Style Tip of the Day: How to Spice Up an Everyday Outfit
Today I have a simple way for you to add spice to a casual everyday outfit. So all you have to do is grab a few basic pieces in the morning and top it off with something to make it a little more special.
A common go-to outfit, especially for the transitional seasons, is a t-shirt and a cardigan with jeans or just about any other bottoms. For the office, you could use a skirt or trousers. Right off the bat, the good thing is that there’s a third piece in this outfit combination to add interest to your tee and jeans (or pants or skirt). (You can read more about “How to Use the Amazing Powers of a Cardigan” here).
But if you leave it at that, it’s still plain jeans and a tee with a cardigan. Details always add it more style. I have collected style tips over the years, and like to share them with you. As an installment in my “Style Tips” category (here), I have an accessory tip for you today.
Age doesn’t matter, so why don’t you try it? 😉
Women’s Long Sleeve Open Cardigan – Knox Rose Navy – from Target
STYLE TIP: With a casual tee & cardigan, add ornate earrings.
By adding some big interesting earrings, you still keep the look simple but it results in a touch of class. Sometimes it even ends up looking quite glam.
We’re not talking about any earrings here. Add something big enough and interesting enough. Statement earrings are always great. You could use chandelier earrings, tassel earrings, tribal ethnic earrings, etc. And they look even better when your hair is swept up or back.
If you try this tip, let us know how it turns out!

Some great tips and loved the cardigan, earrings are always a great idea and love a few of your links!!
Hi, Sherri! Thanks for your comment. I also saw a lot of long pendants being worn with a cardigan, top and bottom but decided to keep my post simple with one tip. I could have gone on and on. Lol! Glad you checked out some of the links.

Fantastic post! I love cardigans! But I don’t have any that have the extra pizzazz like the ones you share here! Really a great idea! And I often take a cardigan everywhere in the summer because with Air Conditioning, it is often freezing! Great post!
That’s okay, Amy – Just add ornate earrings to a regular cardigan or click on one of the photos in my post and see if you’d like to buy one with more pizzazz. I am not affiliated with any companies so it’s purely for your benefit. – Angie
