Thank you Rena, Shana, Louise and Jean! Your comments mean a lot to me.
Rena, that's a good question, thanks for asking. I've mainly learned to accessorize through trial and error. Because I usually wear varying necklines, I have found that I really like bracelets and rings best. Through trial and error, I figured out that I like cuff bracelets, because they are the most comfortable to wear. Unlike bangles, cuffs are usually more flexible, or they are already in kind of an oval shape, whereas bangles are almost always stiff circles. When I rest my arms on a desk in class taking notes, the bangles dig into my wrist. Plus, the jangle around and make a lot of noise if you are wearing more than one. So, I just never buy or wear them. I also like rings, so I buy cocktail sized rings almost exclusively, because they are just more noticeable. I have a few accessories that are "statement" pieces, so if I wear one of those, I don't wear any other jewelry, and if I wear a scarf, I keep it more subdued. But I have a larger gold cuff bracelet that I wear a lot. It's kind of my go-to bracelet when I feel like an outfit needs something, but doesn't need a statement piece. Phew, that was long. Let me think a little more about it, maybe I can wittle it down to a more manageable and easier to follow formula.
