A girly thread, what is your favourite accessory...

I'm too much of a tomboy I guess. I never cared much for "pretty" things. I feel naked without a watch, but it's just a $6 WalMart cheapie. I do have a silver band ring with tribal animal art on it that I have only taken off a few times in the last 15 years, but I'm generally not into jewelry either. I also have small sterling silver hoop earrings that I leave in all the time (2 holes per ear). The closest thing to "coordinating" that I do is wear a Ford ballcap when I'm in my Aspire and a Chevy ballcap when driving my Cobalt, LOL

Karen i cannot say i have exactly mastered the art of scarf wearing either, but my daughter Melissa showed me and by golly it does look quite good done that way,you fold it in half and then put it around your neck and then loop it, hard to explain on here, but it looks good and that is how i wear it, i am sure there are many other ways too.:)

Earrings definately.... and anyone who's met me can tell.
I always have on funky earrings.
I have to buy a pair everytime I go out of town somewhere. Most of the time, I won't spend a lot either. I just got back from New Orleans and bought 3 pairs from a local artist at the french market. They are very neat.

This is the artists website:

Lands End sandals and trekkers. And huge handbags so that I can carry the kitchen sink!

Bracelets and watches. I have quite a collection. Scarves were a favorite but here in SoCal....well...they just don't work.

I do have shawls in many colors and patterns as they are often needed in the evening....

I have to have my purse with me wherever I go. I don't own any expensive ones though.:o

I'd have to say flip-flops. I love all kinds--last summer I went crazy and bought like 10 pair so I wear different ones all the time. I also love purses. I always use the same one forever and then after something happens to it (like on my last one the zipper broke so I had to get another one) so then I just use the other one til I need a new one. Right now my purse is black with white poka dots all over--very cute
I also love earrings. I have lots of pairs. I like to wear different ones to work each day. My friend and I always like to see what kind of earrings we're wearing that day cause we both wear a lot of different kinds.
Then I also like rings, but I only wear one at a time. And nothing too big or noticeable for me. I like cute simple rings that don't show up a lot.
But overall I'd say flops are my fav accessory!!!!

I'd have to say I'm a self confessed purse-a-holic.
I love them! :D

I guess for me it is just jewelry. And I wear just about the same thing every single day. My watch was a gift a long time ago and I treasure it. My engagement ring and wedding bands are pretty flashy so I don't need much more adornment than that. But I wear my college ring (proudly) to this day and I graduated 25 years ago! And I always wear my special bracelet Sandra got for me in Dennis Village many years ago when we visited her there. The only time it comes off is if I have to go through security at an airport. I wear the same earrings every day, also sapphires, to match my wedding rings. And I have two special necklaces, one is sapphire/diamonds (a very special wedding gift from Pet Talk friends) and the other is a small circle of diamonds that my husband gave me.

I am a very practical person. I usually have two or three good pair of shoes for winter and in the summer I have two or three pair of sandals. Right now I have three pair of Clark's sandals that I rotate, one black, one white, one brown. I carry the same purse until it literally falls apart. I have three necklaces, one is from Pictures on Gold and is a photo of Casey engraved in silver, one is a headshot of Casey painted on a dicroic bead from a lady on Ebay and the other is a black cat profile which reminded me of Tink when I bought it. I love earrings but I am usually so rushed in the morning that I don't put them on. I like to buy earrings for my daughter and "borrow" them. :D

Attaching a pic of my two necklaces which turned out a bit blurry.

The same here, except I only have one pair of Clarks... pout! I take it you mean handbag when you're saying purse? I've had the same for about 10 years! LOL!

I used to wear earrings, and I have some really nice ones - can't be bothered anymore, though.

Beeniesmom, I love the cat earring on the site - however, I'd like it as a necklace. :p

is moisturizer an accessory?:rolleyes:
