Accessories are the ultimate way to change the look of any outfit. Whether you are dressing up or trying to look a little more understated, the same outfit can be completely transformed just by changing out accessories. Since it’s fall y’all, we will take a look at the boots, bags, hats, scarves, jewelry, and hair accessories that are trending this fabulous fall season.

Bags  

1. Oversized Bag/Tote

Pearls have always been thought of as a more formal piece of jewelry, but not this season! They are so popular that we’re seeing even garments and footwear embellished in pearls. They’re being worn with just about anything from casual t-shirts and blue jeans to full out formal gowns. So, try a pearl necklace, bracelet, or earrings, just not all at once as it can tend to be a bit much.

The rich warm tones of gold jewelry are perfect this fall. Stack multiple gold bracelets on one wrist.
