Accessories?
On such a simple palette of clothes, it's tempting to throw on as many accessories as possible. What wouldn't work? I like these basic clothes, as a sort of palette cleanser, but it really lets you showcase your personality in terms of accessories.
For example, simple and earthy: A wooden bracelet, sleek leather sandals, and gold hoop earrings.
But I am going to take my cue from Grace Kelly, and opt for more posh fare:
1. strand of pearls
 Mikimoto: These are... perfection? I'd say, get the 30" one (a rum $12,700), and wear one long strand, almost as if you "threw it on". Yes, even on top of a tee. The absurdity of it! But come, is this resort or not?
2. "big" watch
 Cartier Tank Française: This watch is so statement laden that wearing one is tantamount to wearing a flashy diamond bracelet, but covertly.
3. tough bag
 Thomas Wylde Oxford Circus Bag: I needed to throw in something sexy tough, as a counterpoint to the hyperfeminity of everything else. I love this bag... the buttery soft wrinkled leather, the chains, the slouch... it's pure bad girl, but gone luxe, so it doesn't seem so out of place as you might first imagine.
4. black heels
 Christian Louboutin: I was going to throw something very wicked in there, but decided to err on the side of simplicity. The bag is probably strong enough without reinforcement. I actually would buy these in a leopard print, but found only the black ones.
