HOW TO REFRESH YOUR WARDROBE

But add a few modern accessories, and you can update your look in a much more affordable way.

Here are just a few ways you can update your everyday style, making it feel more modern, with some key accessories.

Traditionally, most people would pair a feminine shoe (like a heel, or a ballet flat) with a dress, but why not add a little more edge by adding a more on-trend shoe?

An ankle boot or a leather trainer can definitely give your frock a more modern spin.

Love a flat shoe? Then make sure you add a pair of loafers or two to your wardrobe.

They look great with jeans and pants, but can also be worn with a dress to give it a more updated, on trend appeal.
