Make A Statement

                                                           by: Brandy Matthew



               Ever been in the situation where your outfit looks plain and boring (I know I have).  Like a plain t-shirt, jeans, and flats.  Well dress it up with a statement accessory!  Statement pieces are basically accessories that are big, bold, and colorful.  For example a cheetah print scarf would instantly make the t-shirt, jeans, and flats ensemble pop!  A colorful bib necklace can easily make a plain black dress look like your ready to go to the Grammy's.  Statement pieces can be almost anything like a scarf, a huge necklace, chandelier earrings, bright bangles, or even a bow tie, the possibilities are endless.  You can find them anywhere and they can even be made with stuff at home.  Like an old flower arrangement, just remove the stems, then tape a bobby pin to a flower and VOILA!  You have a flower pin.  My favorite statement piece is a gold owl necklace I recently got with colorful beads.  So remember when you have the whole "OMG! What am I gonna wear!?"  A statement piece is always  the way to go.
