Once upon a time you’d never find me without a set of dog tags I had made for my grandfather and a good friend that passed away, a paracord bracelet one of my past students braided to actually fit my tiny wrist, and a Celtic cross ring that my grandmother gave to me.

Buuuuuutttt all of those got stolen. The tags like two years ago, and the ring and bracelet a few months back.
I’m a little upset about it still just because they all had good memories attached to them, and I didn’t realize how much I anxiously played with these things until they were gone.

Nowadays … I doubt hairties count? I always have one on my wrist or in my hair.
I’ve definitely started a personal trend of always wearing weird and fun earrings.
I’m known for always wearing ball-caps when it’s nice out (particularly the Ocular Eye one I had until I finally retired it) and toques when it’s not (I now have two Ebenguard beanie/toque things that I live in during fall/winter/always because Canada)

Outfit wise? I live in athletic wear usually, but signature items my friends know me for are either things that are bright red (I’m just digging that colour right now), or oversized Dad approved Hawaiian print shirts of which I’m currently wearing one of my favs

I’m sorry to hear about the theft! That sounds awful, it’s always hard to lose important things.
Hawaiian shirts will always be peak fashion though, and having a hairtie is always a good idea! Red’s a lovely colour too! :blossom:

I think all women with long hair keep spare hair ties around just in case. I do!

It’s definitely not limited to women! My dad always carries one as well, and my brother laments that he doesn’t (his school would get mad if he was wearing an accessory of any kind other than the school-sanctioned ones)

Can confirm. Hair is heckin’ long. (And probably due for a trim so it’s still pretty heckin’ long but less raggedy)

Doesn’t mean he can’t keep one or two on him. Typical day, I have one on my wrist, one or two in my pocket, plus a few in my purse.

I used to carry a few in my medic kit but ended up getting blood on them and had to throw them away, have yet to replace them…

For me? A turquoise pendant necklace that came with a set of dice, and I have these particular brand of socks that I wear almost religiously at this point. They’re comfortable, brightly patterned, and all feel the same so I can wear odd socks without getting annoyed. Other than that, I wear all black everything more often than not, I guess itd be my signature colour.

I think we all enjoy the comforts of a style. @SabineBean I agree that black is a warm and welcoming tone. If I don’t put pomade through my hair the top is long (I keep an almost Peaky Blinder slick with shaved sides and back) then I wear a knit beanie. I only wear colour in my socks quick I like bold.

P.S is like to see your image of me Sabine but I’m interested in your minds eye.

What socks?! I have too many already but I just can’t stop hoarding them! And they absolutely have to be the same cut and texture for me to mismatch as well. Please recommend me your favourite socks :deirdreexcited:

I cannot for the life of me remember what the brand is called, but if I do, I’ll tell you! I can tell you that they look like this though, and I think it may be an Australian company?

They look like Happy Socks

They do, but they are not- I checked the website to see if they were. Happy socks are kinda expensive for my price range anyway

@Honeysuckle ooh, you’re getting accessories with your dice? My own dice collection didn’t come with anything but a sticker or two… Still, that sounds like a fantastic look, good to hear!

@Calm I was imagining you with more muted greens and browns, but black makes perfect sense now! It is definitely a good colour

@Sellalellen socks are fantastic. I used to hoard them when I was young, but unfortunately dad hates odd socks, so most of my socks ā€˜disappeared’ if I couldn’t find the other sock. And, y’know, being a kid, finding socks was the least of my priorities! :blossom:

I don’t really have much of a consistent signature to what I wear. I tend to wear a light jacket whenever I can get away with it without sweating to death (I like having extra pockets to put things in). I also have a ring I wear for my girlfriend that I never take off.

@BrokenVoid That’s so sweet! And a light jacket is always good, jackets are fun and easy to customise. :blossom:

I agree, and now that I have a few AG related pins I’ll probably start interchanging those on whatever jacket I’m wearing.

I would have to say my signature accessories are my earrings that I never take off. On my left ear I have two piercings that only leave my ear while I am sleeping. In my first piercing I have a dangling crystal quartz and in my second a cut emerald.

@alexanderskye Oh that’s lovely! Quartz and emerald look so good together too, white and green is a fantastic combination! :blossom:
