I talk a lot about how accessories can update your look for a new season without spending too much money – and this autumn-winter, it’s no different. In fact, I think this season is such an easy one to dip into on-trend accessories, because there is so many around.
Here’s four of my favourite new season accessories to update your look on a budget – in fact everything here is under $60.
1. THE SCARF
I’m not talking here about the big scarf of seasons past – this season it is all about the smaller, sometimes square, scarf. Tie them around your neck, on your bag, around your head or ponytail. A cheap, fun way to update any outfit. I’ve bought scarves from Lovisa and Etsy for as little as $5. Check your local op shop for finds, or check out these ones I’ve found online, below.
- Monki floral square scarf AUD$20
- Vintage scarf on Etsy AUD$12
- Billy J scarf AUD$18
- Scarfy Official floral scarf AUD$24
2. VELVET BAGS
Even better if they’re embellished with pearls or crystals and/or gold. An easy way to update a black dress for a night time look, or simply pair with jeans a white tee for day time.
- Colette Hayman bag AUD$54.99
- SheIn velvet bag AUD$24.49
- SheIn green velvet bag AUD$14.49
- Monki heart velvet bag AUD$30
3. GOLD, GOLD, GOLD!
I’d always been a silver gal until a year or so ago – and now I’m slightly obsessed with gold – jewellery, hardware, shoes…LOVE! The easiest way to try this trend is some high shine gold earrings – try a simple hoop or a drop style or acrylic pieces, and let go of the rules – it’s totally ok to mix metals.
- ASOS face profile earrings AUD$24
- Pip and Pepper art deco earrings AUD$10
- Colette organic shape earrings AUD$12.99
- Deux Earrings AUD$30
4. THIN CAT EYE OR OBLONG SUNNIES
I’ve spoken before about my love of sunnies and how easily they update an outfit. This season 90s-style thinner shapes are in, as well as oversized oblong/round styles for that 60s/70s vibe.
- Reality Eyewear sunnies AUD$59
- ASOS small cat eye sunglasses AUD$28
- Cotton On tortoiseshell cat eye AUD$19.95 (or 2 for $25)
- Baby Get Shady sunglasses AUD$29.99
