DIE KERSIE OP DIE KOEK: BYKOMSTIGHEDE
As mens ‘n minimale klerekas beplan, is ‘n verskeidenheid van bykomstighede ‘n goeie manier om jou basiese uitrustings elke keer anders te laat lyk.
Carrie Bradshaw van Sex in the City filosofeer: “Maybe the best any of us can do is not to quit, play the hand we’ve been given, and accessorize the outfit we’ve got.”
Bykomstighede kan daardie klein (of groot) item wees wat jou styl kenmerk is, of dit wat jou styl uniek maak. Dit kan ‘n stukkie juweliersware / handsak wees wat jy geёrf het, of dat jy altyd serpe of pêrels dra. “Jewellery has the power to be this one little thing that can make you feel unique.” Jennie Kwon
Volgens Jackie Kennedy: “Pearls are always appropriate”.
Iris Apfel se kenmerkende styl is haar gebruik van dramatiese bykomstighede. Sy sê: “Jewellery is the most transformative thing you can wear.” En ook: “Put your money into accessories. You could create a million different looks.”
Europese vroue hou daarvan om serpe as bykomstighede te gebruik. As mens gaan reis is dit ook een van die maniere om ligter in te pak, want ‘n serp weeg omtrent niks en kan op talle maniere gebruik word.
Wat van ‘n bykomstigheid wat jy nie eens kan sien nie? “Perfume is the unseen, unforgettable, ultimate accessory that heralds your arrival and prolongs your departure.” Aldus Madame Coco Chanel.
Bykomstighede wat nie ‘n sent kos nie? "Confidence is the best accessory. It can make or break an outfit." (Stacy London) “Smile. It is the second-best thing you can do with your lips.” (Unknown)
Vera Wang: “To me, eyewear goes way beyond being a prescription. It’s like makeup. It is the most incredible accessory. The shape (and colour) of a frame or the colour of lenses can change your whole appearance.”
Wat van houding met 'n hoed? Ook vir 'n praktiese rede a la Julia Roberts: “I enjoy hats. And when one has filthy hair, that is a good accessory.”
Gaan soek in jou kaste en haal uit al daardie onaangeraakte stukke juweliersware en serpe, koop ‘n paar nuwes en begin speel.
Geniet dit om jou unieke stempel op jou uitrustings af te druk.
Tot ons weer gesels.
