“Caroline had felt more comfortable thinking of beauty as something separate from her, like a scarf or a coat you could check before going in to a show. She wondered now, however, if she had treated more things as a part of herself rather than an accessory, perhaps everything would have turned out differently.”
― Erica Bauermeister, Joy for Beginners

“A bunch of Latinas at Pitzer College decided to let white girls know that they shouldn’t wear hoops anymore, because that’s appropriating a style.... I’ve never worn hoop earrings for the purpose of “feeling ethnic,” nor have I ever associated hoop earrings with a certain culture. They’ve always been an accessory I like. It’s really as simple as that....I can’t wear hoops because I didn’t “create the culture as a coping mechanism for marginalization”? I can’t wear hoops because I’m not a feminist? I can’t wear hoops because some Latinas can’t afford it? I can’t wear hoops because I refuse to buy into your hypersensitive BS?....Does anyone else realize how completely ridiculous that sounds?”
― Hannah Bleau

“Cleo was like those little bluebirds of happiness in Cinderella, flitting around until Natalie had been transformed into a princess. A fraudulent one, to be sure, but a princess nonetheless.
The silk dress from her mother's closet had been transformed into a couture masterpiece by the sartorial skills of Cleo's talented aunt. The sheath now fit like an extremely flattering glove. Its color, and the bright handwork accents, echoed the colors of the precious vase---jade green, turquoise, marigold, and fuchsia with veins of cobalt blue. She paired it with the gold-heeled sandals, the vintage watch, and a gold snake belt borrowed from Cleo.”
― Susan Wiggs, The Lost and Found Bookshop

― Marsha Hinds

“Don't confuse the clothes for the character,
don't confuse the car for the destination,
don't confuse the resume for the education.

Don't confuse the camera for the memory,
don't confuse the headphones for the music,
don't confuse the accessories for the person.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Tierra Carta: Naskar Charter of Earth

“Sunshine awakened Vanessa with the promise of a hot day. She moussed her hair as she walked to the bathroom, then, bending at the waist, flipped her head upside down and turned on the blow-dryer. When she was finished drying her hair, she flung her head back and used a curling iron to make spirals. She held the top pieces of hair back with butterfly barrettes, put on makeup, and dressed in cotton slacks and a funky crocheted top with smiling flowers stitched across the front.”
― Lynne Ewing, Moon Demon

“She pulled on her silver miniskirt, loving the way it showed off her hip bones and belly ring, then she twisted into a black cropped top. The sleeves covered her arms from wrist to shoulder and hid the worst of her bruises. She stretched and let the neckline slip low.
Her heart raced with anticipation. She took a deep breath, trying to quell her excitement about telling Derek her decision. Then she stared into the mirror, brushed on glitter eye shadow, and added sparkle to her hair. Tiny diamonds glimmered against her black curls. She pasted three pink stars on her cheek, then squeezed strobe cream into her palms and rubbed it over her legs. Her skin glowed, and the sweet fragrance of gardenias scented the air. She angled one foot in front of the other and cast a sly smile at her reflection. A thrill rushed through her. She looked like an enchantress.”
― Lynne Ewing, The Becoming
