Ladies and gentlemen, we all have been fashion bandits of this common mistake at least once or twice in our lifetime.  No accessories!  Now some of you may ask what does accessories mean?  Merriam-Webster defines it as, “an object or device not essential in itself but adding to the beauty, convenience, or effectiveness of something else”.  This means we must take our arms, ears, neck, hair and chest into account.  Ladies for us putting on a pair of earrings, necklace, scarf, bracelet or pendent takes our outfit to a whole new level.  Men for you, adding that watch, bracelet or tie takes you to that whole other level that will draw the attention that all men long for.

Ladies, you know we just do not dress to catch the eye of the opposite sex, but we concern ourselves with how other women will perceive us.  My rule is to always dress for myself and I am the only one that can stamp the seal of approval.  As I’ve been getting more into this whole fashion world I realize that I do dress for that other woman.  Over the last few weeks I’ve noticed that more women have complimented me on my accessories.  Now how strange is that?  Now I realize why….. you can walk into your office with a black skirt suit on and see two of the same suits, but what stands out more about your suit?  That lovely pendent you have on your left shoulder.  Maybe that beautiful bow shaped bracelet.  Did you catch that I mentioned hair?  Yes, hair.  Many times we wear our hair down or pulled up in ponytail.  With a ponytail we use the plain ole ponytail holder, but why?  Add some pizzazz to that head!!! I found a great site that had many of these accessories at some really great prices. Don’t worry about what your friends, co-workers nor that woman you pass walking down the street may think about how you accessorize, just do it.  Trust me, it will make you stand out above the rest and stop being BORING.

Men, I haven’t forgotten about you… wear a tie!!!!  Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s sexy to see a man with nice slacks and button shirt with the top button opened, but please understand that a tie makes a statement.  You need a nice quality tie and purchase one that is an eye catcher; don’t wear the same boring basic colors.  A man walking into a business meeting with a suit and tie demands respect without speaking a word. Versace and Armani make great ties with classic and statement colors and patterns.  To find a great tie at a great price checkout RoddyJonesTrading.com.  Also you need a watch (will discuss in later blogs about specifics of watch to wear) to make sure you are on time for that date you snagged while sporting that tie :grin:.   This is a great steal at $49.00, you cannot beat that for an authentic Versace.

Ladies and gentleman adding five minutes to your morning routine to add these few accessories will put you ahead in the fashion spotlight and make you feel great.  It’s not about impressing anyone it’s all about feeling better about yourself and demanding the attention you deserve.

Accessories is an area we could discuss all day.  I will add more about this topic within the following weeks, keep an eye out.  I will also be including accessorie Christmas gift ideas. Until next time, stop being so fashion boring and make that statement you’re hiding behind.

Take a moment and check out the sites I’ve recommended, there is  no need to pay high prices for accessories, don’t add accessories as a budget burden, but as YOUR fashion seal.
