8 Accessories That Work With Everything in Your Closet

Accessorizing is not as easy as it looks. "Does this bag match these shoes? Do these earrings work with this necklace?" Who has time for it? To take the guesswork out of how to accessorize, I suggest creating a small stable of bags, shoes, and jewelry that you can consistently turn to when you're too drained to put together a look or are just plain stumped. With these eight items, you'll never have to stare aimlessly into your closet again.

Gold Hoop Earrings

Large enough to make a statement, but not too big to take away from a look, these earrings are a foolproof option for everyday wear. 

A Black Leather Tote Bag

A bag that's polished enough for the office and useful for that massive grocery run

Camel Booties

Booties, specifically camel colored booties, go with everything from skinny jeans and skirts to flares and culottes. Team these with pieces in the same color family, other neutrals, or even vibrant shades like red and and green.

 

A Simple Gold Bracelet

Face it, arm parties are kind of dead and gone. Instead, go with one simple gold cuff that has a little bit of personality.
 

Tortoise Shell Sunglasses

A pair of gray and white tortoise shell sunglasses will carry you from season to season, working equally as well with a sundress as they would your winter parka.
 

A Signet Ring

Cocktail rings are great and all, but when you need something that adds a bit less flashy, more subtle polish, reach for a signet ring.
