Your wardrobe can receive an instant style update when you add a few items with the right details. There is no need to go out and buy several frivolous items that you would only wear once or twice just to update your wardrobe. By looking for items that you are already going to purchase for the season with a couple of elegant details you can stay well within your budget.

Here are a couple things to look for on your next shopping trip.

Delicate jewelry: Sometimes less is better and that is definitely the case when you are trying to pull of a more elegant and glamorous look. Try adding jewelry pieces to your wardrobe that are simple and subtle in their beauty. Pieces that are large in volume and content have a look of excessiveness to them instead of being delicate and graceful. Try looking for simple gold or silver hoops with little details added, like etching or sandblasting, which gives them an indulgent touch. Long necklaces with a single charm or pendant, simple rings with a single uncut stone, a stack of wood bangles with gold accents are all pieces that you can find at good prices.

Buckles: It is amazing how a single piece of metal can totally change the look of an item. Accessories that have buckles or other pieces of metal adorning them have an instant glam look to them. A plain leather purse will have an extra boost of style with a couple buckles added to the front or sides. Think about the accessories you will already be buying such as purses, gloves and boots for example. A buckle or clasp added to the front will give you just the right touch of glam.

Mock Croc: Mock-croc accessories are eye catching and can help you achieve a super glam look. The best part is of course that it is mock-croc and not real so it does not hurt your wallet as much. Try adding patent leather mock-croc pieces like belts or purses to your wardrobe that can be used to accentuate the rest of your outfit.
