Sounds like you've done a good accessories edit and analysis.

Sometimes, I feel like the only woman in America who doesn't wear earrings.  I'm impressed you culled as much as you did. It's so easy to keep accessories around when they take up such little space.

Love me a watch with a dark, dramatic face like that. Wish I needed it!  I can't remember what your climate is like, but I often justify a new sunglasses purchase in the fall because I use them all winter to deal with snow/ice glare, especially when driving. Plus, there are some great end-of-season deals on sunnies this time of year.

I think I should be able to finish the actual edit by Monday, though I will be post the results throughout next week. I haven't been wearing many accessories in the last few years other than watches, and occasional scarf  or belt, but I hope to change that this season with maximalism trending.  I went through my collection and purged about 25% in most categories, and here is the general breakdown. Glasses:  I am nearsighted, but don't wear them all the time, only for movies, talks and such.  My main pair is teal, and have a back-up, older pair in eggplant - I love the color but the shape is not the best for me. Sunglasses:  I used to be in good shape  here with a pair over oversize black Guccis and blue-grey medium sized Marc by Marc Jacobs.  Then at the beginning of the year I lost a little screw on the Guccis, and managed to loose the MJs :(  I bought a cheap tortoise pair to tide me over the summer.  I need to see if the Guccis can be fixed and probably should invest in a nice new pair next spring. Belts:  I have a nice and pretty large collection in various neutrals and some fun patterns.  I do not need anything new here, but would the right rose gold belt to match my rose gold and blush shoes. Watches: I have two I wear all the time, white Michael Kors and mixed metal Marc Jacobs ( 1 and 2).  I have a third, MJ too, I used to wear all the time - like #3 but with silver metal and pewter leather  strap.  The strap broke from use and Nordies hasn't been able to replace it. I need to see if watch repair shops can help.  I would really love an eggplant new watch like the MK in #4, but sadly not in the budget this season. Scarves:  I have a ridiculous amount of shapes, sizes and weights. I have always liked scarves and wore them moderately.  After some major neck surgeries 3 years ago, I was left with nasty large scars and wore scarves or higher necklines all the time till early 2015 to hide them. This is when my collection ballooned, especially since I received tons of them as gifts as my friends knew I was very sensitive about covering my neck.  Winter accessories (hats, gloves, scarves):  I get cold easily and wear all the three all the time in colder weather. I have realized that my preffered way of wearing them is to have a hat and scarf that match/go together and a simple pair of lined leather gloves that blends well with the coat I am wearing.  I have three such pairs of gloves (black, grey and burgundy) and am well covered there.  I certainly have a decent amount of hats and scarves but some of them are mismatched. About two winters ago I managed to loose 4 or 5 hats in single season due to lots of stress I was going through at the time health wise.  I have replaced some, but still do not quite like the state of my collection.  I would love a matching scarf/hat cashmere set in light blue or burgundy. I am definitely planning to get  simple black wool beret to go with my new military TT coat.  I am also on lookout for a nice plum scarf to go with a fun hat/gloves set from last winter (#5 and #6). Costume jewelry:  I do not wear rings.  I  have some bracelets, but wear them extremely rarely, and only something  like a big statement cuff. My ears used to be pierced but they closed for some reason and formed some scar tissue, and I have been nervous about re-piercing them, though I would like to wear earrings occasionally. My main jewelry category is necklaces, and I am hoping to start wearing them more again.  I have a lot of chokers, especially soft fabric ones, for the same neck surgery reasons mentioned above in the scarves category.  I was very happy to see they are trending again this season, and am looking forward to wearing them.  I  may pick up one or two fun new inexpensive versions.  I would also like to find 1-2  non-choker statement-y necklaces.  I have some older ones, but would like something more current.
