In a world that constantly twists itself more complex and complicated, we must rely on little reminders that urge us to keep it simple. Same goes for accessories. I feel like everywhere we turn bags and shoes and jewelry alike are screaming for attention, trying to become bigger, badder, with more ropes, tangles, and twists just to outshine its trendy predecessor. New body parts are being created just to keep up with all the accessories. Frankly it's giving me an anxiety condition.
That's why -- even though I am a pioneer for the original, unusual and totally out-there accents -- I am championing simplicity this week, finding solace in the stable pieces that are so obvious, they're unique. Like this gold ring, which formerly was my mother's wedding band when she was too fat (read: pregnant) to wear her diamond encrusted one. I like to pair it with stacks of bangles or necklaces that ask for a hint of gold on my hands. And I wouldn't want any of my already existing body parts to feel left out.
