Monochrome - and Link Up

I'm a big fan of the monochrome look, which is not as many think, wearing black and white.  It applies to a single colour, which can be worn in different hues, applied head to toe.
Burgundy is one of my favourite colours, so I paired an old favourite - a jumper with a detachable bow from Ted Baker - with my suede boots, bought in 2004. The skirt is from Asos but it was disappointing: not lined, and highlights the fact I'm short waisted. So it will be going back! Their sizing is all over the place:  this is a size 12  (US size 8) but looks tight;  meanwhile in the same order, a pair of khaki trousers, their own brand and size 12, were too big.

An easy way to bring any outfit up to date is to add new jewellery.  Seashells are a big trend for this year;  Mango have several including the one I snapped up for £17.99. 

Nearly two years ago the #5Over50 Challenge was Monochrome, and I wore all-white for that.

Last week's readers' favorite showed how much we all enjoy a bargain. The most popular post was by Laurie from Vanity and Me: Style On a Budget. Amazingly, she got this outfit for £20!
