Style Tip 39. Balance your accessories

Accessories are as much a part of your outfit as your shoes or your skirt.

So don't forget about balance and proportion when you're choosing which earrings to wear or what handbag to use.

The size, shape and stature of your accessories should match that of the clothes you're wearing.

For example, a bulky handbag is too much for a pretty, summery dress, whereas it's perfect for a thick trouser suit.
