SIA: Inspired by Chicago's Cloud Gate sculpture

The Style Imitating Art challenge is something I haven't done for ages, but I was inspired by the choice of Chicago's "Bean" sculpture. We saw this iconic sculpture in Millennium Park back in 2008 when John was taking part in the Chicago Marathon.  Like most visitors, we attempted a "selfie" in front of the sculpture's reflective surface.

For my outfit I chose shades of grey, white, silver and black with plenty of texture and glitter, from the pearl collar on my cream shell top to the shiny silver Vionic shoes and silver lurex tights, the heavy medallion necklace and the metallic silver pleated skirt. Not to mention my Lipsy black sequin jacket  (affectionately known as "the Elton John jacket" because I wore it when we saw Sir Elton just over a year ago).

For once the London skies weren't grey: today it's been a glorious spring-like day with blue sky.

The SIA Challenge this month was chosen by Erin of Loop Looks. Visit her blog on Wednesday (21 February) to see what the other participants came up with.

More on the fabulous Vionic* shoes

The minute I put these stylish Edie shoes on, my feet gave a happy sigh. I've written about Vionic shoes before, here and here. Not only are the shoes stylish, they're also supremely comfortable thanks to being biomechanically designed to hug your arches. Vionic's  FMT Technology helps support natural alignment from the ground up. The Edie shoes are new in for spring/summer and are also available in black and rose gold.

* I was gifted the Vionic Edie shoes. Everything else is my own.
