Statement Pieces: Accessorizing to Stand Out

Self-expression can be found in many ways, but spicing up an outfit with pieces that speak to you is perhaps the most fun.

Statement pieces have been popping up more than ever with the resurgence of Y2K styles and novelty garments. These stand-out pieces can be unique by color, pattern, size, material, or texture, it doesn’t matter, but what we know is shocking fashion combinations are in!

Personal style and accessorizing have become a more prevalent discussion in the past few years due to TikTok.
