One Outfit - So Many Looks! How to Accessorize

Accessories to the rescue!

Take one basic outfit and one beautiful accessory, add some creativity and you have many wonderful outfits to take you through the day or various events!



Scarlet Red Rose Dewdrop Scarf Sash

Today's post is the first of a series on how to accessorize.

No matter how creative you may or may not think you are,
a scarf can add so much to even the plainest dress, blouse or jacket.


Check back as I show you some different looks you can achieve with scarves.


Below is a basic white sleeveless blouse and skirt. This Scarlet Red Rose Scarf is worn around the shoulders, the neck and the waist. The vibrant red contrasts nicely with the crisp white fabric.




Wearing a scarf around the shoulders adds a bit of drama, suitable for an evening out or other special occasion.
At the neck, a scarf can accentuate a long neck and visually add length to the torso without being too fussy.
A scarf worn as a sash, is a nice feminine alternative to a belt. In these photos the sash is tied at the back to show off the dewdrop rose detail.


White Lace Ruffle Weskit Jacket Blouse

SuZeFashion Restructuring Sale has been extended to Friday August 6! SuZeFashion followers take 15% off all clothing (vests, vintage, skirts/ensembles). Type "RESTRUCTURE SALE" in message to seller. 15% will be refunded to you or I can reserve the item for you if you convo me. 15% OFF is in addition to sale prices!!!

Thursday Thoughts for Earth Day

Happy Earth Day!



Looking for more creative ways to reduce, reuse and recycle? Check out this Earth Day Carnival! You'll find SuZeFashion listed there too!

I am the “Queen of Repurposing” in my family. Here are a few things I have recycled/repurposed:

I use recycled packaging materials wherever I can. I reuse tissue paper, cereal boxes (when we buy cereal) and other large boxes and envelopes of all sizes. If these materials still have life in them it seems wasteful to put them in the trash.



Old computer manuals and pocket calendars with pages painted and fabric covers added to use for my art journals.





Small tins for business card holders.



An old ugly wooden picture frame (with wallpaper remnant inserted under glass) as a table tray, an old muffin tin for a drawer organizer and metal condiment caddies to hold office supplies.



I have also used an old glass canister to hold rulers, chipped mugs for pen and pencil holders, glass bottles as vases, and the list goes on!!!

Have a thoughtful Thursday wherever you are!
