Mummy On A Budget: Never Knowingly Under Accessorised

I love accessories especially handbags, cocktail rings and scarves and consequently, my wardrobe is over flowing with all of these. My bag and scarf use varies depending on the season so as it's now November, my summer bits have been packed away and my winter ones are enjoying their moment in the spotlight. This is what I'm using at the moment:

This small black handbag with perfect for work as I tend to prefer a dressier look for the office. The black leather fringed bag is an old favourite which is used time and time again and my current beloved is the mink satchel which seems to go with every outfit I pull on.

The red Day bag is a favourite, summer and winter, as is the grey pouchette from ASOS.

I collect clutch bags - most of mine are years old and I haven't added to the collection for quite a while. Mmmm, there's a thought ...

tan leather - vintage, gold silk - Oasis, gold leather - London boutique, pewter beaded - Topshop, straw and sequinned - Warehouse

black leather - vintage, black lace - Topshop, brown leather, grey leather and white leather - all vintage

red leather and tan leather - both vintage, multicoloured silk - Banana Republic, yellow leather - Banana Republic

My neck seems to need a scarf from October until about April. I'm awaiting the arrival of another Louis Vuitton Sprouse copy in blues and purples which I'm sure will be worn as much as my tan and red ones.

I don't seem to buy many high heels these days as I venture out to socialise on a fairly infrequent basis. These are all old but well loved and I'm sure I'll be wearing them all at some point over the winter.

Love the back zip detail on these

My watch and ring collection tends to be a bit of an ongoing project. Watch -wise, I'm fairly happy at present (although wouldn't say no to a Michael Kors chunky gold number). However, I'm always lusting after new cocktail rings and the current object of my affection is a Monica Vinader Moonstone ring in gold. I've also just lost a large silver and mother of pearl ring purchased in Ibiza a decade ago. Gutted. I can replace the ring but not all the memories that go with it.
