Re: Wacky Wednesday
2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up? Almost always.
3) do you change purses to match your outfit? Newp. I have almost 200 pairs of shoes, but I only change purses about once every six months at the most. Basically when I get tired of the one I'm carrying or it starts to show wear.
4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment? Pretty regularly.

2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up? I wear earrings every day, and try to make them match, does that count?
3) do you change purses to match your outfit? Hahahahahahahaaaaaaaa! I don't even carry a purse.

2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up? Always
3) do you change purses to match your outfit? No, but I should. I use a purse for months/years then when I get a new one, the old one goes in a box, rarely to be used again. I have a giant box of pretty purses.
4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment? I wear more skirts than dresses but that's because I like to mix and match. I still love dresses.
2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up? I wear the same necklace day to day. It's a simple chain with two pendants (one from my Mum and one from MH). I also wear my wedding rings and the same pair of earrings every day. I have a few braclets that I'll rotate through, but not daily. I only change it up when I'm getting dressed up.
3) do you change purses to match your outfit? Nope.
4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment? I wear dresses in the warmer months, but rarely in winter.
2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up? I usually have on a necklace and watch. I switch it up more if the outfit is fun.
3) do you change purses to match your outfit? Nope - way too much effort.
4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment? Regularly. And more since I'm pregnant because finding tall maternity pants is a PITA.

2) do you always accessorize, or only when you're really dressing up? Try to regularly, but mostly when I dress up.
3) do you change purses to match your outfit? No. I have a handful I use, but I'm too lazy for daily switching.
4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment? Almost never, but mostly because I don't have a reason to. Maybe maxis in the summer, but beyond events, no.

2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up? Accessorizing is really difficult for me. I always have on my rings, most of the time my diamond studs, and I'm trying to get better about wearing a watch every day. I am also trying to be a little more creative with necklaces and scarves.
3) do you change purses to match your outfit? I do on the weekends or for going out, but I carry the same purse to work for a while before I switch it out.
4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment? Dresses are so easy and comfortable to me, so I wear them pretty regularly. Especially during the summer. I can't stand wearing jeans or pants when it's hot outside.
my read shelf:
2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up? Always. I have a very plain wardrobe, lots of solid colors and I mix and match a lot of stuff. Adding necklaces or fun belts or shoes really improves my outfits.
3) do you change purses to match your outfit? Nope, I never think to even though I have a lot of purses. I use the same one for months and months until I'm sick of it or I find another one I like that I want to use instead.
4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment? I wear them frequently in warm weather, usually April-September. Maybe two or three times a week or more. I love a sundress with a cute pattern. I have several lighter material dresses that dress up nice for work but are still comfy in hot weather.
2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up? What are these accessories you speak of? I wear my wedding rings and my right hand ring and that's all. I'm trying to find a new watch to wear now that I'm taking classes I feel like my wrist is nekkid.
3) do you change purses to match your outfit? I have my every day purse, some days I just grab my wallet and go. Only time I carry a dressier purse is for a wedding/ funeral.
4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment? Dresses wouldn't be practical for my job. I do like wearing casual skirts/ sundresses for summer. I will gladly wear a dress for something fancier though.
2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up? Always accessorize but sometimes more than others.
3) do you change purses to match your outfit? I hate purses. I've been using the same one since DD was born. I don't plan on changing it anytime soon.
4) do you wear dresses regularly, or only under threat of dismemberment? What is this "dress" thing you speak of???

2) do you always accesorize, or only when you're really dressing up? I don't even SLEEP without earrings in, and of course my rings. I only add additional jewelry/scarves when I'm doing something other than work (at home), but not necessarily fancy.
3) do you change purses to match your outfit? I love scarves and jewelry and shoes... but I am not a purse girl. I actually have just been carrying around a big wallet with a strap on it lately.
