Two Trends: Red Shoes, Cord Necklaces

One way to perk up a look is with accessories, and these two tiny trends definitely do the trick. Red shoes have been popular for a while now, but the mood lift they offer is desperately needed. And cord necklaces, the type you could craft yourself at home if you were so inclined, are the perfect light touch to compliment a classic button-down shirt or a V-neck top. They also feel like a throwback to our high school and college years, which is hard to resist. Below, our favorites in each category.
