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 D Z 0 Prince Charles gave his watch to Princess Diana during a polo match to start this accessories trend. 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.
