Monochromatic Magic

I'm a massive fan of black! (who isn't?) May be its the ease of styling it or the fact that anything black will pretty much go with anything?? Or because it's so easy to maintain?? I don't know but all I do know is it's the colour that I most tend to turn to. Must admit though that I have got better in the recent years as I have tried my best to stay away from the colour.

Nowadays when I wear black I try to add a pop of colour, it mostly come in the form of accessory. I have not really been a massive fan of jewellery but to say I have been converted won't do justice. Where have I been all these years?? Holed up in a cave?? why I didn't embrace the trend is beyond me! However my preferences have changed because I tend to move a lot towards jewellery with geometric shapes. 

Let's move on to the outfit shall we? I've tyried to stay away from the monochrome trend but how long can one resist so I gave in! But instead of a full monochrome look I have added some colour using the tan heels and a bit of neon. 

The top is from Zara and its very casual, I have never worn it with anything but jeans. Yet I don't know why I reached for it when actually I was after a shirt to go with this Skater skirt. With the skater skirt I normally tuck the top in but decided against it, which I think actually looks a lot better (thoughts?)

If you really want a pop of colour then go for a neon clutch, which I think would look great with a monochrome outfit.

G is for gold?

I'm starting to wear more and more colours that I didn't wear when I was younger. It's amazing how your taste and perception of things change with age and experience isn't it??

Gold is one of them colours. I didn't think it suited my dark skin colour. I stayed away from everything gold, even jewellery. I even went as far as to tell my mum I'm allergic to gold to get away from wearing something gold ( sorry mum)

But I have now embraced the colour. Not in full mode but I have the odd item and bucket loads of gold jewellery. I now like how the colour stand out from my skin colour.

This top is from Mango, when Kate Moss was the face (quite old). She wore this top in the advert and was sold out every where in the UK. I got this top from mango somewhere in Europe for a mere €5 in the sale (ha!ha! In your face) it's quite a rough fabric so I don't tend to wear it a lot apart from the odd night out or evening meal. But it's such a simple style that really make you stand out from the crowd.

It was a nice day, so what better excuse do we need to get our legs out?? I like this skater skirt because of its elasticated belt as to waist bands with zips you can pull it up for a high waisted look or pull down a bit for a lower waisted skirt. It has also got less volume than full flared skater skirt, which I also like. 

After putting this outfit together I thought it looked more like a night out outfit rather than what you would wear to a casual evening meal. So to make it look less like a night out look, I used these brown wedges and handbag. OMG! these wadges are heavenly!!! I don't know whether you would believe me if I tell you these are the first pair of wedges I own! But I have been on the look out for a pair for absolutely ages, but the massive heel on most of the wedges give me the shivers!! I mean come-on you have to be practical. There is no way I am going to wear a 6 inch wedge and not fall off and break my face.  But not with these, as they are so easy to wear. They are from Primark and only £16!!! They are so comfortable. You don't even feel them on your feet. No cut's, bruises or limping with these shoes. They are quite a recent purchase so head to primark if your after a pair (they also do them in black)
