Accessorizing for Formal Events

Attending a formal event? We girls always fret when we get invited to events, especially when the word "formal" is finely printed on the invitation card. Some of us know what to do, others need a pinch of magic, to help their struggle looking for the perfect outfit.

In dressing up for formal occasions, one thing is expected from you. It's not wearing the most expensive clothing, shoes or jewelry, but being presentably suited for what the gathering calls for. You can choose to spend on items from head to toe, but if you are a practical consumer,, you'd know how to utilize resources.

What women fail to see,  is that sometimes, accessorizing can be a powerful tool.

1. Invest in Shawls and Cover-Ups 



2. Invest in Embellished Pieces or Statement Necklaces



3. Invest in Pearls





4. Invest in Set Crystal Accessories



5. Invest in Brooches 



6. Invest in Embellished Belts
