1. Diamond studs :

Even if you’re in jeans and a t-shirt, your sparkly studs will shine. If you can’t afford real diamonds, these earrings from Nordstrom are the next best thing. After all, diamonds are a girl’s best friend.

2. Pearls :

Pearls are classic and always in style. Use a pair of tiny earrings or a single strand/multi-strand necklace to dress up any outfit. They’re the perfect ladylike staple.

3. Watch :

Watches aren’t just an accessory, they’re practical. But, when will you ever need a watch since your phone tells you the time? Sometimes there’s nothing more disrespectful and disrupting than someone constantly checking their phone. Watches are chic, sexy, and timeless (no pun intended).

4. Statement necklace :

Statement necklaces are a great way to complete any outfit. Choose one that’s versatile and fits your personality. Use it to dress up something casual like a t-shirt or denim button-up or pair it with any dress in your closet.

5. Black heels :

A classic pair of black heels can be worn with anything in your wardrobe, except maybe your yoga pants. Pointy, round, patent, open-toe... the choice is yours. Pick a pair (or two) that won't go out of style and that you can wear no matter the occasion.

6. Belt :

You never know when you’ll need a belt to pull your outfit together, literally. Purchase one in a neutral color, like black or brown, that can be worn with a variety of things. You may need to slip it through the belt loops on your pants or to cinch the waistline of a dress. Once you're comfortable accessorizing a belt, experiment with more funky colors and patterns.

7. Go-to handbag :

Every woman should have a favorite go-to handbag. It's the one that rests comfortably on your shoulder and holds all your necessities. Feel free to splurge a little, especially since you'll have it forever.

8. Sunglasses :

Choose a pair of sunglasses that can protect your eyes during any season. Remember that it's important to find a pair that fit your face shape. Good thing we thought of that for you. Click here to find out what looks best on your face shape!

9. Cardigan :

Some may argue that a great cardigan isn’t technically an “accessory,” it’s an article of clothing. Well according to Dictionary.com, the definition of accessory is, “an article or set of articles … that adds completeness … to one’s basic outfit.” Cardigans are a perfect layering piece and when paired with other accessories definitely complete a basic outfit. They're also great to keep around just in case it gets chilly!

10. Umbrella :

Does this classify as an accessory? We think so. It’s never fun getting caught in the rain, but it would be more fun if you were at least prepared. Invest in a durable umbrella in a cute, bright pattern.
