Summer is in full affect and it is hottttttt Divas! When it comes to clothing during the summer months I like to keep it simple and let my accessories be the star. I am obsessed with these small items and will purchase high and low end pieces. What better way to change the look of an outfit and save money than with accessories. Everyone that knows me know that my signatures are cold shoulder tops/dresses, cardigans (yes I have one in every color) 😕 and accessories! Here are my top picks for summer accessories. (I realized I said accessories in almost every sentence, see I told you I’m obsessed and can not stop saying the word.) 😀
HATS
Hats are great because they can keep you cool and hide the sun; or be an aide on those bad hair days. LOL I always thought that hats can be sleek, cool and mysterious all in one. The fedora and floppy hats are one of my favorites.

BROOCHES
Brooches are a classic pieces that can jazz up any outfit.
I love this rose gold and pearl brooch I bought from a greek vendor. Get the greek brooch here Or get similar look here
My chanel brooch was a gift from a family member. I saw her brooch and beg her to get me one. I know I’m loved. LOL Get the look here
EARRINGS (EAR JACKETS & EAR CUFFS)
Ear jackets and ear cuffs are the latest trend in earrings.
Ear cuffs are earrings that adorn the ear cartilage without piercing.
Ear jackets are earrings that come in 3 pieces in which one piece is placed in the front part of the pierced ear, another piece behind the pierced ear and the earring back to hold all the pieces together.

A little sparkle never hurt anyone. Just a little background on this piece. My auntie Sheila gave me this choker as a Christmas gift a couple of years ago and I never wore it until recently. This is the last gift I received from her since she became ill and it holds a special place in my heart. My aunt was always fashion forward; in fact she purchase my first pair of Guess jeans when I was in elementary school. She also gave me my first Louis Vuitton purse in junior high school. So this piece reminds me of her; vibrant and a risk taker stylist. I wear this choker in honor of her and don’t have to have an occasion to wear it because it can be worned dressed up and dressed down. Each outfit change makes the necklace look different.

I’m Cree, a 42 year old fundraiser from the Crescent City. I love food and fashion and consider my personal style as classic with a twist. I’m an avid online shopper who loves searching for a look for less.
Do you know that I anxiously await each new blog post from you?! Your style is so chic. I’ve been wanting to try the Oxford shoes for a while but have not had the confidence. I may just take the plunge beacause im so loving the rose gold look. Thanks for sharing and keep’em coming.
Aww thanks Danielle, I’m so happy you enjoy the blog. I bought the oxford to wear to the Beyonce concert, wearing heels was out of the question. So they were a sleek option.
Accessories!!!😱 I tend to stay simple and classic..diamond earrings and necklace. You’ve given me new life and I can’t wait to step out of my comfort zone. Thank you!! I will definitely take your suggestions under consideration while shopping. Now shoes…That’s entirely different. Love and open to all styles! 😉
Start with simple accessories like a pair of pearls or a brooch. You will enjoy adding a piece to your wardrobe.
💗💚💗💚 all of your accessories Sorority!!! I will definitely purchase the oxfords, ear cuffs, that fabulous sparkly choker and the floppy hat. I love floppy hats. They make you look and feel glamorous.
That was supposed to say Soror. Stupid autocorrect 🤣🤣

Don’t forget about the AKA brooch as well. Can’t wait to see your purchases.
