How do you accessorise your cocktail dress?

When it comes to accessories, keep it simple.

1. Shoes. We want high heels to create height. Strappy heels are a sexy option and pumps are oh-so-hot! Sandals are a big no-no when it comes to dressing up your party outfit.
2. Jewellery. Opt for a statement piece, a little something that stands out and makes you shine. This could be a lovely gold necklace or a chunky bracelet. 
3. Handbags. Go for a simple hand held clutch. Your clutch should complement your cocktail dress. If glitter is your style for the night, a sparkly little black clutch would suit very nicely.

Looking fab doesn't mean having to break the bank. Beginning Boutique has a wonderful selection of cocktail dresses to suit all budgets. On average a cocktail dress will set you back $100 which is a small price to pay for making some awesome memories with your bestie!
