I've been trying to make the most of the clothes I already have rather then buy a new wardrobe for work. I'm not 100% happy with the size I am so buying new clothes isn't at the top of my agenda. So instead I'm trying accessorize what I have to create different looks and to add to the dresses and skirts I already have.
I'm a sucker for bright colours and funky prints so while these aren't exactly work wear I am absolutely in love with my new rainbow socks from Primark. I'm one of those people who can't wear white socks at least I assume I'm one of those people maybe I'm the only one!
I was cleaning out my wallet the other night and I found a credit voucher for New Look--score!--and then popped in store to find they had a massive sale on--double score! I'd seen a similar ribbon necklace in a magazine a while back so I had to get this gorgeous rainbow ribbon necklace since it was technically free thanks to my found credit note! I don't normally wear gold but I like how it works with all the different colours.
I'm not sure nails are normally classed as an accessory but I think that nail polish certainly can accessorize with an outfit. I've been pretty religious about painting my nails since I've gone back to work in an office and I've had a lot of fun experimenting with different designs and colours. This Maybelline Color Show Nails Polka Dot topcoat over reminds me of jawbreakers candy and it won me some NailGirls polish on twitter in their nail art competition!
What is your favourite way to accessorize? Do you consider nails an accessory? Do you still quote lines for eighties movies?

That necklace however is amazing! And statement necklaces are pretty much my go-to on how to change up an outfit.
Thanks for hosting!
I'm a sucker for earrings - I tend to stick with silver but that's not to say I don't also have them in other colours! I'm branching out in the colour stakes thanks to the blogger journey and loving my coral handbag. LOVE the socks!
The socks are cute and I just LOVE your necklace! Thank you for hosting the link up party :)

Haha! Troop Beverly Hills! I love it! And now I have the Freddie stuck in my head... ;)
I think nails are definitely becoming an accessory. And I can't quote 80s movies all that well, but I love them!! :)

Love the necklace! x
The necklace is beautiful. I bet it looks beautiful with a black top/dress.
I love the socks too, white ones remind me of school x
I love statement necklaces. I do consider nails accessories especially how intricate they are.
Hey Sweetie, Happy Hump Day Wednesday. I love statement necklaces and yours is adorable, however, I don't wear them often. I do like large rings which is my favorite accessory. Enjoy the rest of the week and thanks for hosting another week.
Love that necklace! It can go with anything!
Great necklace! Since rings and bracelets irritate me when I'm working, I usually accessorize with necklaces. Thanks for hosting!

Statement necklaces are fab for adding some oomph to a plain outfit. And yes, nail art can be a great accessory too - love yours! x
I'm finding myself changing my nails at least once a week now!
Yea I only wear my wedding rings and that's it!
I like how it can jazz up a plain top!
I love big rings too but I don't really wear them any more since I wear my engagement ring/wedding ring now.
I wish I could do some of the crazy stuff I see on Pinterest!
There is a similar one on sale still: http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/jewellery-and-hair-accessories/gold-woven-rainbow-ribbon-chain-necklace-_279679299
Thanks! I love bright jewellery right now :)
Gotta love a wee surprise :)
SOOOO glad it's not just me :) Do the freddie.......
They can totally make or break an outfit!
I'm glad you like the reminder! I never know if it bugs people or not but I know I'd forget if it was me :)
The bigger the better in my book :)
You do have sweet socks :)
Oh wow really? It's one I've heard and said when I don't want to admit to my Troop BH one lol!
White socks are just blah right?
I pretty much always have my tiny skull studs in because if I didn't I'd forget to put in earrings and it would drive me nuts all day!
I'm hoping to use it to jazz up plain coloured tees and dresses
Thanks! I'm so glad I found that credit note :)
Phew! Glad it's not just me who classifies it that way :)
Troop Beverly Hills is SUCH a classic. I always think of that line, too, actually. But your accessories are super cute, nails included. That necklace is awesome -- so unique! And the socks are really fun. I don't really wear white socks, either, so I'm totally on board with rainbows.
Wow I love that ribbon statement necklace from New Look and such a bonus you got it in the sale and with a credit note!! Cute socks as well
