Let the Accessories Lead – Julia Berolzheimer
Outfit Details: Zimmermann Top, Francoise Pants, Valentino Belt, Chanel Bag, Dior Heels, Jenna Blake Elephant Pendant
Whenever I pack for a trip, my accessories get their own system. I sort them into pouches that double as clutches once I arrive, and they are the first things I lay out in the room, before the dresses are hung or the shoes find their corner. A printed scarf. A beaded necklace. A pair of sculptural sunglasses. That is when the outfits start to take shape, giving everything else in my suitcase a little more direction.
The fastest way to make something feel new is to change what you put with it. Not the dress, not the pants, but the pieces around them. I’ve styled these striped pants before, but with a sweet kitten heel and a belt with movement, they read completely different from the last time. That is really the whole idea. A striped heel with a colorful pant. A belt that changes the shape of a dress. An ankle strap that looks more like jewelry than hardware. The pieces that carry the most personality tend to be the unexpected ones, the ones with real color and a detail you did not see coming.
