Outfit Post 13/3/13

So today was my niece's confirmation today,which of course meant I had to wear something nice. Couldn't stroll up to the church in my pj's after all. So I decided to wear this.... apologies for the dodgy "selfie" pictures but I simply don't have a blog photographer so I think I'm going to have to learn to master the "selfie". I like to think of it as the inception of photography..a picture within a picture.




I decided to wear a wine coloured pencil skirt form Dorothy Perkins with a cream top that I bought in Penneys during the January sales for €5, bargain! It's really a casual tshirt type top but I'm a firm believer that any item of clothing can be dressed up or down depending on what you wear it with. Due to the fact that it was fa-ree-zing I had to wear black tights,I simply had to. I also had to go with closed toe shoes so I wore my black shoe boots from Dorothy Perkins that I also wore in this post. My bag is also from Penney's,again bought in the January sales for a whopping €3.
I wore a ring from New Look and a mixture of some bangles from Dorothy Perkins and Penneys.

 Because it was so cold (did I mention it was fa-reee-zing?) I,of course,wore a coat. I've had this coat for years,I bought it in Dunnes and it has been such a good investment,I've gotten so much wear out of it.

I decided to go for a pretty natural makeup look,nothing too exciting and recently I've been thinking about getting a new hairstyle so I'm trying to grow my side fringe out(nightmare). Today I parted it down the middle and put some waves in. Is the middle parting a style I should consider? I think I'm kind of liking it. All opinions welcome!

Hope everyone's well

Birthday weekend!

So, Monday was my birthday which meant,naturally, I had to out and celebrate over the weekend.

On Saturday I went out for the night with some friends and decided to wear a black lace dress from Dorothy Perkins.I discovered that I really really like this dress! I like having sleeves and the length was great as I could wear the dress without tights and not feel self conscious (I hate my legs!).I wore a pair of red shoe boots that I bought during the summer in London in a shop that, for the life of me, I cannot remember the name of. Naturally being out and having one or two drinks I never got around to taking a proper outfit pic (blogger fail I know but I'm new at this) but this pic gives an idea of the outfit.
 And this one shows the sleeves ..and me blowing out my flameless birthday candle..as you do.
 Shoes!


On Sunday night I went see Mick Flannery perform an acoustic show with a friend. Who's he? I asked the same question. It turns out he's a guy with the most beautiful voice! YouTube him! I wore a black & white playsuit that found in Penney's..on sale. It cost a whopping 7 euro #Bargain! I also wore a black blazer from Oasis that I've had for a few years and a pair of shoe boots (obsessed with shoe boots much?) from Dorothy Perkins. Please ignore the weird look on my face in the following pic, I really must learn how to pose.
And,of course, the shoes



Hope everyone had a good weekend xx
