Sunglasses, a tote, and the one piece of jewelry that finishes every outfit.
Accessories should solve a problem. A tote that stands on a cafe floor. Sunglasses that actually stay on. A hoop or chain you forget you are wearing because it always works.
Skip the pile of almost-right pieces. Two bags and one everyday jewelry set will do more for your outfits than a drawer of seasonal experiments.
When the weather is still warm, texture matters more than color: straw, leather, and a crisp cotton scarf photograph better than another logo tee.
