The Devil Wears Prada

I saw "The Devil Wears Prada" yesterday. It was a pretty cute movie. At one point the characters were debating why women needed so many purses (is there really a question here??). They said something about how accessories are iconic items that express individuality...Well, I'm not really sure how you define an accessory but I love them. Purses, watches, bracelets and rings. You name it, I like it, although I'd say watches and rings are my favorite. Wikipedia says "With the use of different accessories and jewelry the saavy dresser can make his or her outfit seem completely different." Maybe it's because I'm a detail person that I like accessories so much, or maybe it's because I'm just that saavy.

I realized last week that I've always been into the accessories. When it was back to school time as a kid my sister and I got so excited to get our new school supplies. Pens, pencils, Trapper-Keepers and back packs (anybody remember Lisa Frank??). We were so excited about them that we would keep getting them out and showing them to each other, like a little school supply fashion show. Fortunately I've gotten cooler since then. But, the moral of the story is, it's all about accessories. The sooner you realize it, the better, and more savvy you'll be.
