had another realization and that was that I own very few accessories. So I'm making a conscious effort to fix that, and it starts with this felt hat;



and this chunky coral and gold necklace;



both of them are from Mr P, which is probably the best place to get inexpensive accessories and whatnot. The necklace makes me feel like I'm playing dress up all over again.

This month's edition of South African Elle did a shoot entitled 'Strangers When We Met'. It's an amazing take on 40's glamour, styled by Poppy Evans. Here are a few pictures from the piece.
