A bunch of Latinas at Pitzer College decided to let white girls know that they shouldn’t wear hoops anymore, because that’s appropriating a style.... I’ve never worn hoop earrings for the purpose of “feeling ethnic,” nor have I ever associated hoop earrings with a certain culture. They’ve always been an accessory I like. It’s really as simple as that.... I can’t wear hoops because I didn’t “create the culture as a coping mechanism for marginalization”? I can’t wear hoops because I’m not a feminist? Furthermore, I can’t wear hoops because some Latinas can’t afford it? Furthermore, I can’t wear hoops because I refuse to buy into your hypersensitive BS?.... Does anyone else realize how completely ridiculous that sounds?

Caroline had felt more comfortable thinking of beauty as something separate from her, like a scarf or a coat you could check before going into a show. She wondered now, however, if she had treated more things as a part of herself rather than an accessory, perhaps everything would have turned out differently.

I just like how [glasses] look on me and how they make me feel more confident. Isn’t that the point of anything we wear, anyway?

Like most little girls, I found the lure of grown-up accessories astonishing - lipstick, perfume, hats and gloves. When I write female characters in my historical novels, getting these details right is vital.
