Addicts always seem to be the last to know. You may already know. I thought I was photographing shoes and accessories because they seemed easier than trying to make a dress on a rack look good. But it wasn’t until I laid out all my accessories for my niece to look at, that I realized. Just for traveling, I have a ton of accessories. This is just what I brought with me. Maybe it’s a phase, maybe it’s a new development, but it certainly is something. Accessories do make the outfit, they add depth and character. Hopefully I don’t go overboard too much which is why it took so long to see what was going on in my own wardrobe.
Anyway… since I laid out the goods for my niece, might as well show them all to you… many of these didn’t make it into outfit shots, which is a shame because I wear them quite a lot.

YESSS.
Girl, if you ever need a new home for the lace collar or your Liz Larios necklace, just let me konw. I’ve got tons of accessories that would like to make friends with them

Will keep that in mind!!! As they deserve a good home!
Yep, I’m a secret accessory junkie too. They’re just so great and easy to change the feel of an outfit.
How do you pack your accessories when you travel? I have a jewelry roll with three compartments but I don’t feel that’s safe enough.

I am an accessory junkie!! I know it! I would much rather shop accessories than clothes and usually that is the first deparment that catches my eye. One of my students asked me last year how many scarves I owned…I didn’t know. The fact that she noticed and that I did not know shows a serious problem!! I undstand…we need a support group…Accessories Anonymous!! BTW…your tribal look is one of my top favorites since I have been blogging…i would wear it in a heartbeat!

i love love LOVE the gold plate necklace in the last picture. I also really like the braided watch and the fish locket necklace. Ahhh, i’m also an accessory junkie, but I’m pretty lazy on most days. I’ll buy a bunch of cute stuff but end up only wearing it once or twice.

Haha I’m an accessories junkie too. Sometimes I’ll deliberately tone down my outfit because I want to wear a certain statement necklace or dramatic earrings.

I’ve been starting to realize this year that accessories are where it’s at and also where I need to beef things up a bit in my closet! I think for years I equated “interesting”, “style”, and “unique” with garments, totally negating the side that a good selection of accessories can have on a smaller wardrobe. I’ve been doing a 30-day, limited wardrobe challenge this month, and man, has it opened my eyes to learning to pair accessories more skillfully into outfits!
I love so many of these pieces that you pictured; especially the big necklaces. As much as I like the romantic, lady-like look, I do love me some statement pieces.
♥ Casey
Awesome collection. I also take a lot for travel! Love all your bracelets and necklaces!

Clearly, I have no problem with you being an accessories junkie. Since I’m one myself
If we are talking about accessories I’m a real junky too
loving your choices

You’re also really good about wearing what you have though - I accumulate accessories and just never put them on. You are my accessories inspiration!
