Accessorizing

[Karren H]

So we all have the lingerie, dresses, skirts, hair, makeup, jewelry, shoes.....but how about all those necessary fem accessories?

I'm into accessorizing, all those little things that complete the package so to speak... Today I picked up the cutest pink umbrella....it is pouring out this morning ...and used it to come into the office from the parking lot. :)

Being up north there are also those necessary winter accessories....winter coat, gloves, mittens, cap, scarf....BOOTS!!! God I love boots!! Lol

So let's hear what's your favorite fem accessory......of a non-sexulal nature of coarse...hehehe

Love Karren

[Lisa Golightly]

(edit) Oh, I do have this key ring in the shape of a dress which I take everywhere for obvious reasons :)

[ColleenCD]

Good call Karren, I have a few ladies watches and purses. I also have a couple of necklaces. Recenty I found a necklace extender that's magnetized. It adds about 4 inches in length, so I can (with permission) borrow a them from my wife. :hugs:

For me it's my "clip on" earings and a bracelet that is just wide enough to cover my "watch tan"

[Angie G]

I have a few clip on earings and some necklaces I like to wear :hugs:

[ShannonDragon]

My earings & watch. With the right outfit, my fancy dragon neckless!

:tongueout

[pedalpusher]

Karren, Your picutures are beautiful I would like to add. I have accessories, purse, anklet, but a different one not mentioned, a leather cigarette case. Anybody have those?? Just curious

[Kimberly]

I'm finding buying the accessories quite hard -- all the sales rales full of tops seem to get in the way. I bought some bangles today, but they're too small for me. Dammit!! :( Would've been great with several outfits of mine.

I think accessories are a great way of polishing off the fem look. They set you apart from just a guy in a few girls clothes, I think and make you pass easier. (Not an advocate of the need to pass, you can take or leave this...) But I prefer bangles, necklesses... Never liked earings.

Dammit, I need to go accessories shopping!






BOOTS!!! God I love boots!!

Non-sexual nature? Awwww.... too bad.... :D

Anyway, a girl is not a girl without a shoulder bag! Plus, what would we do without something in our arm? We are guys, we tend to bend and wave our arms like darn monkeys! A medium-long strap shoulder bag forces one of our arms to stay in the right position. :happy: With the other one, we're on our own. :(

As Karren has said, every girl who wants to look her best needs to have a "total" look that is all together. Along with the shoes and bag making or breaking an outfit, the right jewelry makes an outfit. I also will wear a nice colorful neckscarf to enhance an outfit. And girls, remember, with jewelry, and other accessories-- less is more. The rule of thumb is--just before leaving the house, look into the mirror at your accessories. Then remove one item.

Karen,

I love accessories. I can not afford to purchase new clothing items very often. Accessories for me, are one way to feel like I am wearing a whole new look. Adding different elements, is the least expensive way to update or change an outfit. I have learned from experience over the years that it is best to never give away any accessories. I keep mine on hand, because they will likely come back in fashion again eventually.

I am a collector of hats, scarves, gloves, necklaces, broches, earrings and finger rings. I recently purchased a sterling silver chain and I wear many different pendants with it. Depending on my mood, I choose casual, career or dressy accessories. Mixing and matching can be fun and creative.:happy:

[Sam-antha]

Bracelet. Silk scarves -long ones.

Sports or open car(s)

Hi Karren,
Don't have too much for accessories. Have two pairs of clip-ons which I love to wear, but always worry about wearing them too much and having people notice my dimpled ears. Would like to get a nice necklace sometime. But my GF likes my hairy chest and doesn't want me to shave it. Hairy, and pretty chain, not so good together, let alone the pulling!
Winter time... would love to get some boots. I enjoy looking at the foot prints in the snow when I walk to work. Maybe someday I will make my own sexy prints in the snow.

:0)

[Katelyn]

I love ankle bracelets.

[Jenna1561]

I have recently started buying belts. Now as far as my fem fashion sense goes, belts are not utilitarian, I mean most are not really intended to do the job of holding up my jeans (yes, Karren, I know jeans are BAD, lol). But belts really can change a look.

I also like shoes, bracelets, shoes, necklaces, shoes, watches, shoes, bags, shoes, earrings, and, did I mention shoes. However, my fashion sense, is not very keen and I have no idea what shoes go with what fashions. I just wear what I like and think goes well, of course, almost anything can be paired with jeans. Now I know someone is going to jump on that statement and educate me; please do, and hurry.

As a guy, it's: hmm, let's see, wallet, trifold, black, here's one - bought.

Purse/bag: hmm, what am I looking for, hobo, clutch, shoulder bag, satchel, leather, cloth, other material, solid, pattern, lots of metal decorations, no metal decorations, color, lots of compartments, a big bucket, cheap, reasonable, expensive, outlandish, need a 2nd mortgage (no make that a 3rd mortgage - I forgot about the boots I just took out the loan for, lol).

Accessories can be fun, and I like Jodi's rule of thumb, take one off before leaving the house.

[Sam-antha]

Could we perhaps keep it to extra accessories ?

[lisa33tv]

i love scarves.chiffon or silk.square or long.90% of the time i finish an outfit with one.

[Annette49]

I like pins, especially when I am wearing a nice sweater.

Accessories are a must have to complete the look and feel. I've managed to collect lots of nice scarves, clip-on earrings, bracelets, everything else. Sure makes an average outfit look great! Nothing terribly expensive, mind you, just tasteful. I'm fortunate to be rather slender, so many girly things fit easily.

Love ya'll,

[Tracy_Victoria]

I'm a firm believer in using anything to increase "Fem Points" of an image. ie I have watches, glasses, Sunglasses, beads and bangles necklaces and broaches, all of which I use in different combinations

However My most unusual accessories have to be contact lenses. it really suprizing how much different you can make yourself look with a few simple stage craft tricks and contacts are one. not only do your eyes look very different, but you can wear colours to suit your wigs, ie blue eyes for blonde wigs, brown for darks.

A gold locket that that I wear now and then.

[Karren H]

I have a great collection of scarves......varying colors, lots of pinks, light sheer ones and winter ones....

Love Karren

[Penny]

Besides a whole jewery box full, I love scarves (mostly silk). I also have a large variety of butterfly clips and other assortment of hair ornaments and such.

[JeanneF]

I suck as far as accessorizing. Pretty much I always wear a pair of gold hoops (I do love having piereced ears!), a watch, a gold Star of David necklace, and my little black Prada bag. Simple and goes with just about everything.

I do have a pair of unisex "librarian" frame glasses that I wear in both boy and girl mode, but usually only wear them out on evenings where my contacts just seem to have an attitiude problem.

Hey Karren, being from the "Burgh", you have to have at least one babushka.:tongueout

Hi,

Before I start, I'm with "pedalpusher"-your pics look great!
To answer the question, I found a website in the UK from which I bought a nice new necklace and matching dangly earrings.
I also bought a couple of rings (expandable !) which when put together ,look like an engagement and wedding ring set!! It fends off the unwanted attentions , if you know what I mean.
Apart from that, I see a couple of gurls reckon boots are an accessory.I'm not sure about that-boots to me are more of a necessity, as I'm a bit of a fetishist.Where I live ,you need 'em too in the winter
That's why it's my favourite time of year to dress...........
An accessorized gurl is a happy gurl !!

[Billijo49504]

I have about half a dozen watches and then there are PURSES!!!!...BJ

[RedBaron]

All of the above for me. Lots of jewelry. I include watches in that, I have about 100 of them in different colors and styles so I have always one that goes with any outfit. About 1/3 of them are American Indian styles, silver tips with stone inlays. Lots of dangly earrings, again quite a few American Indian ones. Different rings. I usually wear one ring on each hand. My umbrellas are always pink or purple. And I always wear a hat (cowgirl style). I have hats in red, pink, purple, blue, black and straw, something for every outfit.

And of course boots! I love high-heeled boots. I just added a few pairs with 3-4" stilleto heels, I love them. :wave:
