Say goodbye to glitz and bling--summer accessories are all about natural and organic touches. Update your wardrobe by adding a few of these great pieces.
Organic accessories are the big trend in accessories this season, but you don't need to be a granola-girl to pull off these great styles. Try mixing great pieces with items you already own for a quick update on your current look.
Seashells
Basic pearls are always classic, but keep your eye out for other sea-inspired pieces that are sure draw attention. Simple necklaces featuring a large shell-like jewel are always elegant. Another great way to wear this trend is by selecting shoes decorated with shells. Either way, this look is a great way to welcome summer.
Wood and Leather Accessories
Wood and leather accessories are a great way to capitalize on the natural-inspired trend without going overboard. Look for necklaces with large, wooden beads to add a carefree, boho touch to your wardrobe. If you're looking for an edgier look, try a wide leather belt adorned with metal studs. Avoid wearing too many accessories at once. Choose one piece that works best with your wardrobe, such as a bold necklace paired with a simple tank top or a rugged belt worn with your favorite jeans. The key here is to look low-fuss, so be careful not to overdo it.
Stone Jewelry
Accessorizing with rock and stone jewelry is a great way to add a punch of color and drama to your wardrobe, but still keep with this season's natural outlook. Some designers are offering great artificial stones in vibrant colors or intriguing motifs. If you prefer the real deal, look for styles made from obsidian, amethyst, or jade. For truly unique pieces, contact local artisans or dealers for handcrafted and locally made jewelry.
Earth Tones
Subtle browns, greens, and reds are the colors of choice this season. But don't think that earth tones need to be drab. Try mixing these muted shades with eye-catching accessories or brighter shades to accent your look. For example, if your wardrobe consists of mostly earth tones, select a bright accessory or handbag.
