Must Have Accessories

As I was playing on Polyvore trying to come up with an idea for a travel outfit, it dawned on me, almost everything I chose was an accessory! And as I think about it, I'm constantly switching out purses, scarves, jewelry. I love accessories and my favorite must have is Le Scarf.

What is your must have, love-it everyday accessory?

I'm a chunky bangle bracelet girl myself! (chunky bracelet, that is - not a chunky girl!)

Not counting my wedding rings - I'm a scarf girl - I wear one almost everyday year round - either around my neck, around my waist, tied onto my handbag, or wrapped around my hat. Love them!

I'm a necklace and watch girl. I like scarves but mostly wear them during fall/winter/spring. I'm more likely to wear an artsy necklace. I have a nice mixed metals watch that I wear when I go out of the house. I want to add to my collection an over-sized leather-band one and a white one.

I have to pick just one type of accessory?! Okay fine I would have to say shoes. I own over 100 pairs (I know, it's ridiculous) and I'm always collecting more. Scarves come in a close 2nd, though. Like Marley, I wear one almost every day!

None. I'm not much of an accessories gal.

Do handbags count? If they do, then my fave is a colorful bag.

If not... eh, I guess delicate necklaces?

At the moment, I'm loving my white ceramic BF watch and my white purse with black accents

Earrings are generally the only thing I remember to put on.

I've learned to love scarves, but necklaces will always hold first dibs on my affection. If I could only wear one accessory every for the rest of my life, it would have to be my chunky creamy pearls.

Following Michelle's lead I would say that if I could only wear one accessory for the rest of my life it would be my silver golfball size hoop earrings. But I am learning to love necklaces, after years of earring wear, and even more recently getting into fashion watches.

I am an earring girl from way back. I wear earrings every waking moment, even at the gym. After that, it's my wedding ring and my watch. Oh, and my bags, of course! Everything else is far, far behind. I do love my scarves and I am becoming fonder of my bracelets and necklaces.

Necklaces and scarves all the way! And I've quickly become addicted to wearing a watch again on a daily basis.

long necklaces or large bracelets are my go-to accessory, but not together!

The only things I wear everyday without fail are a watch and my engagement ring. These are more for practical than stylish reasons though. My favourite accessory is therefore a scarf. Luckily I live in the chilly UK and can wear them nearly all through the year! x

Louise, you and I live in similar climates and I find I wear scarves almost year round.

Michelle - spot on with the pearls! I too wear pearls almsot every day, even gardening.

Angie - you are inspiring me to put away my contacts and find some outrageous glasses! (I wear reading specs with my contacts now). Will have to start investigating this soon.

KeepTheKey - wow! I'd LOVE to see your shoe collection.

I recently found a great brooch at a Salvation Army and working on incorporating it into an outfit (some SA's have boutiques - you can find some amazing antique items there).

I love accessories too! I tend to favor simpler outfits so I like to make my accessories really pull their weight Still working on building my collection though.

I wear earrings and my wedding ring daily regardless of outfit function (/highfive Mary), all others are up to the outfit. Shoes are my favorite, but I also like scarves (cotton, wool, silk...), swap my purses (I'm not yet on Team Handbag, but working to it!), wear all types of jewelry (necklaces, bracelets, rings...), and various types/styles of belts. Just getting into hosiery, still new there.

unless i am at the gym, beach, etc. i am never without my wedding rings, watch, and a pair of earrings.

Purses, hands down. Followed by earrings, bracelets (vain abt my hands since I quit biting my nails, lol!). I wear a scarf almost every day to work because I have a tattoo I have to cover up.

Rachel

I always wear a watch, earrings and a bracelet my boyfriend gave me. I'm starting to wear more necklaces and scarves.
