my rings - i luv rings - especially silver, & i luv aqua or turquoise
Stephanie Ann Aug 18, 2010, 9:13am UTC
I love rings too. I currently wear 4 rings. My fingers feel naked without them!
Julie Michael Aug 16, 2010, 2:29pm UTC
I would have to say, my favorite fashion piece... Shoes!! Shoes always look good and you can totally change an outfit's look with shoes.
Either that, or a cute tee layered under a hoodie, sweater or other layering item. :)
Stephanie Ann Aug 18, 2010, 9:19am UTC
I agree with you! It makes a big difference if I wear my Converse sneakers with a pair of jeans or my high heels! I love shoes too!

good ol fashioned knickers
Madeline L. Aug 16, 2010, 2:37pm UTC
I love jeans. Cute tops or tees to go with them.
Jean M. Aug 16, 2010, 2:37pm UTC
This winter was the first time I got a fashion scarf, rather than just one for warmth. And I love it! I won it on a blog giveaway and wore it out! I definitely need to invest in some more...
Marla P. Aug 16, 2010, 2:37pm UTC
Scarves.... I have always loved them and I have hundreds. Infinite ways to fold and style them so even with a plain white t-shirt and jeans you had endless fashion possibilities.
Janet H. Aug 16, 2010, 2:40pm UTC
Picture front tee shirts.
Kim B. Aug 16, 2010, 2:42pm UTC
My jeans
.* Sandi * Aug 16, 2010, 2:43pm UTC
my wedding ring, its the only thing i have left of my husband who died a while go, I still cant take it off.
John S. (arizona) Aug 16, 2010, 2:44pm UTC
Black printed T-shirts never go out of style, LOL.
Vicky K. Aug 16, 2010, 2:44pm UTC
Earrings - something that shows but not huge looks good.
Stephanie Ann Aug 18, 2010, 4:50pm UTC
I agree. I just got my second ear piercing in March. I love it. I have small hoops in one hole and diamond studs in the other hole.
Nikki S. Aug 16, 2010, 2:44pm UTC
My favorite fashion piece is a great pair of jeans! What better way to use a gift card?!?!?!
Stephanie Ann Aug 18, 2010, 9:35pm UTC
I agree. What a good use for a giftcard! Especially since jeans will probably never go out of style!
Elizabeth B. Aug 16, 2010, 2:46pm UTC
A pair of dark, well tailored jeans. You can dress them up or down and they make legs look longer and leaner.
j - Frugal Mom - r. Aug 16, 2010, 2:52pm UTC
What is your favorite fashion piece that always looks great?

A black skirt - everything goes with it.
Lesli B. Aug 16, 2010, 2:54pm UTC
Shoes, shoes, shoes! Imelda Marcos had the right idea!
Janet "Jax" B. Aug 16, 2010, 2:54pm UTC
A black pair of shorts. They go with almost anything, and you can dress them up or dress them down. Actually, I'm even wearing a pair today.
Dusty Hubbard Aug 16, 2010, 2:54pm UTC
An awesome pair of shoes. If you have great shoes, your whole outfit just looks better!!
Patti M. Aug 16, 2010, 3:01pm UTC
Long white Linen shirt goes with dress pants and jeans.
Nana to Seven Cutiepies Aug 16, 2010, 3:23pm UTC
I have a perfect pair of jeans that are great for almost every occasion. They make me feel young again. I don't know what I'll do if they ever wear out. I can feel dressy with a dressy top and accessories or tone down the look with a casual top and some modern pieces of jewelry. Dressy or casual shoes and I'm on my way.
☆ ƒåitĥ ☆ Aug 16, 2010, 3:26pm UTC
My favorite fashion piece that always looks great are TIGHTS! Gosh, I sure do love tights.
dan m. Aug 16, 2010, 3:35pm UTC
good old blue jeans
April H. Aug 16, 2010, 3:38pm UTC
What is your favorite fashion piece that always looks great? The Little Black Dress! I love mine!
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Aug 16, 2010, 3:40pm UTC
I have to agree with April about the little black dress.
Shelbia C. Aug 16, 2010, 3:41pm UTC
I like all of my rings, but my favorite is a diamond ring that I inheritied from my mother. It is almost always on my finger because it reminds me of her and also because I think it is beautiful
Stephanie Ann Aug 18, 2010, 12:21pm UTC
That's so sweet. Very sentimental.
colleen m. Aug 16, 2010, 3:43pm UTC

my favorite pair of jeans!
Amanda P. Aug 16, 2010, 4:57pm UTC
Jeans are my favorite piece.
Jenn P. Aug 16, 2010, 5:08pm UTC
My long tank with beaded straps.. Love it!
Christina B. Aug 16, 2010, 5:25pm UTC
My wedding rings! :)
Trish A. Aug 16, 2010, 5:38pm UTC
My leather Stone Mountain purse that I bought at Goodwill for $3.50!
Stephanie Ann Aug 18, 2010, 12:17pm UTC
Sounds like a good buy! I got my purse that I use for school as well for $12.
Trish A. Aug 23, 2010, 4:44pm UTC
Don't you just love good deals?
Darcy O. Aug 16, 2010, 5:59pm UTC
A comfortable pair of jeans!
carolyn b. Aug 16, 2010, 6:55pm UTC
I would say shoes/boots, I love to match them with my tops
Felicia G. Aug 16, 2010, 7:44pm UTC
There is nothing better as an accessory than a beautiful smile!
Deborah Sloan Aug 16, 2010, 7:47pm UTC
It has to be a great piece of jewelry. Whether it's a ring or watch for the guys or a fabulous bracelet or necklace for the ladies. Nothing beats a great piece of jewelry. A bit of flash never hurt anyone.
jenn g. Aug 16, 2010, 7:50pm UTC
my fashion piece that always looks great is a cute summery tank top, they are great for layering in the fall/winter also!
K D Lovett Aug 16, 2010, 8:00pm UTC
My fashion piece that I think looks best is a bright color tshirt under a jacket with a silver heart necklace. The shirt really pops with the neutral jacket and necklace. The beauty is that I can use the same necklace and jacket with a different color shirt and it looks so different that I've changed an entire outfit's look for only a few dollars. With a few neutral jackets and a few pairs of pants in black, navy, and tan, I can have a different look with out breaking the bank.
Cindy K. Aug 16, 2010, 8:13pm UTC
I love my t shirts! Comfy!
Vikki M. Aug 16, 2010, 8:47pm UTC
I'm kind of fashion backward so I'm never sure what really looks good. I'm more about comfort. But I do have a sundress that I love.
Ann W. Aug 16, 2010, 9:34pm UTC
A black t-shirt can be so versatile.
Michelle C (faithhopelove20) Aug 16, 2010, 9:43pm UTC
My black thong 3-inch heeled sandals! They go awesome with dresses, dress pants, jeans, or capris!!
sharon g. Aug 16, 2010, 9:43pm UTC
a great pair of shoes in a bright color that pops!
Connie C. Aug 16, 2010, 10:00pm UTC
Boots! I love boots. I would wear them year round if I could get by with it. I have more pairs of boots than I do shoes. Black, brown, tan. . . it does not matter what color they are or the height I love them all.
Stephanie Ann Aug 18, 2010, 9:11am UTC
My mother loves boots too! I do too. They're just so fashionable. Too bad you'd look funny wearing them in summer, or I'd wear them too!
April H. Aug 16, 2010, 10:25pm UTC
What is your favorite fashion piece that always looks great?I love T-shirts!!!!! I have sooo many!!!! I love them because you can where them in winter with a jacket and jeans or in the summer with shorts and flip flops.
Sassy *bacon makes me happy* Cat Aug 17, 2010, 1:52am UTC
My pewter cat bracelet!
Sophie S. Aug 17, 2010, 1:55am UTC
Form fitting jeans of course!
Lena Christine Aug 17, 2010, 6:37am UTC
I always have at least one white tank top because there is just so many things you can do with it.
Kim K. Aug 17, 2010, 7:29am UTC
You can't go wrong with a good pair of jeans!! Can be dressed up or down with accessories!!
Chavonne H. Aug 17, 2010, 9:31am UTC
my purse. I love to have different purses to go with how I feel on a certain day.
jenny D. Aug 17, 2010, 9:54am UTC
What is your favorite fashion piece that always looks great? My long black gypsy skirt.
Rita Johnson Aug 17, 2010, 10:55am UTC
What is your favorite fashion piece that always looks great? I have a favorite pair of Jeans that fit good on me
Jessica S. Aug 17, 2010, 1:48pm UTC
Jeans. Everything works with jeans.
Julie F. Aug 17, 2010, 1:53pm UTC
Jeans and a t-shirt. As fashion has changed, there's always been the mainstay of jeans and a t-shirt! :)
DiAnA D. Aug 17, 2010, 3:17pm UTC
I have a brown a-line dress that I wear with a brown and gold jacket over it! Makes me feel like fall every time, very professional looking and not too hot for Florida fall
Mary G. Aug 17, 2010, 4:10pm UTC
My purse
People ask where I bought it. My husband bought it for my birthday.
Rebecca P. Aug 17, 2010, 4:11pm UTC
My favorite fashion piece are cute sandals. I have a few pairs I love because they're comfortable and had a heel (and being short it makes me a little taller) plus they go with any outfit.
J G Aug 17, 2010, 5:06pm UTC
Toga
Stephanie Ann Aug 18, 2010, 9:25am UTC
Your comment made me laugh. I guess they'd be comfortable, but a bit chilly in the winter!
Jessica Slate Aug 17, 2010, 7:17pm UTC
I know its been said on here several times already but it is my absolute favorite piece of fasion- denim jeans! For me to go from casual to a night out they need to be bootcut and a medium wash color, not too dark or too light. I like when they are treated to show wear at the knees but if im gonna wear the same pair from work to going out then I can live without that too. You can so easily go from work boots to a pair of strappy sandals, from a regular shirt or polo to a feminine top with short sleeves or spaghetti straps and you are transformed! Even a little black dress doesnt go that well with everything in your closet. And everybody has that pair of worn in jeans that fits them perfect and make them feel good just walking out the door in them, I know I do! The bonus: they are for all seasons! No one looks at you like you are insane because you wore jeans in the summer or winter!
Stephanie Ann Aug 18, 2010, 12:13pm UTC
I love my jeans too and I must agree. I must admit that I wear my jeans in the summer too! Lol
Bobbi Romans Aug 17, 2010, 7:27pm UTC
A perfectly worn pair of jeans. Not to faded, not to new, just perfectly worn. Dress em up with pumps and the perfect smock, or down with the soft baby tee and flip flops.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Aug 17, 2010, 7:55pm UTC
I love your thinking, Dana.
Stephanie Ann Aug 18, 2010, 9:09am UTC
I agree, Dana!
Mary M. Aug 17, 2010, 8:11pm UTC
Black dress slacks. Easy peasy!
Jeina A. Aug 17, 2010, 10:59pm UTC
A pair of casual heels always looks great, though I'll admit that it's not necessarily the most comfortable footwear choice!
Stephanie Ann Aug 18, 2010, 12:04pm UTC
I agree. Heels do spice up an outfit. They just hurt your feet after awhile. What a bummer!
Janice J. Aug 18, 2010, 12:11am UTC
A crisp, white blouse: button front, long sleeves, well-tailored and made of a silky polyester fabric. The possibilities are limitless.

Heather M. Aug 18, 2010, 2:43am UTC
My Tommy Hilfiger sweaters.
Nichole S. Aug 18, 2010, 3:15am UTC
Necklaces! They make my outfits "fun"
Stephanie Ann Aug 18, 2010, 4:42pm UTC
I love necklaces too. I tend to buy lots of them and never wear them!

I love your picture, by the way!
Katryn D. Aug 18, 2010, 8:30am UTC
my favorite fashion piece is my pearl necklace because 1) it is a gift from my husband & 2) it goes with anything and make make things just that little bit dressier if you want/need.
Stephanie Ann Aug 18, 2010, 12:01pm UTC
That's sweet! My mother loves pearls as well. I think there are black pearls as well. I find those beautiful as well.
Stephanie Ann Aug 18, 2010, 9:07am UTC
My favorite fashion piece that always looks great is a nice pair of jeans. It's so easy in the morning to just pull on a pair of jeans and pair it with any top you have in your closet!
Alex in Wonderland Aug 18, 2010, 10:41am UTC
My favorite great-looking fashion piece is my sunglasses!
If I had a fantastic pair of jeans and flip-flops I would say those but I don't. Sunglasses are my 3rd favorite.
Stephanie Ann Aug 18, 2010, 11:55am UTC
Oh yes, I love sunglasses too! I just started wearing them because I just got contacts. I've had glasses since I was three years old and just got rid of them this year!
Denise B. Aug 18, 2010, 11:41am UTC
I have a great pair of jeans that I can dress up or down and they look good on me and are comfortable too!
Stephanie Ann Aug 18, 2010, 11:58am UTC
I wish it was easy to find the perfect pair of jeans. I have one pair that I was lucky to fond that fits almost perfectly, but my jeans always tens to be too long or too big on the waist because I'm short and skinny.
Tiffany Messenger Aug 18, 2010, 12:31pm UTC
A great belt can change the look of an outfit entirely! Throw one on a simple dress and you can have a hot look.
Stephanie Ann Aug 18, 2010, 2:16pm UTC
I agree. I wish I had more than 2 belts! None of them work with the dresses.
Ginger R. Aug 18, 2010, 1:30pm UTC
My favorite fashion piece is jeans. They have NEVER gone out of style, are always comfortable, can be dressed up or down, come in a variety of shades and styles and are the most versatile thing I think anyone can own.
Rachel W. Aug 18, 2010, 2:30pm UTC
My magnetic gun-metal colored thumb ring. It goes with everything and I just love the way it looks and feels on my hand.
busy reader g. Aug 18, 2010, 3:22pm UTC
my black shirt that I got at a great price and can be dressed up so many ways thats I worn it on dates to wedding .... and it's very flattering
Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Aug 18, 2010, 3:52pm UTC
My inner beauty
What if we don't have teens? James is 4 and Nicholas and Megan are 22 and 18 now
Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Aug 18, 2010, 3:53pm UTC
btw if inner beauty don't count, my jeans I'm not into material things
sally g. Aug 18, 2010, 4:02pm UTC
I love long wavy dresses.
Amanda P. Aug 18, 2010, 4:14pm UTC
I would have to say the purse because it's the best piece in my mind.
Kelly K ~God is Good All the Time ~ Aug 18, 2010, 7:52pm UTC
hats. I love hats!!!! Not those big hats, but ones that go with a great outfit!!!
Debra M. Aug 18, 2010, 9:55pm UTC
My best piece is a pair of black moleskin trousers. When paired with a nice silk or cashmere top, I look polished and sophisticated. When paired with a more casual sweater or knit jersey, I look relaxed and put-together.
Ashley B. Aug 18, 2010, 10:34pm UTC
Strangely enough, my glasses. I'm not able to wear contacts, but my frames are stylish, and I change it up often. Besides, when you have to wear something all the time it let's a piece of your soul shine through.
Stephanie Ann Aug 19, 2010, 9:55am UTC
I understand. I had glasses since I was 3 years old and just recently got contacts and I had to wear glasses all the time, so they really did add to my outfit.
Lisa K. Aug 18, 2010, 10:59pm UTC
My favorite fashion piece is always a funky pair of dangling earrings!
Chelsea R. Aug 18, 2010, 11:55pm UTC
my favorite has to be a great fitting pair of jeans. jeans are so versatile! you can dress them up or down. you can feel dressed up in them or just relax and be lazy around the house in them. i always feel the most confident in a comfy pair! :)
Elaine A. Aug 19, 2010, 12:16am UTC
This would have to be, my sterling silver, garnet, marcasite cross pendant, worn on a serling silver box chain.
Everytime I wear this people always want to know where I got it from.
Elaine A. Aug 19, 2010, 12:22am UTC
It is a fashion accessory for some, but me me it also has meaning.
My cross.
The cross itself is a 3" made from sterling sliver, garnet & marcasite. I can weat it on a leather cord or sterling chain.
Everytime I wear it I get asked where I purchased it.
Christine Zibas Aug 19, 2010, 12:41am UTC
A charcoal grey turtleneck by Ralph Lauren. It can be casual with jeans or more professional with a skirt or flannel trousers.
alicia h. Aug 19, 2010, 1:09am UTC
Jeans! You can dress them up or down, they can be form fitting or loose, and they can be ripped up and distressed or clean cut and dressy.
Robert D. Aug 19, 2010, 2:18am UTC
Blue jeans, the perennial favorite. 'Nuf said.
Teresa W. Aug 19, 2010, 2:49am UTC
I think the little black dress cuz it can be used for almost any ocassion, either formal or informal.
Darcy O. Aug 20, 2010, 12:07pm UTC
Yes, you can always use that little black dress!
Mary D. Aug 19, 2010, 7:52am UTC
A good pair of shoes.You can wear whatever you want but sometimes a good pair of shoes can make or break an outfit.
Stephanie Ann Aug 19, 2010, 2:41pm UTC
I agree with you that shoes can make or break an outfit. Some shoes don't do with some outfits and it just makes the whole outfit look ridiculous.
Shannon W Aug 19, 2010, 9:16pm UTC
Hair scrunchies. I have really thick hair that drives me crazy and I have scrunchies in different colors that can go with different outfits.
Hollie C. Aug 19, 2010, 10:54pm UTC
My silver bracelet watch and my wedding ring. Those together are my favorite pieces of jewelry to wear.
The Red Headed Witch of Gather G. Aug 19, 2010, 11:40pm UTC
I have this wonderful flowy knee length black dress from Ann Taylor loft that I can't go wrong with.
Nichole S. Aug 19, 2010, 11:49pm UTC
Hair clips! having short hair, clips always make it fashionable
Jessica B. Aug 20, 2010, 11:25am UTC
Jeans - the darker, the better
Mari Marti Aug 20, 2010, 8:33pm UTC
Black slacks are a staple.
Jackie T. Aug 22, 2010, 12:41am UTC
comfortable jeans yet looks very nice and fitting
Annetherese M Aug 22, 2010, 9:04am UTC
What is your favorite fashion piece that always looks great?
My favorite fashion piece has got to be a really versatile pair of earrings--of course I need many pairs to dress up, look sporty and cool, or very feminine! I just love everyones answers!
Stefanie Plum, Gather Partner Team Aug 23, 2010, 11:19am UTC

Cindee Daniel Nov 18, 2011, 5:01am UTC
