Will this finally be my Year of the Accessory? I love accessories, especially on others, but when it comes to buying them for myself, I’m either overwhelmed or under-confident. However, since I’m preparing to give my “D+ Dressing without Stressing” workshop to Bottomless Closet clients in May, it’s time to face my fear, so I’ve enlisted my stylish friend Carol to help me. It’s incredible how Carol always finds the just-right piece to amp up her style. Tomorrow, I’m shadowing her to find out firsthand how she shops for jewelry and scarves. Later, she’ll use my purchases to answer questions like
- if you have to cover all cleavage in the workplace, how can you use accessories to soften a severe neckline?
- how do you choose the best basics for you?
- do watches, bracelets and rings make any difference when it comes to distracting from the bustline?
- what’s too small and what’s too big on me?
- what are the logistics of the balance point?
- how do I compensate for my neckline metal allergy?
If you have any questions, ask away!
Of course I’m going to be grilling Carol about scarves, but Imogen Lamport provides a head start with her newly posted video, How to Wear Scarves When You’re Busty. I’m thrilled that Imogen still writes for D+ cups even though she herself recently had a reduction.
I really need to conquer my fear of scarves. Over the last few years my mom has really gotten into wearing them and her favorite way to rationalize a closet refresh is to pass things on to me, except for scarves. If I can finally get over wearing long necklaces, this is the next logical step, right?
I have a lot of the same questions. I want to work out how to incorporate eyeglasses the best way. Also, I’d prefer to have a signature accessory that would work with nearly everything I wear instead of lots of accessories that sit in a pile because they aren’t quite right.
