Saturday Fashion Tip for Women: Next Level

Your wardrobe should be more than putting on the clothes in your closet. There is so much more to what you wear than just a blouse or a pair of pants. Take your look and your style to the next level by adding a little something extra.

Maybe your "something extra" is experimenting with your hair or makeup. Be adventurous with your jewelry and accessories. If you normally wear flats around town, try wearing bright pumps on a date. If you're used to being extravagant with your heels, why not wearing flat boots when you're having a girls night. Try doing "too much" for a little while -- you actually might find out that going out of your comfort zone is just what you need.

Here at F.C.Y.C., we're fans of accessories and jewelry. Adding a necklace or a belt will take your outfit from ordinary to being a head turner. Make something you have on a conversation piece. Remember -- "just enough" is never just enough. Be more.

Saturday Fashion Tip for Women: Protect Your Neck

Adding a scarf to your fall and winter wardrobe is like a no-brainer. Take advantage of vibrant colors and prints to add a little something extra to your outfit. Add a touch more of originality by tying the scarf in different ways.

Substitute your necklace for a printed scarf to wear around during the day. When it gets chilly at night, you can wrap your scarf around your shoulders to keep yourself warm.

Warehouse Baroque Animal Scarf - $38.41

Opt for a floral print on your scarf for added femininity. Pairing it with a solid color will allow the print to pop.

ASOS Black Based Floral Print Scarf - $26.19

A basic scarf will never go out of style. Keep a simple one in your closet to wear for dressy occasions. You'll need to have a few scarves you can switch in and out of your wardrobe for whatever you have planned for your day.

H&M Scarf - $12.95

Try an infinity scarf for a little variation in your wardrobe.

Saturday Fashion Tip for Women: It's in the bag

Your bag is the last piece of the puzzle that polishes off your outfit. At F.C.Y.C., we're fans of letting your bag speak for you. Add these interesting bags to your closet to have something to go with everything.

H&M Bag - $34.95

Keep your daytime looks in the fall simple with a staple brown bag. This bag carries everything while remaining chic. Plus, it's affordable at only $34.95.

Michael Kors Gia Satchel - $895

For the ladies with a larger budget, add this Michael Kors croc embossed bag to your wardrobe. This bag takes you stylishly from day to night and adds a nice texture to accentuate your outfit. F.C.Y.C. tip: if you're carrying around a statement bag like this one, keep the rest of your outfit simple. No need to overdo it.

ASOS Slot Through Portfolio Clutch - $34.92

Use a bright colored clutch when you're going out for a night on the town to add a statement to your outfit. For extra pop, wear a bright colored bag when you're wearing an outfit that is using neutral tones or a monochromatic color scheme to break up the colors.

ASOS Faux Croc Mini Bag - $26.19

Try an across body bag this season to your casual outfit. The ultimate in casual-chic, you'll have to pack light because these bags are usually small. Carry the essentials with you.

Saturday Fashion Tip for Women: Maintain the Manicure

One of the simplest ways that a woman can maintain an overall finished and polished appearance is to have (and maintain) a manicure.

butter LONDON - Toff $14

Your nail polish is a reflection of your personality. Women might take a few chances with the colors they choose for their wardrobe, but tend to be either conservative or completely out of the box when it comes to the color they add to their nails.

Essie - Power Clutch $8

Deborah Lippmann - Billionaire $16

F.C.Y.C. believes that the young woman on the go should stay conservative with her nail polish while in a corporate setting. Out of the box colors tend to show your youth and inexperience, and when trying to gain more responsibility and proving yourself in the work place, you might want to maintain neutral or basic colors until you get to the level in the company you'd like to be in. Dress for the job you want, not the job you have. While we personally love louder and brighter colors, save those for vacations and special occasions.

Essie - Case Study $8

Nars - Gallon $17

F.C.Y.C. recommends a shellac or gel manicure for ladies. Expect to pay an extra $10-20 more on the shellac or gel than you would for a regular manicure per visit. This manicure is to be done by a professional, will take about 45 minutes and includes the usage of a UV lamp. The extra cost pays for itself because the manicure will last without a chip or a crack for over two weeks when your nails grow out.

Saturday Fashion Tip for Women: The Year of the Dress

Even though the end of summer is rapidly approaching, there are still plenty of opportunities to wear my favorite go-to ensemble of this year: the dress.

While all of us know that the dress is meant to be worn in any season, and can be dressed up or dressed down, the best part about a dress lies in the detailing. Take it to the next level and highlight your best asset - I personally love to wear pieces with back detailing.

Asos.com has a few looks that can highlight what your best feature might be.

Shoulders:

Legs:

Back:

Pull out  a cardigan or a scarf for the chilly nights or slip on a blazer to get a different look for your favorite dress as we transition from summer to fall.
