Accessories Make the Difference

By KIM ABDO

When you think about dressing for the holidays, hopefully you’re thinking about more than what you will be eating with your turkey. I’m talking about rockin’, rollin’ and sportin’ the threads, or for those of you not up on trendy verbiage, dressing up. If you always seem to need an excuse to do so, the holidays will always provide one. There’s your office party and the boyfriend’s.
