Dressing Up and Dressing Down: Fads vs Fashion : Let's Get Accessorized!!

FADS:
In 2016, I'd like to concentrate on three things in your wardrobe of Accessories.
1.  Accessories that are FADS, might last awhile and some are gone in a flash.
2.  Accessories that are FADDISH. Faddish accessories are bought by huge numbers of people. When you see yourself walking everywhere you go, coming and going, you have purchased a Faddish accessory. Faddish is usually very expensive at the height its popularity, like those heavy, gaudy, big hoop earrings, that can change the shape of your earlobe, turn pea green.
3. Accessories which represent FASHION, and rarely go out of style. Fashion Accessories, like fashion, lasts year after year and into generations. You can dress up or you can dress down, and these accessories will stay with you for a lifetime. I'm a craft artist, and I love designing fashion  accessories. I especially like mixing my accessories up for  indoor and outdoor wear. That is my line of interest and my expertise. My mother was the clothes horse in the family, and when she bought her accessories, they got passed down to me, her only daughter.

 There are so many ways to get Accessorized, today that even women are overwhelmed with what to buy, for a gift as well as for themselves. Certainly, the retail is out there so we shouldn't feel like we can't find what we want - but can we? Sure, some of us find too much to buy, but who in retail is complaining about that. I still love to shop, but thanks to my mom,  I have a stable of clothes and Accessories that I can and will wear and cherish for the rest of my life,


Women's fashion, standing alone or on it's own, is a TRILLION dollar business.Make sure you get what you pay for and it lasts.   Jammin Jammies
