Why Accessories?

Simply put: I LOVE fashion.  For many of my readers, this is not a newsflash!  Over time, I've found that fashion has so many different elements.  As I've grown in fashion and starting identifying where I fit in the fashion world - I found accessories!  After I've put an outfit together, I find that my favorite part of getting dressed, and of fashion as a whole, is accessorizing.  I love and believe in accessories so much, I bring you Piece, Love and Sole.

How I arrived to this love for accessories: Over the past few months my love for accessories has exploded!  The dress code for work is black.  ALL.BLACK.  Black is chic, it's slimming and I love how it looks, but it can quickly become very boring.  I'm not a head-to-toe, "All Black Everything" type of girl, so I'm constantly looking for ways to add color, personality and character to complete my outfits.  The dilemma: How do I break up the monotony of an all black dress code?  Resolution: Accessorize! Finally, I can express myself!  I found that putting the finishing touches on an outfit doesn't have to cost much and it doesn't have to be a difficult task either.   The final touches can pull an outfit together and complete a look.  

My plan is to show you how to put looks together, where to find unique and essential accessories and have fun along the way!

To start, I wanted to give you guys a peek into my accessory obsession.  On one of my many trips to Marshall's I found a Metal Dress Form Coat Rack.  I altered the intended purpose of the coat rack and turned it into an accessory stand.  I use the inside of the dress form to keep my bracelet collection organized and I've used each arm of the coat rack to organize my necklaces by metal, color or stone.  I thought the dress form style was too cute to be hidden and covered by coats and because I was running out of storage room for my accessories "Suzy" was born!  As if that weren't enough, I was gifted a "Little Black Dress" jewelry organizer.  The jewelry organizer keeps my ring and earring collection organized and displayed nicely.   

I'd like to welcome you to Piece, Love and Sole! I can't wait to share my accessories with you.
