I am a fairly recent cinvert to scarves, and now feel underdressed if I don't wear one with my jacket. I just can't choose and wear belts though, other than through beltloops on jeans. Would like to be able to wear one over a cardi.

Just seen your links, and funnily enough I wear my Alex Monroe bee necklace most days, it goes with virtually all outfits Grin

No. It makes me feel like a Christmas tree.

And they get in the way.

I love jewellery but I never seem to want to wear it. I just keep it and stroke it from time to time.

And I cannot abide scarves.

Yes, but only since I found that I need BIG accessories. Small scale looks too young and silly on me. Accessories really make an outfit, if you get them right.

Love the AM necklace.

Yes. I dress pretty plainly, so rely on accessories to add a bit of oomph. Always a scarf/shawl, chunky bracelets or bracelet stacks, and necklaces. Although I don't wear much colour, I love colourful accessories. It is amazing what just changing accessories does to an outfit.

I have an Alex Monroe rose gold shrimp I wear a lot, or a Mulberry fox head. I also wear my big rose gold Michael Kors watch and that's me done really. Sometimes I'll wear a belt and usually a scarf. Don't go a bundle on jewellery...

No, I wear the same silver jewellery all the time and never wear belts or scarves. I've tried scarves but they look cluttered if my hair is down (shoulder length), aging if it is up and they always shift about and end up looking untidy. I can't cope with bangles at all, they dig into my arm when I am writing or using the computer. I agree that accessories can make a big difference (and my few bits of silver are chosen with great care and are nice) but just don't seem practical for me.

Love that necklace! I do like a scarf, although yesterday I managed to get my latest favourite one caught in the retractable dog lead, then after I'd freed it I twice caught it in the zip of my bag and finally got it tangled in a thorny bush on the way home from school Blush

I do big scarves, cashmere or angora. Watch and rings. Might do a skinny belt.

Never wear earrings or necklace. Can't really do silk scarves. I am at opposite ends to the statement jewellery.

My sister can wear amazing green stuff, vintage jewellery type thing and it looks good.

We're so different, considering.

I like semi-precious dangly earrings which I get from The Peach Tree on Etsy (they're brilliant) and cozy cashmere and wool scarves in the Fall and Winter (with my beloved puffy vests). If I wear any other accessories I feel like a kid playing dress up, so I don't (even though I like them on other people).

I like pashminas and do wear a vintage ring. Like ear rings with no other jewellery
