Accessories Overload

Hi, my name is Ty and I may have a slight problem. I may or may not be an accessories junkie. I can never seem to have enough statement (and dainty) necklaces, rings, earrings, and bracelets. Let's not forget my growing collection of hats, scarves, and brooches. I love them all…vintage and modern styles. I like to mix and match textures and prints and I don't follow any fashion rules (I don't even know what those are!). My accessories icon would have to be Iris Apfel, her collection is ahh-mazing! She wears what she wants, from high-end pieces to flea market finds. Some of my favorite pieces came from the monthly antique market just outside of Atlanta, GA, and I LOVE a good sale.

When I travel, I try to purchase at least one item to add to my collection. From silk scarves in Milan to chunky necklaces and bracelets in Paris, to vintage pieces from New York. I don't buy on impulse; a piece has to truly be a standout for me to bring it home with me. Enjoy a few pieces from my collection below! What are your can't-live-without accessories?

Today's lesson: Forget the rules! Wear what you like.

Slightly Obsessed...

I'll admit, I have a slight obsession with other people's glasses. If I see a stylish pair, I just HAVE to try them on. Of course, when I get older and actually need them, I won't want to wear them.
