I currently have a collection of about 30 purses, clutches, totes, etc. And, yes, I DO coordinate with every outfit I wear!

My favorite accessory is....

my black kukui nut necklace from Hawaii! I absolutely love it, i wear it with everything! From a distance it just looks like a chunky bead necklace but when you get closer you realize the shapes are more organic, and I really like that- just love it!

My favorite accessory is...
Scarves! Vintage scarves, really bright ones from H&M, designer scarves, anything!
I tie them around my neck and go!

Against the better advice of the Babe herself, my favorite accessory is my ankle bracelet. When you're built with little tree stubs for legs, a delicate ankle bracelet with a pair of heels makes that area look far less stumpy.

Hi! I love wearing earrings or ankle bracelets. Ankle bracelets dress up the feet! And earrings make a woman feel like a woman in sweats or a pretty frock! :-)

Good Luck!

Are shoes an accessory? I mean, you need them to leave the house, so they really are a necessity.:-)

In any case, my answer is shoes. Classic, beautiful, footwear of all varieties.

Mine is a hairpin with little blue crystals all over it. It's beautiful and very special because I got it in London a few years ago, and my husband proposed to me during that trip :-)

My favorite acessory would have to be the amazing vintage jewlewlry i all over Asia, Japan, Singapore, and Korea. My absolute favorite find is a brass necklace with the shadow cutout of a little girl holding three balloons. I can pair it with anything and it adds a nice whimsical touch to the outfit.

My favorite accessory is my diamond stud earrings. no matter what the outfit is, these always look perfect and pull the look together.

It is so hard to come up with a favorite accessory. With the cold weather, scarves are a must! As for jewelry, my diamond studs go with everything.

My favorite accessory would have to be my pearl earrings. They're a classic that go with everything.
