After our first fashion resolution of the yearย toย Be BOLD, we are moving right along to ourย second resolution. (Quick question: Were you able to incorporate some bold pieces into your wardrobe?)

The second Fashion New Yearโ€™s Resolution is to Be Creative. โ€œStyle is a way to say who youย are without having to speakโ€ โ€“ Rachel Zoe.

I truly believe this and why I am always looking for new ways to add some creative pieces to my outfits. Here are three ways you can add a little flair to your outfits.

ย  ย  ย  ย  1. ย  Wear a Statement Necklace: this is one of my favoriteย ways toย be creative. A great statement necklace always closes the deal on any outfit.

Try this one from Target for a simple look (jade color). Or for a cool look try this from ASOSย (black).ย Or if you’re so inclined go with this piece from Anthropologieย (gold):

ย  ย  ย  2. ย Add Texture to your outfits:ย texture!! I just love how a little can go a long way in jazzing up any outfit.

– For just a little bit extra, try a studded purse like these satchels from TJ Maxxย (orange, navy):

– Upgrade your footwear with some patterns like this floral Python print:

– Or add a bit of edge to your outfit with this quilted leather jacket from the Limited:

ย  ย  ย 3. ย Add Frills or Feathers to your outfit:ย now this may not be for everyone or could easily get out of hand, but I think a little can go a long way to add fun to an outfit.

For a little bit of emphasis, try this flirty dress from Modcloth (with a statement necklace ORย those heels above perhaps?):

For a little more fun, try this ruffled sleeve blouse from Target:

And if youโ€™re feeling especially adventurous (for my taste) try this faux feather vest from Asos:
