What's Your Signature Item or Accessory?

Honestly? What I am known for is for wearing a variety of bright colors that sometimes match up and sometimes don’t. There is a lot of orange (my favorite color), blue and green within my wardrobe, but every color of the rainbow is present in a variety of different articles and styles of clothing.

The one piece of clothing that I always have on or near me (besides my glasses, which I need) is an army green jacket - the jacket, itself, has changed throughout the years as I wear them to the point of falling apart, but its always army green with lots of pockets. This current one is almost a military style, the last had orange-striped sleeves and I covered with the pins from my extracurriculars :smile:
The last few years have shown a couple of additions that stuck because of the meaning behind them - a blue Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden lanyard and a Lumos Wand Badge. Before the chain snapped, I also wore a small onyx necklace that my ex got me during his time studying in South Africa.
With the exception of the final, without these pieces on or near my person, everything feels off. The last I have tucked into a box until I can find the perfect replacement chain.

Oh, lovely! Bright colours are fantastic, and green army jackets are very good. They’re cozier than people expect! I hope you can find the replacement chain you need soon! :blossom:

@SabineBean Thanks! I definitely agree, and I’m hoping so, too!

I now have a new signature accessory/item! This is the hat that I majority wear whilst out on call but of course as with any comfy article of clothing, I’ve taken to wearing it either around the house or when out in a place where a hat is suitable! Man do I love this thing :joy:

Ooh! I like it! Shows who you are, what you’re here for, and the healing powers you have (cue magical sound effect here)! :cherry_blossom:

Did I already mention that it’s super comfy? If not it definitely is! It also lets me slip into the confidence that I have while wearing it out on calls. Although whether or not drawing imaginative strength from a inanimate object is considered sane is up to you :joy:

Drawing strength from inanimate objects is one of the most human things to do! Charms, trinkets, lucky items and so on have been part of human nature since the beginning, and will remain that way! :cherry_blossom:

i vastly, vastly prefer high-waisted bottoms. Jeans, skirts, shorts, always cuter and more comfortable when they’re high rise.
i also think my glasses are quite noticeable. I don’t have a strong prescription so I wear then whenever I feel like (always when i drive though) but they’re large-framed and round, and they don’t have grips on the nose so they naturally rest quite far down on my nose.

High-waisted clothes frame figures so nicely, I really get you there! And your glasses sound ever so cute!! These are really nice signature looks! :blossom:

My signature gear. I can’t leave home without a watch on my wrist, a pen in my pocket, glasses on my face, and the ring my mum bought me for my 18th birthday.

Oh, these are lovely! That’s such a beautiful ring too, and having a pen and a watch is always handy! Glasses are a pretty important part of one’s gear for sure. :blossom:

Clothing wise I’ve sort of accidentally gotten in the habit of wearing grey and/or floral print:


The other items are a set of Mala prayer beads from a Buddhist temple I visited a couple years ago, and a peridot ring I just picked up to help remind me to check in on my grandma more often (peridot is her birthstone - she’s been having a lot of health trouble :persevere: )

Oh, these are lovely! I love the idea of having a special item of clothing to remind you to check on someone- I have plenty that are connected to people but none with that specific purpose. I hope your Grandma’s health improves with your well wishes and company!! :cherry_blossom:

I’d have to say my signature items are my rings that I’ve gotten from a significant place I’ve been to. My goal is to have at least 1 ring per finger and are all the same metal.

Sadly some places only had certain sizes so yes, I have rings that belong to the same finger, but they do not contribute to my goal.

@Hekate I hope your grandmother’s health improves!

Sounds like the rings have significant sentimental value there, that’s really nice!! I like that goal, it’s a good one to have, hope you achieve it someday! :cherry_blossom:

@SabineBean @Aeryce
Thank you both for your support. I think I’ve accepted (at least more than most of the rest of my family) that at her age, there just aren’t a whole lot of guarantees anymore. Whether she gets better or not, I just want to make sure she knows I love her and think about her, and always will. :revolving_hearts:

The bracelets are lovely, and well wishes to your grandma !!

I always a simple black prayer bracelet with a single wooden bead. It’s simple but means a lot to me.

Sentimental items often are very simple, but are also often the most beloved! I bet it really suits you! :blossom:

The only things I can think of that might count as signatures are my flip-flops, my preference for rose gold jewelry (silver/white gold wash me out and yellow gold makes me look jaundiced), and my hair is always a “fantasy” color. :woman_shrugging:t3:
