Recently I have worn the same minidress/tunic from American Apparel with a frequency rarely enjoyed by any item of my wardrobe. Interestingly enough, this dress was the first piece I bought from the ubiquitous chain and the one that should have worn through by now—but it hasn’t! So I’m looking for a few good accessories to keep The Tunic from becoming the only thing that identifies my style.
Ten Thousand Villages has a whole bunch of beautiful accessory options. One of my favorites is this tie necklace. Available for only $20 you can rest easy knowing that the artisans in India have been paid a fair price for their wares.
Finding something to cinch in the tunic is much more difficult for me. I’m very finicky about what i will accept around my waist, though I think i would be able to handle this corset belt from Arden B. The matte thickness of the belt is a nice alternative to the shiny and stretchy belts we’ve seen too much of in the last year.
I love to pair long subtle earrings with lots of big bangle bracelets. These two items together would work well with the magenta tunic above. Matching the color of the tunic is another option, but I prefer to up visual interest with contrasting or complementary colors instead.
