The next time you decide to wear a statement piece choose carefully while considering the question, "what kind of statement am I making?" I adore imaginative pieces but there is a fine line between eccentric and tacky. For example, if your boyfriend blazer is stating that it was victim to a sequin factory explosion then keep it in the closet. Rethink that ostrich feather vest if it is declaring your magical ability to fly like a bird.
If you choose to wear a statement piece, wear it with confidence. Most importantly, pair it with simple understated items that aren't distracting. The statement piece should be the focal point of your entire ensemble.
I choose this jacket because it a reflection of my inner child that still fantasizes of being a fairy princess when she grows up. The bright colors of the gems are striking, but placed over simple black wool allow for a sophiscated aesthetic. Remember you're wearing it. It shouldn't wear you.
