Saturday Drinks - OOTD

Whilst I love nights out throughout the year, I especially love not having to worry about carrying a jacket or chilly feet. So for a night of  sipping cocktails dancing I decided to go all out & show my *extremely pale* legs for the first time in months with a skater dress & wedges combination. 

Dress: Boohoo - £15.00 [x]

Shoes - New Look - £25.00 

Choker - New Look - £5.00 

Hair: Styled With Babyliss Curling Wand - £25.00 [x]

(unfortunately the shoes & choker similar linked are no longer

available, however I have linked similar items above)

As I've mentioned in previous posts, skater dresses are my favourite style for both nights out & day-to-day wear as they are perfect for hiding any pesky lumps & bumps around the stomach area. I'm also currently loving the throwback to my childhood during the 90's with chokers. In my opinion they offer a great alternative to regular necklaces & are a pretty way of a little extra something to an outfit. 

What trends are you currently loving for nights out?

I'd love to know.

Friday Night Drinks

This Friday marked one of my best friend's birthdays & a night out sipping cocktails. As most of my outfits usually consist of either gym or work-ware, a night out finally provided a perfect opportunity to make a little extra effort & glam myself up.

Dress: Boohoo - £10.00 [x]

Boots: Lily Lulu Fashion - £25.00 [x]

Lipstick: Model Co's shade Smitten - £17.00 [x]

Hair Styling: Babyliss Curling Wand - £25.00 [x]

The main element of this outfit is a pair of over-the-knee boots from Lily Lulu made from faux suede material with a chunky heel/platform sole. Not only do I find these boots stunning. they're a perfect alternative to normal heels or wedges.  As these boots are quite a statement item, I chose to pair them with a simple black skater dress, something I find perfect for covering any lumps/bumps (especially after a week of eating Easter Eggs!).

When it came to styling my hair for the evening I opted for a lose wave/curl - to achieve this I loosely wrapped sections of hair around my trusty Babyliss curling wand. I find myself reaching for this styling tool most days as it's quick & easy to create a range of looks from loose waves (like above) or a defined ringlets depending on how tightly the hair is wrapped around the barrel. 

Finally to add a pop of colour to my look, I used a Model Co lipstick in the shade "smitten". This is a deep red shade that I think looks gorgeous paired with a simple black outfit. Before heading out the door I also threw on my faux leather jacket (spring time is still chilly here in the UK) & a small clutch-style bags containing my essentials for the evening. 

As much as I  love wearing over-sized jumpers & leggings, there's nothing better than twirling around in a little dress.. so I'll definitely be on the look out for more opportunities to dress myself up soon! 

What are your thoughts 

on this look?
