Although we're having a lovely last gasp of summer here, it's going to be very cold, very soon. Because I am one of those people who is always cold anyway, I live in layers and bulky knits from October to April.

This has got me thinking about how best to accessorize, say, a cabled turtleneck sweater, or a bulky cardigan. I have a plum pullover with a fold-down turtleneck that is too bulky for a necklace. I love brooches of all kinds, but since the T-neck has a cable pattern, a brooch might be too dainty. I'm not sure if a scarf is too dressy. Maybe it depends on the material? So, should I focus on earrings and bracelets and leave the sweater itself plain? If earrings, are studs or hoops or dangling earrings better?

Thanks for any suggestions you might have!
