Previously, I took to this blog to discuss what I predict to be some of the biggest fashion trends in 2023. But now, I want to pivot gears a little bit and focus on the items that often get overlooked. Yes, I am talking about the things such as shoes, handbags, and headgear. Frankly, you would be remiss not to consider these accouchements as they can totally make or break an entire look. It seems that almost every designer has embraced the idea of ensuring accessories are in the spotlight too. No longer are they just an after thought. Rather, they have the power to be quite transformative. This is exactly why I wanted to focus our attention on the 2023 accessory trends that will inevitably be all over your feed at any moments time.

Ballet Shoes
Last year, I treated myself to a pair of Chanel ballet flats and boy- am I glad I did. This footwear trend continues to get larger by the day thanks to avid fans of the balletcore aesthetic. These stunning shoes are not only incredibly chic, but a much appreciated way to take a break from sky high platforms and heels.

Silver Jewelry
Although I have always pegged myself as a gold jewelry fanatic, I cannot deny the appeal of silver jewelry. This cool-toned metal comes off infinitely more sleek and edgy, while gold tends to be more polished and elegant. Striking silver jewelry in the form of drips, chunky shapes, and diamonds will be the most sought after bling to accentuate an outfit.
