"All right, now let's talk about accessories, and accessories are very, very important for both men and women to complete their outfit that they're going to wear into the work environment. Be very, very careful, just as you picked your style of clothing, be careful when you pick your style and type of accessories. Now if you're working in a place where you can dress in a trendy manner, probably the size and style of your jewelry doesn't matter. But in a lot of places, you really want to stay away from these really big accessories, these really wild things, because they're not...they're probably things that aren't conservative enough, because they're going to detract, they're going to bring a lot of attention to you, and that can be very distracting. And when I'm talking about accessories I'm talking about earrings, I'm talking about necklaces, rings, bracelets, watches, belts, handbags, all of those things you want them to match, you want them to be in good condition, and you want to have the appropriate size and style. Don't be wearing earrings that are really, really, really loud, even if it's Christmas and there are little Santa bells on them, if that's not appropriate for the style in your work environment. And again, make sure everything is in excellent condition."
