T-Shirt and jeans? Plain Jane.

T-Shirt and jeans accessorized with a funky belt, a tie-dyed cashmere scarf and some unique baubles? Not so plain.

Spice up your wardrobe with some a little somethin’ somethin’ at Extra, a brand-new, accessory-only boutique in Highland Park.

Here you’ll find a mix of high-end and accessible pieces including jewelry, handbags, vintage cufflinks and cowboy boots.

Find coveted lines like Surly Girl Studio handbags, which are only sold at their end boutique in Beverly Hills. The line of bags is regularly seen at red carpet events and in TV shows including “Gossip Girl” and “Desperate Housewives.”

Then belt things up with the exquisite Italian leather belts from Mali Sabatasso. The line has buckles of gold, brass, and rhodium which are inlaid with genuine pressed flowers and real butterflies.

Sorry Jane. Plain is out.
