This headpiece, from Paris based Maison Michel, went on sale on Net-a-Porter this morning.
The site suggests pairing “this opulent accessory with your favorite LBD to bring bygone beauty to a modern cut.” We suggest:
1. Wearing it as a necklace and perhaps layering with other pearls in homage to McQueen‘s sea theme, or The Little Mermaid.
2. Double wrapping it around your ankle to achieve some of that ankle/shoe fringe we’ve seen – and loved – on the Spring/Summer 2010 runways.
3. Putting your $2,195 toward a pair of Brian Atwoods and this adorable ombre Miu Miu clutch. In total, you’ll spend an extra couple of hundred, but hey, it’s worth it.
4. Jumping for joy because the recession must be over.
