They Add Needed Sparkle
BY EDNA MILES
rpO some extent, the size of a woman’s wardrobe must
depend on her adeptness at sleight-of-ham! with
scarves, flowers, belts and jewelry. Even women who
possess large wardrobes use these tricks, so they’re doubly
important for the woman who must get along on limited
means. ^
The best rule to go by in choosing accessories to dress
up and vary your clothes is to pick those that are simple.
Avoid fussy, tricky or extreme scarves, jewelry, gloves or
stoles. You’ll tire of them quickly and so will everyone
else. \ .* vi; 4 ■'<.
Try, rather, to buy those shawls, capes, bags, belts, over
skirts and aprons that can survjve more than one season.
Try also to pick those that will sfcr4eN#fah more than one
suit, dress or blouse in your closet. This way, you’re being
kind to both your appearance and your budget
With a little practice, you can learn to run up your own
ties, scarves and net aprons. Examine carefully those on
display in the stores. This will show you how to start.
Even if you are not an expert seamstress, you can acquire
a knack for these small accessories.
You can further stretch your wardrobe by learning to
tie a scarf or wear a stole more than one way. Use your
imagination. You’ll find it richly rewarding.
