Outfit Post - Patterned Monochrome

When I bought my new Favourite Skirt in Matalan I also picked up this awesome Black and White one, it is high waisted too, so is really really long! I just loved the pattern so much, it is bold and striking even though it's only in black and white and it was only £16 I think, pretty good! For it's first outing I paired it with a simple black tee, black lace effect blouse and some black strappy sandals, figured I may as well keep the monochrome look going. We went to a Jazz Cafe/Bar for some drinks and Tapas for my Dad's birthday.

Skirt: Matalan

Vest Top: Matalan

Shirt: Bella Moda

Shoes: Marks and Spencers

Hairband: Claire's

Necklace: Vintage

Bangle: Gift from my Aunty Elaine from a craft fair

Watch: Vivienne Westwood

Ring: Dorothy Perkins

The pattern in all it's glory!

Had forgotten about my fork bangle, so thought it would go well with the outfit.

What do you think of the skirt? Anyone else really love monochrome looks?

I've decided to dedicate all this week to monochrome, so expect to see other bloggers takes on the monochrome look on Wednesday and lots of beautiful monochrome items from the high street you can buy on Friday!

Outfit Post - Mr Style #1

Well I have introduced you to my sister's style, now I thought I would introduce you to the hubby's style (or lack of style, hehe!) He is very much the casual/chilled sort of guy when it comes to his outfits, unless he is working - then its suit trousers, shirts and jackets. But here is an outfit post of his everyday style sporting his new birthday t-shirt! Sadly I got him this tee, featuring a Sailor Jerry's tattoo style, from a seller on eBay and when we washed it (via the instructions on the label) all the motif peeled off! Very annoying!! Luckily the seller refunded me when I emailed to tell her about it. But he got to wear it once for this picture before it died!
