Moda de Argentina Part III: Accessories

Like the old saying goes- Accessories make or break an outfit. So why would you even risk showing up with the wrong hairpiece or belt if you could help it? And that's why I'm here.

Fashion Tip #3: Accessorize as if Madonna attended Woodstock
The situation: I came from the United States where stick straight hair and tamed ringlets rule, simple cinch belts and wristlets complete an outfit, and getting creative comes with a 'hipster' label. Now in Argentina, it's not only that I'm studying abroad in an entirely different country, but I feel as if I'm in a different, warped era of fashion. Madonna's made a comeback y'all, and she's gone all bohemian on us.
The solution: Embrace the hippie-'80s fashion fusion! Go ahead and raise that long ponytail of yours to the crown of your head and flip it to one side. Pair crocheted vests with floral dresses, but even it out with a large plastic cross necklace. And nothing quite says you've made it through the wilderness like clogs alongside neon lips and scrunchies.
The compromise: You don't have to completely blast to the past to be fashion forward. One historic accessory a day keeps the fashion police away. Rock a hair clip with a simple belt or work in some flower power with a pin. The trick is to balance '80s with bohemian... then you can let the good times roll.
