I went for an evening out to a used designer clothing sale at a pub, which gave me an excuse to don some heels instead of my usual flats for the school run. I purchased these burgandy suede knee highs from New Look last Christmas. Being heavily pregnant, I was insistent on buying them even if I wasn't going to wear them for a while. Why was I so insistent - because they were £20 (and real suede!). Love them! They spruce up an outfit instantly. Throw in my trusty (and also not worn so much due to the kiddies) McQueen scarf and a dash of perfume and I felt effortlessly chic and comfortable. A little tip, if off to a clothing event/shopping, wear a vest or cami under your jumper. If changing room queues are horrendous, you can whip off your jumper and at the least try on some tops.
Next I bring you my Gap jeans from my last post. Now honestly, this outfit looked better in the flesh! I teamed them with my H&M black vest top seen in this post and then woke it up a bit more with this fab yellow necklace, £2 from Primark. The shoes are old Kurt Geiger. This was a meal out outfit for my friends birthday, warm legs and a roomier top to accommodate some food, job done!

You look really slim and very chic. It's nice to get the opportunity to dress up. The posing is very hard - hats off to those who manage to take a picture of themselves and still look relatively normal. I have noticed that I always squint (old age probably) as I try to focus on what I am taking and so consequently look a bit demented. I could never do the blogger stare that some do so well - I always end up laughing as soon as anyone points a camera at me. I can't believe you got Timberland snow boots for £17! Bargain!
ReplyDeleteAh thank you - it's the black that does it! My eyes are normally shut, so at least they are open!
ReplyDeleteI know, serious bargain hey! I do love my bargain hunting! x
LOVE those boots - I wish I was your size. I'd come round and steal them xxx
