The statement top, if you are anything like me you have a few, they look fab, and you will always get compliments when you wear them. However, the downside is they can be expensive, hard to mix and match in your wardrobe and so distinctive that they are definitely a once a month kind of item (even that might be pushing it).

I bought this one from FCUK about 4 years ago, my husband told me over dinner tonight that he didn’t believe me, that it must be new as he had never seen me in it.
What a great indicator of how little I have worn it over that period of time!

So if like me you are partial to a statement item, don’t completely stop buying them if you really fall in love with an item, ’cause sometimes that excitement you experience when you purchase a frivolous item is actually worth the money. Rather my advice is to not do it all the time (unless you are loaded lol), because it is unlikely they will work hard enough in your wardrobe to justify the monetary outlay.

I liken them to junk food, only splurge occasionally!
