In this heat you're probably wearing as little as possible, so every piece counts. The quickest way to add a little color (and conspicuousness) to your attire is with accessories. As such, here are five brightly hued extras under $50 to keep you looking lovely without sweating the price:
This lavish Cara necklace, accented with an electric-neon green strand, is a great standout piece with your basic white tee (right). It’s currently available for $33.98 at Nordstrom.
There are endless ways to accessorize with a scarf, as we detailed earlier this week. Whether you’re covering your head, neck, or shoulders from the blistering sun, or you knot the scarf around your favorite handbag—this
ombré snake-print scarf from BCBG Max Azria ($48, left) adds an element of refinement and ferocity to your attire.
Even if you didn’t get a chance to read Shop Talk’s how-to article on sunglass shopping, you probably know the importance of shielding your precious eyes from debilitating UV rays. Add a modern, sunny spin to the 50s cat-eye trend with these “Bright Future Shades” from Nasty Gal ($18, below).
Nothing says ladylike quite like a skinny, waist-cinching belt. Make it pop with bright hues that range from buttercup yellow and bird-of-paradise orange to ultramarine blue, all courtesy of Ann Taylor’s perfect patent skinny belt ($30, right). For a truly feminine feel, opt for the lush hibiscus color.
Spanish retailer Zara made headlines recently with their support for factory safety in Bangladesh. That makes us all the more excited about these antique lime earrings from Zara ($14.90, below).
