subject: Keeping Up With Fashion: How To Afford To Be Fashionable [print this page] Keeping up with fashion can be an expensive and competitive business. Often trends come and go extremely quickly and you will find that the space age dress you opted to purchase last season looks dated very quickly and ends up at the back of your wardrobe sooner than you might imagine.
A good way of keeping up with fashion without spending a fortune is to use accessories. Using accessories such as costume jewellery and a scarf can instantly make a fashion statement. The latest trend for flowery prints can be captured in a scarf or flower ring for example.
Accessories can really be a benefit to you in keeping up with fashion trends, using a range of accessories enables you to mix and match your outfits more, creating more outfits. Accessories also tend to age slower than clothes do and remain in fashion much longer.
One prime example of accessories being carried through season to season can be found in the skull scary. There have been many high street copies of the original designer scarf and it is a key piece that refuses to go out of fashion. Wearing it can update the most plain of outfits.
Not only are accessories pretty they are also a good way to keep on trend and make great gifts. Due to the huge market for costume jewellery in particular, prices are relatively competitive and with accessories like this being affordable you can afford to purchase more therefore adding to your wardrobe easily.
Accessories do not have to be used only for fashion though, scarves and gloves sets can be essential in winter as can hats and sunglasses during the summer. Expanding on your collection of these items is usually fairly affordable, so choosing styles to fit in with the latest trends is a good way of looking fashionable.
