Much has been said about the style of clothing women wear. But, what about how each accessorize? Are you of the Coco Chanel variety, where you like to take off one piece before you leave the house? Or, do you like to pile on the trinkets Rachel Zoe-style? The below 'style personalities' should help you ascertain which tribe you really belong to.


MINIMALIST MARY
A simple white gold heart necklace or diamond pendant, teamed with a classic timepiece and ring, are all you generally need to get you through the day. You  favour crisp, white shirts, tailored, black trousers and classic ballet flats - and are partial to trench coats. Coco Before Chanel and Breakfast At Tiffany's are your fave flicks.

GAUDY GRACIE
You pile on the gold and the platinum, and then you load on a little more. You're not afraid of mixing jewelry metals and styles - 'the more, the merrier' is your fashion motto. You also like to clash exotic prints and bright colours in your clothing wardrobe. Character-wise, you're adventurous, dramatic and like to be the centre of attention. Think Fran Drescher in The Nanny.

HIP HAYLEY
If Gossip Girl gang are wearing it or the ladies on The City, you will already likely have it in your jewelery box - or on lay-by! You don't have a definite style. You change season by season to keep up-to-the-minute with all the trends and that's just the way you like it. Last year it was bejewelled cuffs for you and, this year, it's key pendant necklaces. (If you haven't changed your style in the last millisecond, that is.)

SPORTY SALLY
Jewelry? The closest you get to accessories is putting your Ray-Bans on. For you, life is a sport - and anything that gets in the way of your top form isn't worth worrying about. You're no Serena Williams. Diamonds only come out for the end-of-year awards night. And, even then, they're kept to classic stud earrings. The sportsfield is your best friend, not diamonds.
