4 Pieces of Flair Every Girl Needs for Her Outfit

8858665887?profile=originalStaying stylish is a hard job, but someone's got to do it. Luckily, fashion isn't always about the trends. Instead, it's about being true to you and customizing your look with fun pieces and outfits that are uniquely you. Fashion lets you be whoever you want, and while it's always fun to try out the latest trends, there are some essential pieces every girl can count on no matter what the season to stay glam.

Iron-on Patches

You can dress up denim in a flash with some iron-on patches. Found at your local arts & craft store (or online at sites like Etsy), these patches are easy to apply and come in all sorts of fun designs. You can find one for your favorite band, pick a cute design of your fave food or look for a word that holds some personal meaning to you. Patches are extra fun because you can wear them in the winter on a retro jean jacket or on denim shorts during the summer. The only problem is finding enough space for them all.

Headbands

Whether they're just to keep your hair out of your eyes or to dress up jeans and a comfy top, headbands are a great accessory that adds a dash of glamor and style to any outfit. They're also great no matter what type of hair you have, so it's a great way to style your hair without having to deal with the hassle of waking up early, tons of products and straighteners.

Fashion Charms

Fashion charms can go on just about anything. Dress up sneakers, embellish bracelets and spruce up purses with fashion charms from brands as luxurious as Swarovski and down-to-earth as Forever 21. Some companies, like Snap’t, know how easily fashion charms can be used to make homemade jewelry, which isn't just a fantastic way to express your style, but also a fun hobby.

Scarves

If you think scarves are just for the winter, think again. While they're a necessity in the colder months, scarves can actually be worn all year and come in a variety of textures, patterns and styles. If you want to make a statement in the fall, pick up a wool infinity scarf that adds volume to your look. In the spring and summer, thin, cotton scarves can be draped over shoulders in the evening or tied into fun knots during the day to dress up jeans and a pair of flats. Scarves.com has a great scarves guide that covers the five most popular styles and gives tips on how you can wear them.

Finding Your Style

If you aren't sure what accessories or look suits you best, experiment. Pair a sweater you'd usually only wear with jeans with a pair of colorful pants or leggings, and swap sneakers for loafers or boots to dress up an outfit. The best part about fashion is that there really are no rules, so you can mix and match as much as you want and you're the judge. Be confident in your craziness; it's okay to wear something other people think are weird so long as it makes you happy.

Most of all, never underestimate the power of a few good accessories. The pieces above come in such a large variety that you can pair them with just about any look and manage to make it look fresh and unique.
