Introducing a new monthly feature, the Five Over 50 challenge!
Four other bloggers, all over the age of 50, are joining me as we set each other a new challenge every month. The first one is "Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue."
My "old" is my denim wedges which came from Marks and Spencer; my "new" is a stripey tie waist top from Marks and Spencer. My "something borrowed" is the blue topaz pendant, and my "something blue" is a pair of Marks and Spencer print trousers (now put of stock). The cluster ring is an oldie from M&S.
Yes folks, I am pattern mixing! Albeit in monochrome. I was very taken by the waist ties of the top. I remember years ago yearning for a top like this after I saw another girl wearing one. Usually they're a bit cropped and ride up, but good old M&S have made sure it sits neatly at the waist. No muffin alerts!
The earrings are real forget-me-nots encased in resin which I bought from Wishes on the Wind at Etsy.
Let's see how the other ladies met the challenge.
Look at the fabulous Isles of Scilly blue sky in this photo from Anna of
Anna's Island Style. Her Something Old is a paisley maxi skirt, the new is the embroidered mules, the borrowed - a cute satin handbag borrowed from her sister and the blue, a biker jacket.
Ashley from
LazyDaisyJones is sporting gorgeous fringed jeans as her "blue." Her borrowed is a t-shirt from her son; her old is a Chanel bag, and her new is these fabulous gold mules.
Laurie from
Vanity And Me is wearing a New shirt from Hawes Curtis; her old is cream trousers from Next, her borrowed is a bangle and handbag, and her blue is the shirt.
Jacqui from
Mummabstylish has a lovely location to showcase her new, a jumpsuit from New Look. Her old is a jacket from H&M, her blue is a bag from New Look, and her borrowed is a necklace on loan from her daughter.
