Your outfit is only as good as the accessories you choose. So, we have pictured a few of those goodies here. There is a reason Gucci, Prada, Chanel and the myriad of other designers extend their lines to hats, gloves, scarves. They want the total look. AND!!! They know a savvy woman wants to change the basic look as often as possible to get the most mileage out of her wardrobe. Simply put, we will show a mixture here, much the same way a designer boutique will show the collection. But be bold. Mix and match to suit your taste. Remember style is not about what you should wear. It is about what you know looks good on you.
