Of all the dress problems wom
en have had over the years, the
one that recurs with the greatest
frequency is, what to do about
accessories.
So many women complain that,
though they have some idea of
whatisrightforthemwhenitcomes
to basic clothing, they have no
idea when it comes to accesso
ries.
Andwhen |askthemtoshowme
how they would accessorize one
of their outfits, | see that their ef
forts are often mechanical, joy
less, and lacking inafundamental

Next to color, pattern, :

how you dress yourself - how you
present yourself to the world.
Most women are aware that ac
cessories provide a nice finishing
touch to an outfit, and they can spot
another woman's talents in that re
gard. But when they try to put the
finishing touches on their own out
fits, some give up and don't
accessorize at all; others retreat
into boring formulas; and still oth
ers, dimly perceiving agap of some
sort, rush to fill it with just anything

What is the problem here?

%% things an accessory can do

‘1) The shape of an acces-
M sory can and should harmo

g,{ the shapes in your outfit - like
. wise the color of an accessory

ing and the colors in your -
outfit. s
2) An accessory can i ;% }
add interest to your out-7" %" %%
fit. Bl
3) An accessory can ’i”':‘ s
be the focal point of your | g
outfit. Y N
There is another twist*§{ 8" %
onthe problemof seeing rflm A,
whataccessories cancontrib- ;
ute to your clothes and your look.
Some women choose accessories
for their intrinsic beauty rather than
for how they look on them. The
accessories may, indeed, be very
beautiful and interesting; they may
even be, in the case of jewelry,
veritable objet dart —the only
trouble is, you are not a museum.
You can't just hang an accessory
onyourselfthe way youwould hang
a painting on the plain white wall of
an empty room. No matter how
beautiful the accessory in and of
itself, it may not do anything beau
tiful for you.
When you go about the enjoy

" wa” oo important tip:
R :i? -~ Make that a full
“a_ 7" length mirror! Often,
in the departments
where accessories are sold, you
find only partial mirrors — mirrors
that extend only a couple of feet up

scarf or the jewelry department,
mirrors at waist level in the hand

not sufficient. You should always
take a look at the whole picture.
When you look at your fully
accessorized look in your full

off some (and, sometimes, all) of
what you have put on. If you are
