What’s Your Go-To Accessory?
Posted on Feb 20, 2009 8:56:18 AM  |  By MichelleMadhok

What do you add to an outfit when you feel like it’s a bit too ho-hum?



For me, shoes rotate constantly and bags aren’t usually statement-making. When I feel the need for a little something sparkly, I pull out a long gold necklace, a thin chain interspersed with larger hoops that looks a lot like these; the one on the left ($79.50 at Martin + Osa) is long like mine, though the necklace at right ($149.99 at Kohl’s) approximates the look pretty well, too.

What I love about this necklace is that while it goes with everything from prints to solids to plunging necklines, it looks a little different with each outfit. Unlike a statement necklace (though we do love statement necklaces), it adds a little flair without becoming the centerpiece.



What’s your favorite accessory? Why do you love it?

I have a cuff bracelet that my grandfather made for my grandmother. It's pretty thick yet simple. I love it and it always draws compliments.

Beautiful necklace!
My favorite accessory would have to be my initial pendent necklace that I got for myself with my very first paycheck. It has a lot of sentimental value and I wear it almost everyday. What I really love about it is that since its so classic looking I can wear it with anything. I even plan on naming my daughter with the same first initial so that she can wear it and love it just as much as I do.
It's amazing to see how a small piece of jewelry can hold so much sentimental value. I really enjoy reading other peoples stories about how much their jewelry means to them, and I came across the Jewelry Information Center (JIC) website (www.JIC.org), where I found some really inspiring stories. I actually submitted my own story and to my surprise, saw that I was entered to win a diamond necklace. Anyone who submits their story is entered to possibly win. I highly recommend checking it out; one of us might be adding a new favorite accessory to our collection!

Since I am a shirt and jeans person who likes neutral colors, I choose/buy handbags that have embroidery and gold or that is unique in shape. With that, I feel like I'm ready to go anywhere even with my plain outfit :)
