Back to the list of stuff that I command you--- er, advise you--- to own.
5. Belts. Everybody needs at least one. They don't just hold pants up. They can be used to
complete an outfit, whether by being worn with a shirt that is tucked in, or on top
of a dress or long shirt. Naturally, the best for versatility are black and brown
leather belts. As to the thickness, that depends upon you. Long-waisted people
need thicker belts than those with short waists. It just looks better that way.

6. Purses.
A. Dark neutral (preferably black)
B. Light neutral (such as beige; white is more likely to get soiled)
7. Jewelry
A. Earrings
1. Plain gold studs/hoops
2. Plain silver studs/hoops
3. Rather plain pearl earrings, either tear-drop or studs
B. Watch. Be it leather, silver, or gold, a good watch is always important to have.
C. Necklaces
1. Fairly simple gold
2. Fairly simple silver
3. Pearl, the length of which is up to you, but I find that it is more useful
to have only a shorter one than to have only a longer one.

D. Bracelets. Some people are really into bracelets, but I am not. This is partly
because I find that they are hard to put on, get in your way, and don't
work terribly well with long sleeves. If you like to wear bracelets often,
then I suggest following what I wrote for necklaces. Bangles work very
well if they are properly made, thin, and simple. Gold and silver
bangles are sure to compliment dozens of outfits, whether worn singly or five
at a time.

8. Hair stuff
A. Assorted hairpins. These are indispensible for medium and long hair. They
can be used for so many things. Just make sure to get the kind that have
rounded edges, and that match your hair color pretty well.

B. Barrettes. You are never too old for them.
C. Hairties. I find that the ones that have no metal-- and thus claim to be snag
-free-- stretch out VERY easily. At least the thin ones do.

D. Headbands. There are many different kinds of headbands, from the basic
type, to the kind that have strips of fabric on the end so you can tie them
and then drape the ends over your shoulder. If you have bangs, you
probably want to wear them in front of the headband, and not back with
the rest of your hair. (Unless, of course, you are wearing a headband
precisely for the purpose of keeping those bangs out of the way.)
