At long last, here are the accessories for the colorful basic summer wardrobe I described in a post from weeks ago - better late than never, I say, although this post just barely squeaks in before the end of summer! Like the wardrobe, these accessories feature summery bright colors plus a flowers and butterflies theme. While they may not be the preference of those who like a neutral palette, if you are a free spirit who loves to dazzle the eye with your fashion choices then these selections should delight your senses!
Since my delightful inspiration model for this basic wardrobe seems to love handmade accessories, let's start with some unique jewelry options, most of them handcrafted by Etsy artists:

A few summery handbags add even more fun to this wardrobe:

Now that the feet are covered, let's add some headgear in the form of wide-brimmed lightweight hats:

Last but not least, a couple of light layers in case the weather cools down slightly or becomes damp, plus some eye protection in the form of brightly hued sunglasses:

And there you have it - unique and colorful accessories for an equally unique and colorful summer wardrobe! Despite the fact that my summer has been extremely hectic, leaving me little time to work on my blog, I really had fun with these posts. Many thanks to the fascinating woman who was the inspiration for this collection:

By the way, if you are intrigued by this colorfully eclectic wardrobe and are looking for your own inspiration piece to create a similar look, check out the rainbow-hued checkered silk Isaac Mizrahi blouse shown below, soon to be available from Target. It looks remarkably similar to the gauze plaid shirt that helped inspire this post's basic wardrobe (seen in the image at the top of the page). Just realize that if you can't live without this top you had better be prepared to pounce upon it as soon as it becomes available, because these special Target offerings sell out fast!
