Polka Dots

 

Toms1Ok, so polka dots aren’t for everyone… I happen to think they are one of the greatest patterns out there, but I get it…to each his own. 🙂 I really like to use them more as an accent, (in most cases) they can be used sparingly to enhance an overall look. For example, adding a polka dot scarf to a handbag, or throwing on some polka dot tights under a solid dress, or sliding into a pair of polka dot flats as seen above can instantly up your style quotient.

Vintage Jewelry

I love, love, love finding vintage jewelry, specifically necklaces. Most times I search out these treasures on eBay, such as the one pictured. But if you are lucky enough to live somewhere that has nicer thrift or antique stores and/or in a neighborhood where estate sales are plentiful, then you can often find some beautiful jewelry there as well. The advantage to adding a few vintage pieces to your accessory collection is that of originality. Most likely, no one else will own what you have. If you like standing out fashionably, this is for you. Another advantage is quality. Vintage jewelry was built to last. The only disadvantage is that of having to sift through the rubble to find your treasure. It can be time-consuming and tedious. But anything worth having is worth waiting for, right?! 😉
