Fashion by Alana: Accessories

By Alana Farley

Is your outfit complete? There are many ways that you can make your outfit complete using accessories. Fashion accessories can be held or worn. Worn accessories are accessories such as jewelry, jackets, ties, belts, sunglasses, etc. Carried accessories include handbags and clutches.



Earrings come in various shapes and sizes. Even though mostly females wear earrings, males are also seen wearing them. Common locations for piercings, other than the earlobe, consist of the rook, tragus, and across the helix.

Types of earrings include: studs, dangle, hoop, huggie, bojaran, and ear thread.
Stud earrings: A small simple earring that is attached to a post that goes through the ear with a back to hold it in place.
Dangle earrings: Dangle from the ear, designed to flow from the bottom of the earlobes.
Hoop earrings: Circular or semi-circular in design.
Huggie earrings: earring where the setting actually ‘hugs’ your earlobe. Usually in the shape of a heart or rectangle.
Bajoran earrings: Large chain earrings with an ear cuff.
Ear Thread: A chain that is thin enough to slip into the ear hole, and come back out, dangles.

No outfit is complete without accessories. It’s important not to overdo the accessories you wear, you don’t want to make too much of an impression. “Keep your heels, head, and standards.” -Unknown
