How to individualize and update your clothing with fashion accessories for any occasion?

Your in a dilemma you have a date with the new bloke you've been flirting with in the office for the last month, or maybe you've got an important interview or had an invite to a friends wedding.

So you want to impress but don't want to buy new attire you will wear only once and everything in your closet is sooo! Last season, I have no clothes I hear you shriek. Now how many times have I said this even though I can't put anything more in my wardrobe and drawers, and surprise surprise they are brimming with a variety of styles.

Good news is all you need is a bit of imagination, your old wardrobe and fashion accessories to contemporize that old pair of jeans, pants or skirt, its amazing what a new handbag and chunky vibrant necklace can do.

Okay for those lucky girlies who have a new date what should you wear? first things first find out where you are going? For arguments sake lets assume you are going to see a film or going for a quiet drink, you want to look sexy but not have desperate wrote on your forehead. Why not wear a pair of close fitting boot cut jeans with high heel shoes or boots a white fitted blouse or if your feeling daring a strappy top. Add a splash of colour with a chunky turquoise necklace and funky blue retro inspired bag by Lillypod to give your outfit a lady like style, this is sure to knock your new guy dead, and have him pleading for another date, if you want one that is?

So you have a job interview what do you wear, you have an old moth bitten suit in the back of the closet ok slight exaggeration the suit is a few years old, lets guess you also have a pair of tidy black trousers and a couple of white blouses. You try them on and feel drab; it's not your usual fashion attire. However it is important to feel at ease with yourself yet look smart and efficient, so why not try the suit again this time add a narrow grey or black belt to the waist of the blouse or maybe a wider belt around your suit jacket to flatter your shape, bear in mind its an interview not a fashion show and we are looking for understated style so don't go too wide with the belt. To finish the look choose a simple semi precious stone necklace and a large black and white floral handbag by Lillypod completed with a pair of comfy chunky heel round toe shoes. This look not only gives you a sense of style and individuality, it will make you feel ultra confident and at ease with yourself.

You've just been invited to a friends wedding what do you wear? Lets assume it's a summer wedding. How about a baby pink wrap around dress enhanced with a chunky rose quartz necklace and a vibrant pink floral handbag by lillypod complete with some strappy high heels to give you an elegant yet young and fresh style. Or maybe you fancy a more relaxed style why not discard the dress for a pair of white loose linen pants and a white top, a vibrant chunky pendant necklace and a beautiful matching Harris tweed bag by Lillypod complete with a pair of strappy shoes. This look is soft, stylish and individual, giving you comfort without comprising on style.
