The Accessories of Life

One of the things about trying not to buy new clothes, when I have a wardrobe full and trying to wear what I already own, is trying to make things feel different when I wear them. To make them feel "new" to me again.

One way to do this is a new clothing combination that I have never worn again and I always love it when I come across an outfit that I have never put together full of favourite pieces of clothing and it can brighten how I feel the whole day. 

New combinations of jewellery is another way. I was quite pleased today as I came across the necklace my mother had given me for Christmas last year that I hadn't worn yet. It is so pretty and it gave me pleasure all day, making clothes I had worn many times feel different and "new" to me.

I have other pieces of jewellery that I have not worn for a long time. I need to have a look through it and see what clothing I might pair it with that I have not worn it with before.

What pieces of jewellery can you find in your wardrobe that you have forgotten about that you can wear again to brighten an outfit or bring you pleasure as you wear it? These little treasures that we often have tucked away can bring joy for no cost if we just take the time to get them out and make use of them again.
