Statement accessories can make the best ice breakers, whether it be a necklace, earrings, or even a hair bow. It's a great way to start a conversation, as I perfectly executed one last Saturday night. I generally compliment someone the first time I meet them, but not just because I'm trying to be nice, but because I actually do like whatever accessory they are wearing. This works for guys, too! I know I would be pretty happy and intrigued if a guy decided to make conversation based off the necklace or shoes I'm wearing. All you have to do is say it looks nice. There. Done. Win.
It's rather simple, really. Accessories are a better ice breaker than clothing simply because accessories don't come along with insecurities.

I'd never thought about it, but accessories really do provide the perfect ice breaker. I need to start accessorizing.
ReplyDeleteI love how you break down that flattery doesn't have to be this over the top hurrah, just a nice little line that lets people feel comfortable enough to start talking.
ReplyDeleteI do this all the time! I usually comment on people's shoes, though. Or what they're eating. A good compliment is such an easy way to find common ground in a conversation!
