There are times when a little something just grabs your attention. It doesn't fit with the norm and makes you sit up to take notice, even when you want to fight it. Everything I know about fashion tells me there are rules to follow, everything I know about life tells me the best 'stuff' invariably happens when you look at those rules turn around and rip them in half. The best clothes I own, are the ones I couldn't walk away from but knew I probably should, there was a more sensible way to spend my money - a more appropriate item that would give me more options on a case by case basis. However when you love something you think of options, sometimes having to make something work is a lot more productive than following a formula.
It's the shoes that are technically a little too high to be practical, the jacket (insert item as appropriate) that will always need to be at best dry cleaned and at worst can't even have that done by anyone but a specialist, less added value more added unexpected expense, a users tax if you will. I know its easy to dismiss these pieces, we are all practical grown ups and understand the realities of life but I would rather have one piece that I am genuinely excited to own, than 20 V neck jumpers in assorted colours.
