Fashion accessories are all the things you wear with your clothes … that aren't actually clothes. Hats, jewelry, bags, belts, ties, scarves and more -- some of them are purely decorational, and some (like a purse) are extremely functional, but if you're thinking of it as an “accessory” you're probably also wondering if it goes together with the rest of your outfit. Proper choice of an accessory means deciding if it compliments or even “completes” your clothing ensemble. Design concepts related to fashion accessories are hotly debated, change frequently, and result in massive income for the related industries. Rather than laying out a set of rules you have to follow, this book tells you how to follow your own rules when you accessorize. There's a lot of legitimate advice on pairing this with that, but ultimately it's a philosophical treatise on doing your own thing, expressing yourself with what you wear, and finding your own style. This book tells you how to shop for items, take care of them, and place them in the best combinations, for everything from ribbons to watches. The author is funny and clever, and there's something for everybody in this book, no matter how much they may know -- or think they know -- about fashion.
