Time to break out all those wardrobe accessories you unwrapped this holiday season! They made great gifts; jewelry, scarves, gloves and hats always do. If you don’t own these essential accessories, it’s time to invest and/or upgrade. Especially now that we’ve plunged into polar vortex temperatures, some of these accessories are critical to brave the arctic air. January is historically the slowest retail month of the year – meaning sales abound. So here’s a list to get you started:

bagFind the tote that’s perfect for work. And weekends. And jet-setting. And just about every single event on your calendar. Every style and color exists. You’ll even find fringe and studded details on trendy totes. Seek out compartments and pockets that keep you organized.

Make a statement and sparkle. This season, more is more. Big statement necklaces with high shine are critical to any day-to-night look. Want to layer multiple necklaces? Put the longest one on first and then layer over with a shorter one. Jewels and metals should blend but not match too closely.

Chilly day? Reach for textured ponchos and light wraps to keep warm – without sacrificing style.

beaniesBright beanies. So colorful and cute. And so necessary for keeping out that winter chill.

Bundle up! That unexpected, too-early-on-the-calendar cold day has come and more chilly days are ahead. Playful scarves and tech-friendly gloves will make it semi-bearable. Santa brought The Fashion Plate the best pair of polka dot fleece gloves with tech-friendly fingers to text and talk.
