Neutral Accessories: Earrings Part 1

Readers often ask me about building an accessory wardrobe.  Something that I've recently come to appreciate is the power of neutral accessories - my recently purchased Alexis Bittar earrings have proven to be a lot more versatile than I expected. That got me to thinking about the usefulness of well-chosen accessories in neutral colors.  Usually, when I think of accessories, I think of accent colors, or a bright pop of shine or gleam or lustre.  But sometimes, these more low-key choices can be very useful.

I'm going to explore this idea more, with other jewelry, and with some neutral scarves. I've come to realize that I wear my simple white scarf, or my black crinkled scarf,  more than any others...


Yes, tasseled earrings are a brave statement, but I've seen them worn to great effect!
