Exes and Accessories

Alright, listen up people! My boyfriend's ex-girlfriend will be rolling through town next weekend. As they had an amiable breakup and remain friends, I will be meeting her for the first time. When meeting a boyfriend's ex-girlfriend, it is important to make sure that you look better than her at all times. This includes looks and personality, but I will focus on the former.

You don't want your boyfriend to know that something is up, so you need to intimidate the ex-girlfriend in a subtle way. This can best be accomplished through accessories! They are the most inexpensive way to update your look and also relay the unspoken message that you know what's up and you got "it" (not to mention him). This fall, big bold accessories are baaaack! Hello, 80's - but with a modern twist, of course!

For earrings I love these vintage swallow charms by Lucky Looloo . The locket earrings are also a great choice because you now have his heart. For necklaces, wood works as a great transition piece to take your style into the fall. I also love punchy colors to spruce up an otherwise casual look. I've never been one to wear rings, but for bracelets, you can't beat a good gold cuff . This one is especially appealing because of the wood with the gold studded detail. For the rest of my intimidate-the-ex-girlfriend look, I'll wear a cute basic tank top with my sevens, some stylish flats, and of course a sweet "back off biatch" attitude. Ahhh, the beauty of understated elegance.
