Accessories

I think that I have developed a taste for quirky shoes. I recently bought three shoes, all of them colorful and distinct. One is a wedge with rainbow-colored straps. Another are the glitter sandals. The last one is a teal flat with fish scales on it.

I suppose that works, since I've started moving towards more basic and neutral clothes. I've decided not to get any more patterned tops or skirts, and to forgo dresses in favor of separates. I end up rarely wearing any of my dresses, except the comfortable ones in solid colors.

The style tips I read in books and magazines usually suggest getting basic clothes and individualizing through accessories, anyway. I didn't use to understand that concept. But now I do, since I've started accumulating hats, scarves, shoes, and jewelry. Signature items. I wear the same ones all the time.
