What do you think is the one fashion must-have right now? Is it a particular blouse, pair of pants, purse, item of jewelry, what? I am very curious what those of you who keep up with fashion will say is your most important fashion item right now. Please let me know because, believe me, some of us need help more than others in this area!
I will "give it up" and say that I think the must-have fashion item right now is an oversized, white purse to be carried with anything and everything. And boy, do I love mine!

Hi PearlGrace, I am really sorry I can't help you on this one as for me I tend to dress in what I feel comfortable in rather than follow fashionn at all. I will go with classic styles that don't date and maybe jazz up with accessories rather than have to keep buying outfits so practical and comfortable rather than fashionable is who I am. Ellie :D

Hi ellie333.
Well, classic styles never go out of fashion, do they? Plus, you must have a knack for adding the accessories that fit with the outfit. I've not ever been good at that but I do throw in a scarf, earrings, and a necklace occasionally.
Thanks for joining in this discussion.

I think little black dress is an all time fashionable item. Now, I think oversize clutch bags are really hot. I think the cutting of the garment is really important to keep one LOOK fashionable. I don't buy that many fashionable items but I try to mix and match and hope not to look outdated. I find some big chunky accessories, bracelets are good items to help look updated.

Hi wondericequeen.
Yes, there's nothing like the classic little black dress, is there? Dress it up, dress it down, lots of jewelry, or just one nice piece, it all goes with a black dress.
Hmm, I'll have to check in to the oversize clutch bags you speak of. I know that oversize bags, in general, are big this year.
Thanks for the tip on the chunky jewelry. I don't take time for selecting and putting on accessories as I ought to. Take care.

I am not, nor will ever be a fashion diva....I usually accept help gracefully when someone offers it to me......however I have a very cute purse...the new color green (somewhere just off the lime shades).....I got it from a Butterfly party...but that's the only fashion statement I can make right now! LOL

I love that really bright lime green shade! I've never heard of a Butterfly party, so you are definitely a fashion step ahead of me. That sounds like one more thing I'll be checking in to. I have a friend who says, "Remember, it's style, not fashion!"

Hey pearl, I don't think I can pick just one item. I'm
a "have to match" kinda woman. I like the white purse thing.
In fact I haven't been able to find a perfect white purse
at all anywhere. Isn't that strange. Can't find a nice
pink one either. I really have this thing about shoes and
clothes and purses and everything matching. I don't spend
alot of money on anything. I shop for bargains but the
matching is a must.

Greetings Opal26.
Well, you know the really cool thing about fashion today is that you aren't even supposed to match. In fact, fashion experts on TV say don't match shoes with your purse. Isn't that interesting?
So, it's kind of fun to "let loose" and carry a white purse when I wear a white blouse, but then wear a different color of shoes or sandals. And that's the way "everybody's doing it" now.
It's kind of liberating to me, not to have to match things like we used to. But I have a sister that still want s to match everything like you. And that's cool, too!



Thank you, best response appreciated. Huggles. Ellie :D
