Kate, an Australian, wore some very interesting accessories to complement her understated travel wardrobe; a la Sheilah Scotter’s advice, which I never seem to get right- the basic tenets being black and white, simple lines, good fabrics, mix and match, add interest with accessories….I didn’t handle this piece but imagine it to be styrofoam balls, something very very lightweight, covered in b/w gingham and threaded on thick thread to hang around the neck- whatever it was, the construction was simple, but the effect was quite dramatic. At other times, Kate also wore an extremely long , er, necklace, perhaps ‘overtheshoulderlace’ of large white wooden beads at first glance looked like bleached vertibrae…. threaded and slung around one side of the neck, crossing chest and back diagonally on the other side, hanging down to around knee or mid calf length. Fun.
