2. Maxi dresses
Ok, this is not really an accessory. But it is one of my picks for spring and summer and I’m so glad this trend is still in! Nothing says femininity like a long, ankle sweeping, flowy dress. I get more complements from men and women when I wear these! You can find these from $20 - $200 depending on your budget.

7. Healthy Looking Hair
Looking Hair
One of the hottest accessories is one you already have - growing from your head! Whether its straight, curly, kinky, short or long, the right products can make a huge difference in how healthy and beautiful your hair looks. A good hair day, as you already know, is a good as rocking the most expensive accessory. For more on healthy hair check out these articles: http://www.self.com/beauty/2009/02/healthy-hair-defined

8. Good health & fitness
And finally - I would be totally remiss if I didn’t include this! A healthy and fit body leads to a healthy attitude and outlook. When you feel good, you look good. Eating right and exercising AND (in my humble opinion) taking the right supplements for you, all go a long way towards improving the quality of your life. Feeling good is the BEST accessory!
