I didn't catch it when it originally posted, for some reason. I have to admit, I hardly give a second thought to my accessories. I had no idea there was so much to think about, lol. I have diamond stud earrings that I wear 99.9% of the time. Recently I've begun to buy some dangly earrings for fun evenings out, though. I have one rally nice 16" sterling necklace by John Hardy that I wear anytime I dress up and it fits in the neck of what I'm wearing. I'm realizing from this post that it probably doesn't go with everything the way I thought it did. Rebecca, I'd love to see more posts on accessorizing with earrings and necklaces!

A good fitter at the optometrist should be able to help you. Pick one that has interesting glasses themselves. If you don't have peirced ears, don't forget the clip on options! Before I got mine peirced I used these all the time. The other more permanent option would be a hair colour, or streaks as well.

Wearing a brooch is such a staple accessory I'm sitting here asking myself, "why didn't I think to have that on my original list?" Great point! Hi Gauri!

I guess this has the added bonus of highlighting my face, but I just do it because it looks cute :) When I don’t feel like wearing a necklace, I often wear a brooch in the centre of my shoulder, near my collar.

But I don't really want to give myself a reason to look forward to that day, so I better start thickening up my skin now, right? BTW, bonnie, more later = my honey's home, I had better give him the greeting he deserves. A couple of more things about how I chose my glasses: I like a slightly more delicate frame, since I have light bone structure and smallish features. The temples (is that what they are called?) are metallic, so they blend in with my hair, but they wouldn't have to be. I think it's good to approximate some of the line movement in the face, if possible. For example, curved eyebrows might look good with a more curved frame; mine have a bit of a diagonal movement on the sides, and so on. Do these thoughts give you any ideas? Can't wait to see what you get. Personally, I have decided I am going to live with these as long as I can, hopefully until bigger ones come back in style. It would be nice to not have the frame visible.

Now that's the kind of beautiful scarf I'm talkin' about! Today I put on a pretty, light pink scarf tied as a headband in my hair and let the ends dangle about my neck. I thought it looked pretty and feminine, but my teenaged sons said, "Ya look like a hippy, Mom." Well.......maybe a little, but I liked it. I didn't wear it out. Maybe next time. I also have some silk cords and leather cords that I slide pendants on. It's fun to be able to change them out. ~Jody I luv Wendy’s scarf! Now that’s the kind of beautiful scarf I’m talkin’ about!
