So, in addition to the Smythe blazer you’ve already seen, I bought one other thing with the last of my Xmas gift money …

"toddler art project" or "luxe statement"?

There was something about this MaxMara necklace which immediately drew me to it, although I’m honestly not sure if this will turn into one of those pieces I will wear (and treasure) forever, or a regretted impulse buy. It could go either way. For now, I love it … so, of course, I couldn’t wait to wear it. I thought it might add a little something to this Boden dress, which is very nice but kinda hard to accessorize. I don’t know if the leaf-on-leaf action is rather overdoing it, but I figured I might as well go big or go home. Boom, there you have it.

  1. Love this necklace! I’m very petite so large statement pieces like this one overpower my frame nine times out of ten…so naturally I covet them. Wear that sucker ’til your dying days, lady!

    • Haha! That’s how I feel about everything that’s unsuitable to my shape/lifestyle/age — covet them all. From time to time, I give in to the urge … case in point, ahem.
