I think I may rock these Jak&Jil eyes tomorrow … They will go down real big at the office. Or not. Or maybe this eyewear/neckwear combo a la D&G? Tweet This!

{Scarf Envy}

Wealthy people are all about ‘basics’ — clothes that cost a ton but can be worn through multiple seasons and go with everything. People like me {i.e. poorer and bending down to pick up every rogue penny in the street} extoll the virtues of accessories. Basically, because that is how I can make my discount [...]

My So-Called Blog

I feel like Angela Chase in my new scarf and short hair cut! ♥♡♥ Happy February ♥♡♥ ___________ “School is a battlefield for your heart. So when Rayanne Graff told me my hair was holding me back, I had to listen. Cause she wasn’t just talking about my hair. She was talking about my life. [...]

Speaking of accessories …

... hats rock my world.

I must have been the Mad Hatter in a past life.

I mean it ...

Amazing-ness via Weardrobe. You look hot-t Samantha.

The Sartorialist is a forever genius. And this dame is adorable!

Sarah's posted pic makes me wish for sunshine among other things.

Not a conventional hat - but still fabulous - via Stockholm Streetstyle

Some of my hats, and believe me I have tooooooo many!

________________

Now folks here is a tough question about hat etiquette.

I say they are part of an outfit ...

... And it is acceptable for a lady to wear hers at dinner.

My husband strongly disagrees.

… a ‘brooch’ for all seasons.

Brooches — glam or grandmotherly? Modern or mundane? Sunny or Funny? Tacky or Terrific? I am pro-pin. But then again most of my friends do not hesitate to call me eccentric. Is a brooch still a way to add flair? Or a trend quickly heading to the trash heap? Thoughts? PS> I think it is [...]

‘watch’ing me ‘watch’ing you

Carolann DeMatos — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 09:10:58 +0000

What time is it? ... Oh, ladies and gents it is multiple watch time. I first saw this trend in some other blogs, etc. ... but-tttt ... ... well when I wear it, fellow employees at my office look at me funny. And even ask me what if there is something wrong with me or my watches. I personally love the trend. I like accessories {and life} in excess. You?

Thoughts?

Big Rings — Class or Trash?

Carolann DeMatos — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 08:32:23 +0000

Lately I only wear big rings. I usually try to restrain myself to wearing them one at a time - one hand only - in order not to look too tawdry {showy but cheap and of poor quality}. I am just in ♥ with cocktail rings. The bigger the better. I am totally crushing on this one right now - and plan to buy it as soon as it is back in stock. Hot, right? ... Right? ... Riiiigghhhht????

Accessory Overload!!

Carolann DeMatos — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 21:15:09 +0000

... and I love it!

... Dos necklaces, scarf, purse, bag, that coat ...

Coco may have said 'take one thing off before you leave the house'

But I say 'pile those babies on'.
