1. Chunky jewelry. 

Thick jewelry is becoming a fashion statement, allowing for casual and lounge outfits to become elevated without much help. Chunky jewelry, in both silver or gold, helps to refine an outfit and change its look, as the bold contrast between the shine of the jewls and an outfit is very eye-catching.

You can support small businesses by considering the wide range of affordable chunky jewelry on Etsy or layer the jewelry you already have to create a more striking look.

2. Pastels

Pastels are not solely confined to spring anymore and have become the perfect colors to start wearing this summer. You can incorporate pastel into your style, not only by way of clothes, but through accessories like purses, hair accessories or shoes.

Mixing up the colors that you incorporate into your style can be a fun statement that doesn't have to break your bank, so consider either accessorizing with pastels you already own or integrating some new affordable pieces into your collection.

3. Tie-dye

If you can't get enough of the current tie dye trend and want to hop on the train, you can either find affordable pieces like socks, t-shirts or sets on Amazon or you can create the look yourself with a tie dye kit or bleach. If you want to get a matching tie dye set, Amazon has various color options such as the PrettyGarden Tie-Dye Two Piece set that retails for $25.99.

Although tie-dye sets might be favored more popularly, you don't have to conform to wearing a matching set if it doesn't suit your style. You can still add small touches of tie-dye into your outfit by way of socks, which you can purchase as a five piece set on Amazon for $19.99. If you are more of a DIY type of person, you can make use of solid colored clothing by tie dyeing it yourself with bleach or with a multi colored tie dye kit that retails for $13.49 on Amazon.

4. Highlights and fun hair colors

If you enjoy switching up your look by way of altering your hair and want to try out a fun new style, consider adding some chunky bang highlights or adding a pop of color in your hair. There are many ways to create a fresh look that can complement a new style for a more eye-catching appearance, some that don't even require permanent damage and alterations.

If you are considering highlighting or dyeing your hair a fun color, you can test out how you will look by covering a piece of your hair with concealer to lighten it and adding colored eyeshadow on top of it. You don't have to permanently change your hair and can use this temporary method to achieve different hair looks every day or you can color your hair with semi-permanent hair kits.

5. Repurposing old clothes

You don't have to purchase a whole new wardrobe to create a trendy fashion statement but instead redesign old clothes to create a new outfit. There are many ways to upcycle clothing such as creating crop tops, shorts out of jeans, using material scraps to create tank tops, adding lace, jewels or graphics onto clothes and more.

You can find upcycling tutorials and ideas on Pinterest, Youtube and blog posts such as Creative Fashion Blogs' 21 Upcycling Fashion Ideas. Not only can you obtain an entertaining creative outlet by repurposing your old clothes, but you can create a whole new outfit without spending a dime.

It is important to look at the potential of every piece of potential clothing so that you can create a bold one of a kind outfit that no one else has but you.
