Monique from BBC1s The Serpent

I know that I should be left contemplating the horror of that absolute narcissistic egotistical maniac drugging and killing all manner of people going about their finding themselves on the 1970's hippie trail.  And I am, especially as I visited a lot of the places myself as an adventurous twenty-something.  But I, like most women I have spoken to about the BBC's edge-of-your-seat-binge-them-all-like-quality-streets drama is Monique's style.  It has inspired a jaw dropping purchase of 7 pairs of sunglasses this week.  In January.  In Staffordshire.  I haven't seen the sun for weeks.  But I so want to wear kaftans and oversized sunglasses and talk with a French accent.  Delving into my wardrobe I have found several Desigual pieces that worn with this vibe.  I have been channelling my floaty desires into long boho dresses worn with tights underneath to ward off the hyperthermia.  I have also cut about 3 inches off my own hair.  I think I may need help.The Serpents Monique Style with Oversized Sunglasses
