Everyday ways...

Statement pieces are curious things.

Regardless of the nature of the item, when you are purchasing them, you are generally doing so for a special occasion (party, wedding, holiday), you don't really imagine them becoming part of your everyday wardrobe.

But this s is exactly what has happened with my A Alicia bespoke necklace.

This week it has been really warm and I have found myself wearing it everyday. I have been wearing it to work on top of an old handkerchief paisley print sundress.

It's no secret that I cannot handle the heat, so I have also had to break out one of my many vintage fans. These are no mere affectation. They help prevent my face turning the colour of a tomato before I simply fall over in the heat.

Talking of falling over, I also decided to try and follow the example of Queen Michelle this week and take a favourite pair of shoes, who never really see the light of day, into work, and wear and enjoy them there.

Cue my Miu Miu wedges...
