#OOTD - Monochrome

I've started to see the classic Monochrome trend popping up on fellow bloggers outfit style posts, it's a pretty easy trend to get involved in as I have plenty of white & black shirts with stripes, dots or even something more plain hanging around in my wardrobe. 
I have a few wardrobe rules and one of them is not to throw away stripes, they always come back in fashion usually Spring time...so this old black and white striped shirt was definitely one to revive for S/S 2013.
 


 
 
 
Striped Shirt - New Look
Cardigan - Charity Shop
Scarf - Charity Shop
Creepers - Garage Shoes Online
Sunglasses - ASOS
Necklace - Carboot
Quilted Bag - Charity Shop
 
Bit of a thrifted outfit here but as you know I do love a bargain. 
I am back to work tomorrow and feeling so much better, still not 100%, but better. 
I can finally look forward to a weekend and a routine again, bring on the booze.
 
 
Some of my Monochrome inspired catwalk favourites
 
Celine, Jean Paul Gaultier and Lanvin Monochrome SS13
Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Chloe Cropped jackets SS13
 
Balmain, Christian Dior and Issey Miyake Check and Stripes SS13

 

Lots of Love
