Handbags

Handbags are the designer accessory of choice. With so much shape going into silhouettes, it is easy to find a bag that matches your the style, color, and mood of your outfit. I is very important to make sure that you purse matches up with your shoes. This can be achieved by buying a variety of purses, or buying a purse that is the color of the majority of the clothes in your closet. I have a Dooney & Bourke purse that I carry almost all of the time. It is dark navy and hunter green, with a small line of deep yellow between the colors, and it has chocolate brown trim. I wear brown or navy almost everyday. So it was a worthwhile investment. I have many other less expensive purses and I couple that are of near equal value. The key in buying a purse id finding one that is functional and will last. I spent $195 for my D&B, but it everyday, and I have had it for 3 years. Many people who carry purses on a daily basis, opt to buy cheaper bags, and find themselves replacing these bags every 6-12 months, sometimes more frequently. When you think of paying $24.99 + tax, twice a year, or 3 times a year, for 3 years, that is $150-225. For the same price you could have a more expensive bag with many years still left in it. The choice is yours when it comes to what you will buy, and the style, but think heavily on what you choose. How long do you expect it to last? How often will you use it?

 

Accessory Jewelry

Earrings are another very important detail to your style. You need to take in to consideration the shape and size of your head, your skin tone, and the length of your hair. Never wear earrings that are bigger than your ears. This goes for all types of earrings. Costume jewelry is great, in moderation. But when it comes to earrings, try to stick to those that are gemstone, gold or silver studs or that are hoops. Big beaded button earrings in multiple colors are NOT attractive. Bracelets are another excellent choice for accessorizing. Worn in moderation, they can enhance your wrist. They should not be worn with shirts or jackets that have detail or ornate sleeves, (ruffles, detail, French cuffs, etc).

Underesstials

Underwear is important. Like your mom always said, "Always wear your best, just in case you are in an accident and have to go to the hospital." Your undergarments should match each other and should also match your clothing. And please do not buy cheap bras. We all know what happens with age, so take care of your breast now. The better you take care of them now the longer they will be able to stay up there. And the better the bra you wear, the better the support. Supported breast have less weight to carry on their own. Hence, they are likely to sag less. And as for panties, take care of them. Wash them in woolite, especially the really nice ones. You should have some cotton ones for that time of the month. I know you don't want to mess up your good panties, but please, spare the rags!! You deserve better. To try: Kotex disposable.
