Those
little
extras
By Amy Mindell
UST THE thing you need, dear," she
had told you. "It will be the perfect
touch for your outfit." So you bought
it...
Now what do you do with your no-fade
pink suede shoecovers, and don't forget
the matching headband, "for effect".
You vow never to let this happen to you
again, but how do you know which ac-
cessories are in or out? Read on for the
complete guide to fashion accessories.
The best place to start revving up
your wardrobe is at the top-earrings.
Ann Arbor has a wide range of earrings
for every look.
"There is a big variety of people in
Ann Arbor," said Peggy Hosner,
manager of The Earport. "We have a
store in East Lansing, but they won't
buy the wilder things."
"We sell a lot of earrings!" ex-
claimed Debbie Woodlawn of Middle
Earth.
Middle Earth offers many types of
earrings: one-inch plastic discs with a
football tackler in progress-perfect for
those football Saturdays; long chains of
rhinestones-dazzling at a Pledge for-
mal; two-inch skeletons-a must for a
Halloween party.
For those whose taste do not run to

the wild side, Roberts and Born have
sorority earrings which sport greek let-
ters on a small button shaped base.
"They sell best around rush," said
clerk Heidi Bleecker, a business school
senior. "I have sorority socks," chimed
in Mary Ellen Bageris, a business
school junior. Bleecker and Bageris are
members of the Kappa Kappa Gamma
sorority.
The earring craze is not limited to
women only. "We get almost as many
men as women in here for ear-
piercing," said Hosner. "People also
get double and triple pierces," she ad-
ded: "Earrings are a big completion for
an outfit. Women come in and ask for
specific colors."
Another accessory that can add
mystique to your look is sunglasses.
Sunglasses are coming off the beach
and into the streets. Many students are
adopting the Risky Business look of Ton
Cruise with Ray Ban wayfarer glasses.
"They are our best sellers," said Gary
Beuchler, an LSA sophomore and clerk
at Riehardson's Pharmacy. Ray Bans
run from $40 to $60.
"They sell really fast for a high price
glass," added Charlotte Komosinsky, a
Richardson's clerk, "but I think the
(cat-eye shaped glasses) are getting
more popular, I see them a lot on kids in
those late night videos.''
Though Ray Bans are one of the
highest priced sunglasses in Ann Arbor,
students still buy them. Many who have
them come in and don't even try them
on, they just ask for the same style,
reported Komosinsky. "One guy said he
way buying his fifth pair, the first four
had been stolen," added Buechler.
For those who don't consider
sunglasses an investment, less expen-
sive pairs are available.
The Cat's Meow offers a wide variety
of glasses from six to nine dollars.
There are mirrored John Lennon style
glasses (small round frames) which
are "very popular" according to owner
Keith Hay. The best sellers are their
"phoonays", imitations of the Vaurnet
(cat style) sunglasses which run to $70.
Phoonays cost around $7.
Sunglasses are ideal for remaining
incognito, hiding red eyes (from
studying, of course), "'scoping' without
the girls (or guys) seeing you look at
them" offered one Daily staffer, and
even for reducing the glare of the sun.
Another dual purpose accessory, im-
perative on a campus where every clock
says a different time, is a watch.
The run-away favorite on campus is
the ubiquitous Swatch-a plastic mass-
produced timepiece from Switzerland.
"We can't keep them in stock," said
Theresa Geisler, manager of Middle
Earth. Middle Earth also has cartoon
character watches, which are very
popular, according to Geisler. You can
see Gumby, James Dean, Boris and
Natasha, Popeye or Mickey smiling up
at you from your wrist.
To compliment a watch, many people
have adopted Madonna's look, of stacks
of "gumies" or black plastic loops
around the arm. State discount sells
them for 3 for $1. "They sell really
well," said clerk Liz Cahn, an education
school senior. One guy came in and
bought $5 worth, added clerk Carole
Statland, an LSA junior.
Lisa Smith, an LSA freshwoman,
sports two gumies and a man's swatch
on her wrist. "I like them because they
are comfortable, unbreakable, hard to
lose, and match with everything," she
confided. "I lose all my jewelry."
But others disagree with Smith's ap-
praisal. "Madonna is a waste of time,"
said one shopper at the Cat's Meow.
Owner Hay agreed: "It was good before
she became so popular, now it's not as
cool."
The Cat's Meow offers many less
popular, more off-the-wall accessories,
including mink collars (complete with
hands, feet, and beady little eyes).
"They are vintage (secondhand). I
would never bring in new merchandise
like that," explained Hay. Also "tourist
scarves" (printed scarves for hair or
neck), swedish military bags, ties (new
and vintage), lace gloves, and other
nylon gloves ranging in shade from
lime green to burgundy.
Middle Earth's Geisler ' suggested
anything Hawaiian or cartoon would be
very big for spring-neon is definitely
out.
For those who are always looking
ahead and are ready to start ac-
cessorizing for Fall, Lauren Bernard,
an EMU student and fashion designer
for Bivouac, suggested military
medals, purses, bookbags, and socks would
be big at that store in September.
