Marvellous Metallics: 5 Over 50 Challenge #2

Rock star chic with metallic boots and skirt and Bowie t-shirt
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. How to wear a lot of metallics in one outfit!

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:
