Right about now, your usual black-blouse-black-pants-black-shoes repertoire is starting to feel about as played as a Law & Order rerun you can practically lip-sync. (No judgment.) Even the most predictable repeat, however, can be livened up with a special guest star or two. This season, the coveted cameos go to strappy flat sandals, vintage-inspired shades, and a vibrant tote. With these accessories, adding some style and spirit to your old reliables is an open-and-shut case.
