Some designers are so cutting edge, so incredibly chic, I don’t consider myself hip enough to pull them off — but I can dream, can’t I? And when I do have these day-dreams, I always imagine myself wearing something by Alexander McQueen.

What an exciting way to add a pop of color and an entire week’s worth of urban chic to one day’s outfit… this bright red patent leather belt wraps twice around your wrist, fastened with a gold-tone skull charm and a coin stamped with the Alexander McQueen signature.

This gorgeous long-line necklace measures a stunning 31” in length, with a delicate gold-tone bird’s skull dangling at the end. Layer with other gold-tone necklaces, or wear it alone over a black tunic and patterned leggings.
I love the McQueen signature skulls… some might find them morbid, or odd, but they remind me of the Day of the Dead, celebratory and ornate rather than scary. I adore the lace skull ring, and the skull bangles… which of these Alexander McQueen accessories do you like best, and why? What do you think of the skulls?
