10 Easy Ways to Brighten up any Outfit




Have you ever wished your outfit could be a little less, dull? I know I have! So many times I will put on the perfect outfit, only to find that it is still missing something. Sometimes, jeans and a t-shirt just don't cut it. Here are 10 ways to make your outfit stand out from the rest :)





10. Add Some Colorful Jewelry
This is the most common option, and the most budget-friendly. There are millions of pieces of jewelry, all of them adding a unique touch to your outfit. Here are a few that will stay within a budget and are wearable with both fancy and casual outfits.
 
Forever 21 necklace: $6.80
 Forever 21 Bracelet, $4.80
Forever 21 Bracelet, $12.80
Forever 21 Bracelet, $5.80

Forever 21 Earrings, $2.80

 Forever 21 Earrings, $2.80
Forever 21 Ring, $1.50

 There are so many types of jewelry, and most of it is budget-friendly. Some of my favorite places to but jewelry are:
Forever 21: Often, I can buy tons of jewelry there for under $10, and even under $5. They also tend to have super chic jewelry :)

 Kohls: They always have some kind of jewelry on sale, and they have more fancy jewelry than Forever 21.
 Claires: Though not always the cheapest, occasionally you can snatch up a minimally priced pair of earrings or a necklace.


9. Add a scarf
 I think each girl should own at least one colored scarf. My favorite scarf is teal with peacock feathers printed onto it. I also have a purple scarf I wear quite often. If you do not own one casual scarf, I urge you to go buy one. Here are a few options:
Forever 21 Scarf, $8.80
 Kohls Scarf, $5


 Claires Scarf, $12


Some of my favorite places to buy these are:
Kohls: If you can hit a good sale, these are usually pretty cheap.  
Claires: I have never bought a cheap scarf at Claires, but they have some oober-cute ones. 
Wal-Mart: Though a bit odd, They have some very cheap scarves, and very bright too!


8. Add a  purse.  
One of my absolute favorites. I have enough purses to feed an army. If the army ate purses that is :) Though bags always tend to be a but pricier than other accesories, I tend to use them much more. Here are a few bright purses for under $25


Forever 21 Coral Purse $19.80


Forever 21 $20.80

Old Navy $10

Wal Mart. I can almost always find a purse I like there.
Occasionally I like claires and Target, but not all the time.
7. Add some Colorful Shoes 
I LOVE SHOES! I think every female knows this to be true :) There are TONS of bright shoes that match a lot of outfits, and most of them aren't too pricey :) Here are a bunch of options that will make a pair of jeans and a t-shirt look fabulous :)

6. Add some Leg-wear

What kind of leg-wear? Tights, legwarmers, leggings, all these are among the best accessories ever.  I love them. I absolutely adore adding the splash of color other then skin-tone underneath a dress. Not to mention {in most cases} it makes it more modest! Here are a few of my FAVORITE leg-accessories :)

Claires. $7 for Bright Purple over the knee slouch legwarmers :) 
5.Paint your nails/Add Makeup
This one is the easiest, and it makes a huge difference. It may seem small, but it is very noticeable :) Add polka-dots or paint them two or 3 different colors and they will be noticed! Put two different colors in your eyeshadow (Be careful not to look like a fairy :)
Target $7.50

$6
Mark by Avon $20

Forever 21 $15.99


Old Navy $29.50

I have to say, Old Navy, Macy's and Kohls are the BEST places to buy these :)
3. Tank tops/Tight undershirts
Tanks tops and under-t-shirts are so simple, and so cute! They not only can brighten an outfit, but they make it more modest! Tanktops with polka-dots, stripes, and lace are incredibly cute with an otherwise-too-low tshirt. Some of the cutest ones are at cheaper stores like Target and Wal-mart, or in stores like Kohls.
Kohls $9
Kohls $5.99


Kohls $5.99

DIY Fabric Scrap Earrings

While searching for blog-worthy inspiration online, I found a cool idea I just had to share with you.
You can make these to match any outfit, and change them to look however you want. Try using different shapes, big or small, heart or teardrop. Experiment with different fabrics, patterns, and colors for a unique look. It's so easy and cheap and you-nique!

YOU'LL NEED:
  • 4 small scraps of matching fabric
  • Earring loops -- get 100 for a couple bucks at your local craft store
  • Scissors
  • Hole puncher




1. Cut 2"x2" squares in the fabric.
2. Punch a hole in the fabric.

3. Layer two fabric squares on top of one another, lining up the holes. Slip the fabric squares onto an earring attachment.
