If you are keeping an eye on the fashion websites and various blogs you might recognise these neon By Malene Birger earrings from some of them. They've been under the fashionistas spotlight for awhile now. Somehow they were still hiding in my accessories drawer and I just couldn't find the right occasion to wear them. Until I did yesterday!
So how do you wear such over-the-top statement piece? My answer is dress down. You need to tone everything else in your outfit down to the minimum in order to not resemble a) a Christmas tree b) someone who tries too hard c) looking like you are dressed up to go clubbing in the middle of the day. I chose this casual double denim ensemble and black accessories to leave space for the earrings to shine without making me feel uncomfortable.
I agree, first I felt very conscious of the unusually big and sparkling accessory but it took just a couple of window reflections for me to regain my confidence and feeling chic on a very ordinary Thursday.
