5 Seconds to a Fashionable Look—5 Affordable Items That Will Enhance an Outfit

To me, a "special fashion item" is an item you can add to an outfit to take it to the next level. It's the idea that you can enhance an ensemble in only five seconds. And yes, you get bonus points if said fashion-forward piece skews toward the more affordable side. I'm talking under £100.
Below, I'm sharing the five extra-special seasonal standouts I think will instantly add a chic twist to any look. Think earrings with a cool silhouette to amp up an everyday look. To showcase these items in action, I pulled inspirational imagery from some of my favourite fashion followers. If you vibe with any (or all) of the pieces, check out the shopping recommendations I sprinkled throughout.
1. Drop Earrings
Style Notes: In the jewellery realm, gorgeous drop earrings have incredible styling power. Simply add a cool pair, like the style featured here, to your everyday look, and the compliments will roll in.
