How I Accessorize

Read about the challenge here

I love love accessories! Bigger is always better for me with accessories. It's probably why I stretched my lobes to a 4g. Seriously, no regrets with that choice.

Piercings: This is mainly how I accessorize. Easy--you're always wearing them. Nothing to put on or off. You can see my entire earring collection in this post. BTW... I actually DIDN'T chicken out and got my septum pierced... but that'll be its own post, when i finally get a camera.

Rings: I obviously wear my wedding ring daily. It's a plain titanium band. Not the traditional choice, but I'm allergic to gold. I bought some jewelry to complement my wedding ring (since I'm always wearing it). I think I have completed my signature "set." the other two rings are brass and don't irritate my skin. I think it may just be gold.

 Glasses: also an item I wear every day. Starting to see a theme? Basically, I accessorize with the stuff I need to wear daily anyway. guess I'm just boring that way.



kinda miss my long hair. both of these glasses are from zenni optical--cheap prescription lenses!
Odds and ends: I was like wow! Collar clips (above, in the square glass pic)! Sock garters! I need this! Sometimes if something is new and original, I just get it just because.

Belts: I use em to hold my pants up usually, but I do have a bullet belt I wear on occasion. Last time I wore it a crazy bum said I was going to shoot everyone, so that kind of killed the fun.

Purses: I actually don't have too many purses. I actually just use the corporate tote bag of the company I used to work for. I actually really like tote bags for some reason. I also have a Strand tote bag (the Strand is the big indie bookstore in NYC).

Also, sorry for repurposing the same old photos--I'm personally getting kind of sick of them myself. But alas, my camera is still broken and I still need to get a new one. I'd rather repost good pictures than shitty cameraphone ones.

What's your favorite accessory right now?
