    Oversized Accessories Create Favorable Illusions

    Posted August 5, 2009 by ritika

    Is it just me or do fashion accessories grow with each decade? I mean literally, bracelets, earrings, handbags, and even hair (pomp/tease) seem better when they’re bigger. I think there’s an obvious method behind the madness: bigger accessories makes you appear smaller.

    In fact, Beyonce made a little confession on the Tyra Banks show a while back when she said that she thinks she has big ears. She said to compensate, she always wears huge earrings. You know what, it totally works.  You wouldn’t be able to notice her ears if you tried.

    Sunglasses are another in-style accessory that you can use to your benefit in creating an illusion. Lauren Conrad, among countless other fashionistas, is always seen rocking the oversized, bug-eyed sunglasses.

    This illusion definitely works. With huge sunglasses as big as those, how can your face not seem smaller?

    The last sure-fire trick to make your overall appearance more petite is the popular hair tease/pomp. Big hair was in style in the 80’s but we’ve come far from that, thank god. Slightly pomped hair gives a classy, modern look and best of all, it makes the rest of you look smaller–especially in an updo.
    Emmanuelle Chriqui, better known as Sloan from Entourage, always gives her hair a little tease and she looks so petite, all the time.

    Disclaimer: I do not support wearing all of the above at once–one word: overkill. If you walked outside with a huge bag, flashy earrings, big pomp, and oversized sunglasses–you might appear to be a midget. So, just pick one.
