When what is out there in stores and on-line is getting repetitive, when things aren't fitting well, when I can't find anything that really wows, and even when what I need and am looking for just isn't there (interesting basics) to buy in b&m stores , I turn my focus to bringing up my game accessory-wise. I have a job that has me out and about during the day, and my customers and clients see me fully dressed (coat, scarf, gloves etc) and also see my purse, my wallet, my keychain , my sunglasses, my pen and notebook, my hands especially - so nails, watch, rings, bracelets ...and my hair and earrings. ( I'm all about an ear cuff right now, and would LOVE To find a couple of really gorgeous dressier ones. ) I'm also after a new hat - a felt trilby probably.

Sometimes the clothes actually take a backseat! Right now I am not finding inspiration in sweaters and jeans and pants and booties (probably from a visual on-line overdose) but I AM getting jazzed about a couple of new work-specific accessories. I've included a bunch in my finds below.

*disclaimer* - these are for inspiration only; they are pretty much all clipped from NAP - so the prices are nutty; but one can dream and learn from the best, right?

Now, off to do my nails in a rich, bright, deep colour .

Anyone else like to switch focus when clothes aren't working ?
