This month the 5 Over 50 Challenge is Marvellous Metallics with the challenger being Anna from Anna's Island Style. I love metallics, particularly footwear, but I decided to stretch myself by styling a rock chick type of look!
I've got metallic overload with my black and gold skirt from River Island (old), clutch bag (Accessorize), gold boots (last season, Office), gold mules (Marks and Spencer). and gold belt (Madeleine, old). And for good measure, the bomber jacket I refer to as "the Elton John jacket," which has black sequins. I bought it when we went to see Elton in Belfast.
The Bowie t-shirt I bought on eBay. I wish I'd kept my 1983 Serious Moonlight Tour t-shirt! Finally I kept it up-to-date with long tassel earrings from Next, but took Kate Moss's advice and wore just one.
What do you think of my "new look"? Bit of a departure from the norm!
Now let's see how my four cohorts tackled the challenge:
Anna from
Anna's Island Style is rocking a metallic skirt and sandals. I absolutely love her necklace and bag!
Ashley from
Lazy Daisy Jones is wearing a pale gold metallic skirt but has given it a feminine edge with delicate shoes and a pretty blue denim top.
How sensational does Laurie from
Vanity and Me look in these metallic trousers? Her sandals and bag also pack some metallic punch.
Jacqui from
Mummabstylish has the most wonderful scarf with silver stars and has fabulous silver accessories.
