VITAMINS

DETAILS | VITAMINS | Detail No.03

Some of you might have wondered, are we dealing with the class of food now or what is this about. The beauty of this new detail is to attract you— my dear readers, to the deeper connections on what vitamins entails.

A quick question— You take your vitamins everyday, do you wear them?

Anna Dello Russo once said

“Accessories are like vitamins to fashion.” I can’t agree more, you must use them liberally. In fact, once you start thinking about it, vitamins and accessories have a number of things in common. Vitamins are to your daily health while accessories are to your daily style. Both gives you that little boost that sometimes you didn’t even know you needed.

Just like accessories, vitamins are available in an endless array of options. It’s up to each of us to decide what works best for us. In both cases, you have to take them every day for best results.

As we age, or move through the seasons of the year, we often have to change our assortments. For instance, harmattan might call for Vitamin C and sunglasses, while rainy season is better suited to Vitamin D and scarfs. A different phase, a different style vitamin, a different health accessory —it’s as simple as that.

Of course there are some accessories and vitamins that come and go with certain seasons of life — these are the “trends”. What I’m interested in are the others that stay the same. These unchanging vitamins and accessories are the ones that speak to your natural predisposition. Just as you might take a multivitamin or probiotic no matter how you’re feeling, there are certain accessories in our closets that feel like a part of us. Putting them on is a ritual. Wearing them makes us feel like our truest selves. For some, constants might include rose gold studs, bangles, wristwatch, flats. However, sometimes you need that extra boost — that’s when the trending pieces make an appearance. A statement ring. A pair of flashy earrings. A pearl-studded hair clip.

One of the things I notice about fashionable women is not just their clothes which look great, but their clothes are always punctuated with great accessories. There are often a great style in the details.

Like the fashion itself, the shapes, silhouettes and colours of the accessories also change over time. In general, it is hard to find cool new looks but a trendy bag or catwalk style necklace can be combined with older clothes to create new magic. Investing on some fun, new, fashionable accessories can update your wardrobe throughout the season even if it is not in accordance with the current fashion trends.

Famous fashion designer Oscar De la Renta said: “A woman makes an outfit her own with accessories”.

Accessories give more importance to your personal style, taste and preferences. They also offer unlimited opportunities for clothes, helping you to do the best of each item you have. Accessories are as important as clothing, offering a whole new opportunity to express yourself. With accessories you can create a fluent style waves up from head to toe.

I invite you to approach both daily vitamins and daily accessories with a sense of mindfulness to see how the results change. How can you turn your daily “to-do’s” into a revered ritual?

Instead of going on auto-pilot, remember that it’s up to you to decide what vitamins and accessories you need. What vitamin or accessory will give you the perfect boost that is unique to today? If you go with your classic favourites, choose them with intention.

Accessories fall into a few basic categories. Ride along with me!😁❤️

FOOTWEAR

Unlike other accessories, you’ll most likely need to wear shoes every day. Although it’s important to have a few neutral footwear options in your collection such as a white sneaker, nude heel, black flat, and black or brown boots, statement footwear can elevate your look. Look for shoes that are fun, yet comfortable—or else you’ll never wear them.

JEWELRY

Whether your jewelry box contains just one nice wristwatch or a host of bangles, statement necklaces, anklet,chandelier earrings, and chokers, you probably turn to jewelry when you’re looking to add a little sparkle to your look. If you’re new to jewelry, start with a subtle piece of jewelry like little diamond studs, thin hoop earrings, or a delicate pendant necklace—classic pieces that will work with almost anything. Probably in subsequent blogs, I will explore more about the different types of earrings. Because often times, I hear “ I prefer drop earings to small earings”. It’s worthy to note that, because an earring is long, doesn’t make it a Drop earring.

HAIR ACCESSORIES

Although not so many persons love hair accessories. Hair accessories offer an easy way to show off your personal style.

HANDBAGS

Different bags—from totes to clutches—are appropriate for different occasions. If you have handbags in varied styles and colours, you’ll always have a unique accessory.

BELTS

Belts aren’t just for function; they’re for fashion, too. Whether you choose a narrow or wide belt, a simple belt or one with embellishments, defining your waistline with a belt is one of the easiest ways to make an outfit look more polished.

Tips for Choosing your VITAMINS

Accessorizing is all about balance, and the right accessories can make even the most basic outfit look glam.

• Choose a signature accessory. If you feel overwhelmed by accessory options, choose just one statement piece that makes you feel great and that you can wear with multiple outfits. When you’re ready to add more accessories, create balance by choosing one piece to dominate your look in terms of size or colour, then layer on more subtle accessories.

• Think about colours and patterns. Accessories are a great way to add a pop of colours to a simple outfit. Bright colours and animal prints can be difficult to work into your wardrobe, but vibrant, fun accessories like shoes, a belt, or a scarf can elevate your look.

• Use accessories to transform an outfit. Accessories are an easy way to take an outfit from the office to dinner with friends. A classic little black dress looks work-appropriate when paired with a blazer and flats. Ditch the blazer, swap the flats for stilettos, and add a pair of statement earrings or knuckle rings.Have a few go-to accessories in mind for those moments when you’re not able to do a full outfit change.

• Your accessories don’t need to match. Matching accessories can read more conservative than fashion-forward. If you’re not sure which colours go together, start by adding one colourful accessory to a base of neutrals. Then, use the colour wheel to get new ideas for bold colour combinations.

There’s no escaping fashion. It’s everywhere!

For this reason, why not just flow with the tide? You’re going to get dressed anyway, in one way or another, so dress for the occasion!

And while you’re at it, why not make the most out of it? Every day is a fashion show, and the world is your runway—this includes the digital world, of course.

To all my fashionistas, say you prayers, take your vitamins and you will never go wrong.😉🎉🍇
