ACCESSORIZE PREF

J. Crew dress / Thomas Laine earrings / Bottica Limited necklace / Kate Spade New York bracelet / Max and Chloe bracelet / Vince Camuto bracelet / All Black flats

I love accessories so much! If you look at my Currently Obsessed you will see that my most curated items are accessories. The Preference Round is a great time to work accessories into your wardrobe during Recruitment. Typically, your chapter asks you to wear a certain color and possibly even the same dress as your Sisters. You are left to make it your own with your accessories!

When I made the outfit above, I wanted to make it as simple to follow as possible. Therefore, I assigned each type of item a number to follow along!

1. You are going to always start with your dress. Take your dress into consideration when deciding what type of accessories you would like to use. This dress is very simple and allows for many options. However, if you had a dress with a beaded neckline, you would probably forgo on a necklace. 

The dress also dictates the look you are going for. I feel as though the dress above is very classic, so I chose classic, but modern pieces to accompany the dress.

2. Bracelets! I love bracelets so much. Up until recently, they were not a huge thing for me, but there are so many cute options available. Pick a color scheme and incorporate that into your bracelets. A colorful bracelet is a great way to add a subtle pop of color to your outfit for the day. 

3. Shoes. For this outfit, I drew from the bow bracelet for my shoe choice. I chose flats because Pref is going to be a long and tiring day. The last thing you want to worry about is your feet hurting. 

4. Necklace. As I stated before, not all dresses will need a necklace, but this one definitely does. For pref, I feel like you do not want anything that is too distracting so opt for a more demure choice. It will keep your talking partner's eyes on you instead of examining your neckline.

5. Earrings. As much as I love earrings, it is the last choice for me, because it depends on so many things. If you are not wearing a necklace, I say to go for a larger earring. Also, carry out the color scheme you selected when choosing your bracelets. For this outfit, I chose these pearl earrings, because I had to the pearl and gold bow bracelet, but no other pearls. The earrings help tie the overall look together.
