Fashion: State Your Purpose

If you have a broad canvas, paint something grand. Enter: statement necklaces, cocktail rings, and wide-brimmed hats. Tall women can wear oversize accessories because our long profiles can carry off a few theatrics.

This silver neck cuff from Express and a cocktail ring made from vintage watch parts, like this one from Etsy, are always in my rotation.
