What is the most important thing you can do to create your signature style? Accessorize!
Accessories can also change your look from day to day, and easily wake up a tired look. Here are my three favorite work worthy accessory options from Elle’s Complete Fall Trend Guide:
1. Stacked Kitten Heels – What is so great about this trend? The stylish yet comfortable factor. Why not wear stacked kitten heels instead of flats and update your office style.
