A look back at all the eight simple yet stylish vacation outfits from Olivia Palermo reminds me again how powerful statement accessories can be:

A bright or animal print ballet flat adds fun and textures to our looks while being so easy to walk in; A delicate satin heel or eye-catching jewelry piece elevates a simple white dress or shirt; A straw tote or exotic tassel necklace makes an urban look laid-back and beach-ready. Best of all? They don’t take up much precious luggage space.

In Chinese: 我们度假系列中这八个简单又让人耳目一新的着装再次提醒了我们配饰的重要性：一双亮色或斑马纹的芭蕾平底鞋既舒适又能增加整体的色彩和趣味；一双精致的高跟鞋或一件抢眼的配饰能让即使最普通的白裙或T恤脱颖而出；一个充满田园气息的编织包或带有异域风情的流苏项链则能瞬间把都市感很强的单品变得休闲起来。最重要的是，它们不会多占用我们行李箱里的宝贵空间。

Vacation is truly a time when we can dress for the mood: Go simple if ‘what to wear’ is the last thing you want to think about: No-brainer one piece dress, never-fail black and white; Extra bonus for a pop of color–be it a neon ballet flat, a bright orange lip or colored nails;

Go bold if you are in the mood, color burst with bright yellow, pink, green and more, don’t be afraid to add statement accessories, as long as you keep them in a similar tone.

In Chinese: 度假的一个好处是我们可以随着心情穿衣服，不再受各种着装要求的限制了：想穿得简单又出彩，黑白条纹的A字裙是最好的选择了，加上一抹亮色就足以让你脱颖而出：无论是荧光的平底鞋，一抹鲜艳的唇彩还是缤纷的美甲。

想穿得靓丽些，在色彩搭配和饰品的选择上下些功夫吧：鹅黄和浅绿，宝蓝和亮橘，炫紫和明黄等都是对比强烈又有时尚感的组合。如果要再加些配饰，那么尽量保持在一个色调里才不会破坏整体感。

1. Bop Bijoux link bracelet (on sale!)
2. ModCloth stripe skirt (great style here)
3. Lotusgrace striped taffeta dress (great buy here)
4. The Limited colorblock clutch
5. Sam Edelman ‘Felicia’ flat (more color options here)
