The Importance of Accessories
Do you ever feel unfashionable?Have you ever wondered how to keep up with new trends?
If you answered yes, then don’t worry! Many people feel they have to dress a certain way.
Fashion is a reflection of your character. Don’t let other peoples’ opinions influence how you dress! It’s important not to feel forced into the fashion choices you make. You may not be able to carry off a new look if it doesn’t suit your character.
Fashion should be fun so don’t be afraid to try out new styles. If you don’t feel brave enough to try a whole new wardrobe, accessories are the answer! By changing only your accessories, you’ll be saving money and then you’ll be able to keep up with the newest trends.
Adding accessories such as a bag, a belt, a hat, a scarf or jewellery can really change your look. For example, a pair of jeans and a T-shirt can be made into several different outfits2 for different events.
Currently, the sporty look is very popular. You may want accessories with a baseball cap and sweatbands or by carrying a sports bag.
To add some glamour3, you could wear a silk scarf as a belt. You could also wear jewellery such as wire bracelets5 and some dangling6 earrings7. These will transform your look into a glamorous8 gypsy style.
Whatever style you choose to follow, remember that fashion should be fun and most importantly it should be about you!

行文点评
文章以两个问句开始,向读者发问,提到了现在很流行的一个话题:fashion。作者假设读者的回答是肯定的,从而在下一段引出作者自己的观点:穿衣要有自己的风格。
在第三段中,作者先给时尚下了一个定义: Fashion is a reflection of your character。接着提出文章的主题:饰品可以帮你赶上潮流。进而作者提出了几个用饰品装扮时尚的例子,使得观点更加令人信服。文章结尾作者用Whatever引导的一个让步状语从句再一次重申:无论选择怎样的方式,潮流应该是适合自己的。

装饰品的重要性
是否你也曾觉得自己很老土?是否你曾经想过怎样才能赶上潮流的步伐?
即使你的答案是肯定的,也不用担心!很多人都觉得他们自己必须有自己的着装方式。
潮流是个性的反映。不要让别人的观点影响你的着装!不要觉得自己是被迫选择潮流,这是最重要的。如果和自己的个性不符,你根本就不会看起来焕然一新!
潮流应该是很有趣的,所以不要害怕尝试新款。如果你没有足够的勇气完全更新衣橱,装饰品就是你所需要的!仅换换装饰品,不但可以省钱,而且你也可以跟上最新潮流。
像包、皮带、帽子、丝巾和珠宝这些装饰品真的可以让你看起来完全不同。例如,一条牛仔裤和一件T恤就可以有许多搭配以适应不同场合的需要。
现在非常流行运动型装扮。或许你需要配个棒球帽、吸汗巾或者背个运动包。
想看起来更加魅力十足,你可以把丝巾当成皮带用。你也可以戴些像手镯和晃晃荡荡的耳环之类的饰品。这些都会让你看起来就像迷人的吉普赛人。
无论你选择怎样的方式,记住,潮流应该是很有趣的,最重要的是潮流应该适合你自己!
