Do you know that a pair of earrings could pair you with a millionaire? Yes, a pair of earrings has so much power in its effect. Talking about accessories in general, they are items that aid or contribute to our outfits, ranging from the littlest things like earrings to bags,  socks, belts, scarves, or even gloves.

About the question above, you might wonder how just a pair of earrings could do that well. Let’s take this scenario; imagine going for an interview and you wear this dangling earring and as a guy, you wear a pair of studs,  whether you are conscious of it or not, there’s this confidence you get from just wearing those dangling earrings or studs. Therefore, the confidence you exude might eventually get you the multimillion-dollar job or get you a tea date with that millionaire (a personal opinion).

Moreover, accessories spice up our outfits adding a touch of elegance and taste to it. Our outfits could go from a boring or regular outfit to a chic and unique ones. Carrying that bag, wearing that socks or necklace, wearing that belt could give an outfit a whole different vibe. Just like a suspender matched with a trouser and a shirt would change the vibe of the outfit from a regular office to a retro old-school vibe, this is how a pearl necklace could change a casual gown to a formal one.

In addition, accessories say a lot about our personality. Psychology has shown that our style communicates four main identities or personalities. We could be expressive with our outfits, we could be romantic, classy, and formal. One of the ways to communicate these personalities is by wearing accessories. According to Julie Pace, wearing boots shows a sense of power so for ladies it’s a strong sense of fashion and for men, it’s all about being an alpha male.

Accessories are actually like magic, they could transform our outfits in a twinkle of an eye. Hence, why do you not match those accessories to suit your taste or vibe? The truth is, the way we dress is one of the things that defines who we are and we shouldn’t forget that there’s always a story behind every outfit we put on, so why not tell that story?
