If you need some advice on how to accessorize an outfit, check out these three great outfits that go from basic to amazing!

Accessories are what make an outfit. The things that take an outfit from boring to amazing.

And they’re the thing that most women struggle to figure out.

Which accessories? How many? Which ones work with my outfit?

Today I’ve partnered with Nordstrom to share three outfits, and a step by step guide to adding accessories. This was so fun to put together and I hope you find it helpful!

Adding accessories to black jeans and a tee

Jeans and a tee — it’s a staple for all of us, right? Here are some ideas to take this outfit from basic to cozy and chic!

I started with BLACK JEANS and THIS COZY TEE.  Then I added some GLOSSY BLACK HUNTER BOOTS.

My LEVI’S SHERPA JACKET is a fall staple, and is perfect with black jeans so there’s not too much blue denim going on.

I added a cute BEANIE for extra warmth, and finished the look with a CASUAL TOTE BAG.

Levi’s Jeans (on sale for 30% off!)
abstract white earrings
similar white ring bag (SPLURGE or SAVE)
similar brown leather boots

Adding accessories to a chunky turtleneck sweater

During the winter there is nothing more cozy than a turtleneck sweater! So I took THIS RUST COLORED ONE and paired it with these DISTRESSED LEVI’S JEANS and some simple LEATHER ANKLE BOOTS.

The sweater is oversized and thick, so I half tucked it to give my body some shape, and then pulled my hair up to also give my neck and shoulders some shape. Those two tricks work wonders on oversized turtleneck sweaters!

To finish the look I added some amazing STATEMENT EARRINGS and a SMALL, CHIC HANDBAG.

gray cardigan
plaid scarf
similar chambray shirt
similar over the knee boots
similar dark wash jeans
similar tote bag

Add a scarf and cool boots to your basics!

During the fall, a scarf is the perfect accessory for basically any outfit.

Here I paired a denim on denim look (DARK WASH JEANS and a CHAMBRAY SHIRT) with some gorgeous OVER THE KNEE BOOTS.

To break up all the solid colors, I added a PLAID SCARF around my neck, and then a long CARDIGAN SWEATER for some extra warmth and a cozy layer.

Since the outfit is pretty casual, I finished off the outfit with a neutral TOTE BAG.

    Those are great outfits! However, I still don’t really know how to style *my own* outfits even after reading this. Can you give sort of a step-by step of how to come up with outfits, rather than just what you did? For example, “Start with the basics: top and bottoms or a dress. Add shoes. Next, add something to complete this purse. Here are a few examples of somethings that will transform your outfit in that way.” Does that make sense?
