Thank you to every one who has already sent in their questions, today I am going to answer one of my favourites. So without further ado, I shall hand y'all over to...
Hannah via e-mail.
Q: I saw your 'ask MB' post and I thought, hey I need some help!! I've got a hot pink and white stripy sleeveless shirt which I love but don't know what to wear with it!! I guess jeans are the obvious choice but I can't bear to put any on! Have you any helpful suggestions for me!? Xxxx
A: Hey Hannah, thanks so much for sending in your query. I for one am a BIG fan of a shirt in the Summer, sleeveless or not, and the good news is that there are plenty of things you can pair yours with aside from jeans. I tried to find a shirt which matched your description, this white version from American Apparel seemed pretty similar - we will just have to imagine the
hot pink stripes ; )!!
hot pink stripes ; )!!
A little visual aid : )!!
This type of shirt lends itself well to being tucked into a full skirt. It plays on the cute 1950's style of your top and can be worn with heels or plimsols. I'd advise either a perfectly matching skirt (1.) like this hot pink number from Very.co.uk - a steal at £18! Or go for a print clash with some great tribal print shorts (2.) (one of my Summer faves!) these gently flared shorts from BHS are another bargain at £20 and will keep you cool.
If shorts and skirts don't tickle your fancy, why not try a cute denim dress as an accompaniment? I like the idea of either wearing your shirt underneath - à la Alexa Chung (that girl knows all the tricks ; )!) or unbuttoning your shirt and wearing it open and over. This little ASOS dress (3.) is A-dorable! I think I may just have to get it myself!
I hope that answers your question Hannah! Feel free to give me a shout if you want to chat some more and please do let me know how you get on!
SO my lovely readers, do you have any style queries which are bugging you? Any events you are going to soon which need an outfit which is just so?! A hot hot date perhaps?! Or a Wedding? Festival?
Ask away about anything and everything!
Send me your questions to monicabeatrice.theelginavenue@hotmail.co.uk and I will always do my best to come to your fashion aid!
Now if you will excuse me, I am going to go and see if I can wriggle myself in to my gorgeous new pair of polka dot Paige Jeans...here's hoping!!
Have a lovely afternoon all!
Love,

Hey Monica, having some trouble findings outfits for my annual summer holiday to Juan Les Pins. Was thinking of rocking of the beige chino, linen shirt, rayban clubman look if you know what i mean. However I'm really struggling with footwear.. espadrilles were the look of last summer, and although flippy flops are a staple part of any man's wardrobe, im thinking of something more innovative. I'm a shepherd - not a sheep.
