Oriental is big, big, big for Spring. And the thought of having an elegant cherry blossom print fan to cool myself down with on the long, steamy, sticky, hot summer days fills me with romantic joy.
However, it's still March, and still pretty damn cold out there.
But hurrah for Accessorize and this beautiful oriental themed necklace with a beautiful antique-gold fan pendent, created to fulfill my romantic cravings for all that is Japanese. Just £14 too.
With a statement necklace like this you have to keep the rest of your outfit low key. Black dress, high neckline, even keep your high heels fairly subtle. Too much in the way of patterns and it will detract from that beautiful bit of jewellery round your neck and totally overcomplicate your look.
As Coco Chanel once said, when leaving the house take off the last accessory you put on. A simple, clean outfit with one striking piece or feature is far more elegant than a mish mash of clashing patterns and accessories.
Ok, Coco Chanel may not have said mish mash - but you get my point.
