Maybe you are a lucky duck and you have your Spring and Summer wardrobe already complete. Maybe you’ll buy a special piece here and there, but you’re not looking to fill any major gaps, like the elusive perfect pair of white jeans, because you have all of it covered. In that case, you might just want to pick up some new accessories to zush up what you already have (or what you’re renting!) Accessories are a good way to freshen your looks when your budget is tight too. a new pair of earrings, a great clutch, or killer shoes can breathe life into the clothes you already own and make you feel excited about wearing them again. Check out some of our favorite accessories that we have come across over the last week.

Statement Earrings

Give your studs and huggies a rest! These earrings are outfit-makers that will give any outfit a boost. The turquoise pair is my personal favorite.

Bold Clutches

You don’t have to twist my arm to add another bag to my collection. I am absolutely nuts for this Striped Clare V and I might gift it to myself for my birthday.

Fun Shoes

I always buy at least one pair of shoes a season, and this season, I’m looking for something a bit more unexpected. I have the leopard Keds in the list below, and I wear them a ton. I can’t even describe how comfortable they are. So what else should I add this season? I’m gravitating towards the gingham heel or the cheery yellow slide.

For years I was vehemently anti-backpack for work. I would stand in airports and see otherwise well-dressed men looking like they were about to hike Yosemite, and women in pumps with a Jansport on their back.

Most backpacks ruin a professional outfit. They are a distraction and ultimately knock out any sophistication in your look. The wrong one can make even the most seasoned executive look like a new hire.

But given the rise of more casual work environments, and diversity in how people commute to the office, be it on public transportation, or bike, being hands-free can be super helpful.

I changed my tune about backpacks because of this Tumi option. It is by far the best backpack for work. The designers must have been standing next to me in all those airports, watching the vein on my forehead throb, wondering how they can help me and decided to create a better alternative.

The Best Backpack for Work

Backpack, $295

If you are a frequent traveler or commute to the office every day with your laptop, this is for you. It has all the organization you need without going overboard (I hate when a bag has too many pockets and dividers.)

If you are on the road, it slips over your roller bag handle and sits comfortably on top. The shoulder straps are comfortable and will fit easily over your suit jacket or heavy coat. You can wear it on your back, or carry it by its top handle.

Inside, you have room for a 12′ laptop, and plenty of room for all your essentials. I like that it slips under the seat in front of you on the airplane, and keeps all your in-flight essentials tidy and easy to access.

Because it is Tumi quality nylon, it can take a beating, and stay in great shape. Stylistically, it’s chic and streamlined. You don’t want a backpack that draws attention; you want it to blend into your look.

Need a slightly larger option? They also make the same style that fits a 15″ laptop.
