Some days you just want to wear that black sweats set. Other days you want to get all dolled up. Either way, you can take that look to the next level with my six go-to accessories! Wear all six or just incorporate one, you can’t go wrong because these are all fail-proof chic.
1. Gold Dainty Necklace
Gold is so classic, so chic, and so universal – it looks good on everyone!
A dainty gold necklace is the perfect touch to literally any outfit because it’s so subtle, yet it lets the world know you put in the effort.
Personalize it by going with a simple gold chain and a charm that speaks to you. I have several in my collection but my faves are my Saint Christopher charm necklace, my gold bar necklace with my wedding anniversary in roman numerals, my butterfly charm necklace, and my ‘Kaia’ necklace my husband gave me last Christmas.

2. Simple Band or Stacking Ring
Bands and stacking rings are an easy way to add an accessory without being too flashy. This is a great place to mix metals or add some sparkle.
Since I have my wedding bands on my left hand, I like to wear my stacking rings on my right hand on the ring finger and middle finger.

3. Stud or Huggie Earrings
See a theme here…simple, dainty, understated. Stud and huggie earrings are so on trend right now, but honestly I think they’re a classic and will always be in style.
They aren’t distracting in any way since they don’t dangle (but to be honest, I love a good gold hoop earring every now and then).


4. Black Belt
What’s a beautifully wrapped gift without a bow? A belt can work so many wonders for an outfit:
- Cinches the waist
- Ties in your shoes or bag (if the belt coordinates)
- And if you want to get practical, yes they hold up your pants
The notorious Gucci belt has been in the spotlight for some time, for good reason. It takes your basic outfit to the next level. I love it, but I see it EVERYWHERE so it may be on its way out soon (😞). The good news is you don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars to get a cute belt. I got this Gucci dupe on Amazon and love it.
No belt – it’s okay With a belt – more interesting!
5. Go-to Hat
Ok, this one has been my fave lately. Perfect for the “I am not in the mood to deal with my hair” days. The right hat can take your look from cute to WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR OUTFIT?!
You can find hats in so many colors, I like to stick to the neutrals – black, white, and camel. These colors go with everything and are my fave color combo on the days I have “nothing to wear”.
6. A Watch
Remember when Michael Kors watches were EVERYTHING? Confession, I still have mine, and I still love them. The reason I still love mine is I opted for a simple, timeless style and I have it in silver and gold. They aren’t in trendy colors or covered in a logo – those styles will fade and eventually you’ll end up not wearing them anymore.
I also love a simple bracelet style watch, like my vintage Gucci watch. Bracelet watches add a feminine, yet bold touch.
