Thanks for the great tips.

Secrets of accessories to your outfit, your body, and of one accessory to another.

* More at the waist means less at the neck and vice versa
* Accessories should be proportionate and harmonize with the size, shape, and color of your outfit. Trial and error are a very good practice using basic pieces first and adding trendy things later.
* Too much of a one color sometimes looks awkward.
* Petites should watch the size balance to their accessories.
* Quality made accessories shows the worth your money.
* Classic styles date less than novelty designs.
* Always keep shoes, belts and bags well maintained with regular visits to the repair shop.
* Dilapidated shoes or belt does not justify your diamond earrings.
* Don't overdo.

Hello
I hope I understand your question: you are wearing a pale pink dress with a v neck that has a white floral print at the hem? You want to know what shoes and bag to wear with it to your friend's simple wedding. If I've understood you correctly, you have a few choices. First, I would recommend high heeled strappy sandals that have a narrow heel, thin straps and look light and feminine. They can be silver which looks amazing with a pale pink and won't conflict with the white hem detail. If you choose this option, carry a silver clutch. You can also wear light bone providing the white floral detail is subtle. Again, match the bag to the shoes. Select something small and elegant...a clutch or dainty bag with a metal (preferably silver) shoulder chain. I'm not a big proponent of white sandals but if they are strappy and delicate and the dress has noticable white details, they may also be an option. If this is your choice, again, match the bag to the shoes. In terms of accessories, Wear a pretty bracelet and either small stud earrings and a simple necklace or more dramatic earrings with no necklace. Think in terms of white gold or silver. It will look great with silver sandals! Another option is to go with pearls....a simple pearl strand around your neck and stud earrings will look beautiful if the white detail is around the hem of the dress. In case I misunderstood the location of the white floral motif and it is actually around the neck of the dress, do not wear a nacklace at all and stick to earrings and a bracelet. Whatever you do, do not mix metals! For example, if you are wearing silver shoes, no yellow gold jewelry! Okay Chris, I hope that helps. If you'd like to write back with clarification I may be able to help you more because it was difficult to understand your question! Also, please feel free to contact me again if I can be of further help to you. Enjoy the wedding and thank you for choosing me for your fashion advice!

Hello
The style of a designer handbag is one of the main reasons why this particular fashion accessory is fun to shop for. There are so many different styles of handbags to choose from that is why it's so hard to choose just one handbag. Every outfit calls for different style of handbag so this gives women more reasons to buy a minimum of three handbag styles to match whatever their outfit is.

Tote Handbags are very popular because they are casual yet very practical to use. These bags usually fall in the middle of the body, around the elbow. They are usually big that's why they provide a lot of space for women's essential things that are too large for a purse. They usually only have one or two compartments and are available with a number of images on them or a simple solid color.

Thanks for the great thread,

Top Fashion Accessories Tips

# Buy conflict-free
Conflict or "blood" diamonds are sold, often illicitly, in war zones and used by rebel movements to fuel conflict and human-rights abuses in countries such as Angola, Cote d'Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Sierra Leone. Make sure your diamond retailer can provide paperwork or otherwise prove that the diamonds are conflict-free.

# Take care of your wares
Repair a torn purse strap or restring a broken necklace instead of consigning slightly damaged goods to the rubbish heap. Treating your accessories with a little TLC will also go a long way to extending their longevity, which is kinder to the environment than running through a series of semi-disposable replacements.

# Brevity is the soul of wit
Accessories are meant to complement your outfit, not take it over. And, anyway, wouldn't you rather be remembered for your sparkling wit rather than that blinding hunk of ice that was weighing your neck down? Jewelry that is simple and classic will stand you in good stead, regardless of the occasion—or decade, for that matter. Which brings us to our next point.

# Don't go with the flow
Pilot your own fashion destiny and unchain your heart from the vagaries of fashion trends. Being a follower instead of a leader will only bring you to a dark place filled with tears and the gnashing of teeth, plus a closet and dresser full of dated gewgaws and doodads that have long fallen out of favor with the fashion gods. One word: poncho.

# Buy indie
Think of "mall" as a four-letter word. Instead of shopping at a big-box retailer, which is likely to cut corners by purchasing from sweat shops, under compensating employees, and cheapening quality, check out the offerings of one of the thousands of indie crafters bringing their creative talents to market. Because craft businesses tend to be small one- or two-person operations, their carbon footprints are infinitely smaller to those of multinational retailers such as Wal-mart or Kmart. By supporting independent artisans, you're also taking a stand against the onslaught of crass commercialization and unmindful consumerism. Viva la revolution!
