6 Timeless Accessories Everyone Should Invest In To Upgrade Nearly ANY Outfit

Accessories are a tricky game in the fashion world. On some days it's easy to find yourself wearing too many at once, and then on other days, it's always noticeable when you're bare of anything that sparkles or shines.

On top of that, the styles for accessories are constantly changing so staying on top of the trends can be challenging.

Though the tides of fashion trends tend to come in and go out every other decade, there are some pieces that are timeless. Here are six accessories that never get old and make your #OOTD pop every time.

Go-To Neutral Purse

@katespadeny

It can get tedious to constantly be switching the contents of your purse from one bag to another. Don't get me wrong, I love a bold statement purse as much as the next girl, but a reliable, neutral-colored bag that matches my everyday outfits is way more useful.

When selecting a purse you know you're going to use a lot, stick to blacks, whites, creams, and tans!

Stackable Rings

Dainty and stackable rings can make a simple outfit rise to the next level. This style of ring is easy to find in sets that have a cohesive look, so you can wear them all at the same time without overloading your hands.

Sticking with similar tones and metals for your rings adds flair to your jewelry game but doesn't distract or seem tacky.

Retro Sunglasses

Sunglasses are probably the most practical and versatile accessory you can buy. Almost all of them are going to protect your eyes from the sun but only a few styles are going to last you through different trends in fashion.

Dark black lenses with a metal, black, or tortoise frame are going to match every outfit no matter the season.

Classic Hat

If you're a hat person, finding one that you love is crucial and can be a distinctive piece within your personal style. You can go with a classic beanie, a baseball cap, or even a wide-brimmed felt hat like the one pictured above.

All of these hat styles have stood the test of time and pair well with just about anything.

Hair Scarf

Hair scarves are an accessory that can easily perk up your look when you're having a bad hair day! You can tie it all back into a ponytail, tie it into a headband, or go for a simple half-up-half-down look.

They don't just work in your hair, but other parts of your outfit, too. For example, you can tie it around your neck like an ascot, onto your belt loops to add a little flair to your denim, or onto the strap of your purse!

Bold & Basic Earrings

Regardless if you have your ears pierced or not, earrings are a simple and bold accessory to throw into an outfit to make it shine a bit more. You can go with a super on-trend style or stick with a timeless gold hoop.

Whether it's a Tuesday in the office or a Saturday night at the football game, it's perfect to add to whatever look you're going for.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
