I had to resist the temptation to wear a bright red scarf or shoes, just to add a pop of colour: they were saved for another day's challenge. However I couldn't resist adding a simple gold necklace and bracelet to give a bit of glitter to my look!
I wore this look for a trip to the city of Murcia, to collect my camera from the photographic department of El Corte Ingles. The weather forecast was for sunshine and a high of 28C, so I wanted a comfortable and cool outfit for the bus trip followed by walking the city streets. My verdict was that the outfit worked well, I think the colours were flattering, however I am still likely to add a touch of red the next time that I wear this!
Hi again sue, You and I must work on the same time schedule! I think it was just yesterday that I commented on your post. Maybe I am supposed to learn about style ;-) Your posts will help.
ReplyDeleteI have been told that blue looks good on me and is also a traditional business color. I tend to wear lots of blue. Monochromatic as you say. I am going to a major launch event in Dallas, Texas this weekend, and I just bought another pair of navy blue pants and a patterned blue and white shirt -- mostly blue. Thanks for your suggestions.
Buddy, I am far from being a style guru! I think you make an important point though, as many people (especially women) go for black as a "safe" business colour. Black doesn't suit that many people, especially when they are over 60. You need to find your own version of black: in your case, it is obviously blue!
ReplyDeleteI'd say go for it - add the dash of red!
ReplyDelete28 degrees? Wow, so warm! I love your photos and the excitement and passion in your voice, Sue... keep up the good work!
Susan, in my next post I will have my own way and add my dash of red! Thank you for your encouraging comments.
ReplyDeleteThe forecast for the next few days looks promising too: the joys of living in Spain!
