What Is In My Closet? Accessorize! March 2014
Scarves
Scarves are
extremely versatile and you should have a collection of them. Choose textures and colors according to
seasons and depending upon what you are going to wear with your scarf. Need a lesson in tying them? Watch the scene
in the delightful movie “ Le Divorce” where Glenn Close explains to Kate Hutson
how French women use scarves. Invest in a few designer scarves. They will add an instant chic to any outfit.
Belts
Belts are another great accessory. Here too you can be playful with color and
texture; don’t be afraid of boldness! The
buckle itself can be a statement and as decorative as a piece of jewelry. Opt for quality; a fine leather belt is
timeless.
Handbags and
Pocketbooks
Quality! Quality!
Quality! Yes, invest in a few high end
designer handbags. Have at least one for
every season. I have an Italian designer
handbag I adore to rediscover every summer when I change my closets. It is gorgeous and won’t go out of style.
Hats
Who wears them anymore except in winter? I
do occasionally and I always feel well put together when I wear a flattering
hat or a beret. It can be so
feminine. No baseball caps or bomber
hats please…leave those for the guys!
Sunglasses
Get those
expensive designer power shades! They
are a must for a stylish look. Keep them
safely in a case and be careful not to lose them.
Shoes
I consider shoes
an accessory. Always choose comfortable
shoes that fit well. If your shoes are
not comfortable it will show in the way you walk. That said, by all means avoid “orthopedic”
looking shoes regardless what the trend of the day is. Here too choose quality and
design over quantity.
Costume
Jewelry
Mix and match
faux with real, but do it wisely and discreetly. Stay away from wearing too much jewelry…it
can look kitschy. Occasionally wear a
bold piece of costume jewelry. I love
beads and pearls. I often mix and match
several necklaces to create a unique look. Pearls look particularly pretty in the summer.
