Men have it easy when it comes to accessorizing. All they have to worry about are ties, watches, belts and maybe briefcases. Their shoes don't real- ly count as accessories because they're almost always the same color and height. But women? We have to deal with earrings, watches, bracelets, rings, necklaces, belts, chains, brooches, scarves, glasses, stock- ings, socks, hats, headbands, hand- bags, briefcases and shoes of every style, height and color. Being prop- erly accessorized is anything but cheap. Years ago, I made a rash deci- sion. In retrospect, I see it as a stroke of genius. Having owned and lost dozens of earrings in my life, I decided that from then on, I would own just one all-purpose lovely pair of earrings. I would wear that one pair all the time. Why not? I had worn the same ring day after day, year after year and had not been arrested for taking unacceptable fashion risks. I made this decision for one rea- son: to stop spending money on ear- rings. It came with a fringe benefit I didn't expect. I gained time and peace. I don't waste effort trying to decide which earrings to wear. I don't waste time trying to find earrings that match. I always know where my ear- rings are, so I haven't lost an ear- ring in many years. To my surprise, this one decision noticeably simplified my life. And it became my catalyst to discover more ways to simplify. Gradually converting to all white linens and towels has simplified doing the laundry. Sort- ing is a breeze. Every- thing matches automati- cally. I never deal with faded towels or mis- matched pillow slips. White goes with every- thing, and it never goes out of style. I have learned that simplifying, dry-cleaning. That $15 to $20 tab every trip really adds up. Have you considered the expensive waste of time all those trips represent? • Make water your drink of choice. Just think of all the cans, jars and bottles you won't have to buy, lug home and then lug back to the recycling center, not to mention the cost. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate even in small ways, makes my life more enjoyable. Want to simplify your life? Start small and see what happens. I have three ideas that might work for you, or maybe they won't. Either way, I know they'll help you think of ways you can slow down and enjoy the things that real- ly matter. • Stop buying clothes that require • Don't answer the phone just because it's ringing. It's a minor point, but just because it's convenient for someone else to call you at this particular time does not necessarily mean it's a con- venient time for you. It's been said that the secret to happiness is not in getting more, but in wanti- ng less. The irony is that in wanting less, you will actu- ally come out with more -- more time, more joy and more money in your pocket.
