| In a time when people didn't have as much money to spend on fashion as they do today, most women only possessed a few garments suitable as socializing or formal shopping and/or church attire. These clothes needed to last a few seasons, as well as look fashionable at the same time. Fashion accessories such as purses, handbags, belts, buckles, brooches, hats and other decorative items, became necessary additions in bringing variation to one's wardrobe and giving that old dress or suit a new look. For example, relatively inexpensive solutions -- like adding decorative metallic flower pins or a new collar, buttons and belt buckle -- could give a welcoming stylish accent that effectively camouflaged stale outfits. |
