Every closet needs a great go-to belt. We love a strong buckle with a classic designer monogram or a little bling. An animal print can add a bit of flair to even the most basic t-shirt and jeans.

And my #1 accessory in my closet is this stylish cross-body phone case; great for freeing your hands while shopping, making it easier to carry all those purchases! And, there’s a pocket with a snap to hold your cash or cards. Available in several styles and colors.

The number one gotta have it accessory in our book - a fun daily handbag, an alternative to our standard classics! Choosing the right bag is such an individual choice, but two things to keep in mind are form and functionality for your lifestyle.

We know this may not be the first item that comes to mind when thinking about an accessory, but we love how a fishnet sock adds a little bit of extra to an understated outfit. Try this unexpected feminine touch with a suit and kitten heel, or with denim and a classic shoe, like a loafer.

My #1 pick; A flowy, oversized scarf is the most versatile accessory I can think of. Whether worn as a headscarf, a belt or a classic accent around our necks, scarves are the perfect way to create a winning style.

You may not always associate the word chic with affordable, but (thankfully!) Zara has helped bridge the two. Each season, I find several standout items from this beloved high-street store that are both stylish and budget-friendly. My favorite way to wear these easy-on-the-wallet pieces is by pairing them with staples I already have in my closet. By 58, I’ve certainly learned the art of mastering affordable chic over the years. It’s not just about finding on-trend, fashionable pieces at a good price point; it’s more about how you mix the clothes with the perfect shoes, bags, and accessories you already own. Ahead, see the Zara favorites currently on rotation in my closet.”
