accessories 15 July 2008
I am rubbish at accessorising. I have lots and lots of necklaces and bracelets and so on and I never really wear any of them because
1) I don’t think of them and
2) I think most don’t suit me anyhow.
When you’ve got a bit of a chest (and I do) you can get a funny slant on a neckpiece. Now, I have nothing against getting said chest up and out there, it’s just that adornments can be a bit much in that general area if the ladies are on top viewing level.
I’m ok with earrings and love them BUT because I wear glasses it can all get a bit fussy. I did try contacts once and found that
1) I was rubbish at taking them out, particularly with drink upon me and
2) they all eventually made my eyes sore and a bit infected (UGH, and perhaps too much information…)
As to the hands, I pretty much have a half pound of sausages at the end of each arm and drawing attention to the pudgy wee things is not a great idea. I leave it at the engagement and wedding rings (wrote weeding there first and had to change!). AND these ain’t the originals as I lost those (hand crafted by a really good jeweller, Maureen T Lynch) while making the pilot of Jam and Jerusalem (there was MOIDUR at home when I told Himself and I had to go out and replace them with expensive but not as special items)
A wide belt can highlight me tum.
I do like an anklet bauble but you have to be careful with the choice of same and all of the pure gold and silver ones I’ve got over the years are a weird green now…mmmm…mysterious, that.
Anyhow, all this is spewing out cos every woman I saw on the Tube tonight was bedecked with all manner of gorgeous accessory – and the men weren’t far behind. I had the iTouch on – guess that’s not too shabby. And some very bad nail polish – calassee…
