I'm the girl who wears fake diamond stud earrings (the small studs, not the huge gaudy ones) and never changes them. I have three necklaces - that I never wear. And the only bracelet I own is my sisters. I do wear a watch every where I go, but I'm told this is not an accessory. And then they laughed at me for even suggesting it was. Accessory bullies. It's a real problem in today's society.
I'm currently looking to make an employment change. The job I'm hoping to get means going into LA every day. Yes, I know, I'm giving up my cushy work-from-home job, but I'm hoping career wise, this change will be worth it. So that means going into an office every day. A real honest to goodness professional setting. And I just bet my typical jeans, t-shirts and flip flops just aren't going to cut it. I might have to wear skirts, blouses and dress shoes! This is horrifying on so many levels and will absolutely require a new wardrobe, which I can do. It also means accessorizing. ACCESSORIZING. It's worth writing in all caps because it's just that scary. Scary like CLOWNS.
I honestly just don't know how women pull these things together. Heck, I only traded in my back-pocket wallet for a purse about 2 years ago! When they were passing out these special abilities in heaven, I seriously must have gotten into the wrong line, because I know diddly. Do you know Squiddly Diddly?
So I'm putting this out to the masses. How do you figure out what goes with what? What's a good way to start an accessorizing collection. How do you know when to layer and when not to? Are there rules about this stuff? Can anyone learn? Is there a secret handshake? A special password? I'm willing to learn people, but I'm going to need some help.
Seriously.. Thoughts?
