A look that is dressy, but not without humour, I chose to put together classic black and golden/beige pieces with the seasonal trend of romantic ruffles paired with a quirky watch pendant, a beautiful satin clutch and vintage-inspired earrings. A change of bag and earrings would easily move this look into the daytime hours.
Classic summer "safari" styling, perfect for a light tan, alfresco dinner after a day in the sun, and accented elegantly but casually by touches of gold in the shoes and accessories, all of which carry a slightly ethnic feel.
I would wear the shorts slightly oversized, without a belt, letting the jacket define the shape, and ideally without a shirt, to show the necklace off against a bit of skin!
