Festive Party Outfit | Day to Night

Hi everyone,

I wanted to do some festive outfits of the day and I came up with an outfit that I thought could look great for both day time and night time when paired with different accessories. It features a nice dark red dress with a floral pattern that my mum got from Primark last year as part of my Christmas present. It's made out of quite a thick material which makes it great for cold weather. I love the colour of it as it is quite festive and winter appropriate. I think this may be my first outfit blogpost ever to not feature something from H&M!

Day:

Dress - Primark

Jumper - Primark

Tights - Primark

Boots - Siemes Schuhcenter

Hat - New Look

For the day time outfit, I paired the dress with a black jumper with a sparkly rhinestone detailing which is also from Primark. It's really cosy and I thought the rhinestones made the outfit slightly more special. I chose not to add any more accessories as I didn't want to overpower all of the details on the jumper and the dress. I left my hair down and added my New Look bobble hat because it matched the dress. I chose to wear my simple black boots because they have a flat heel which means they are ideal for being comfortable throughout the day.

Night:

Dress - Primark

Cardigan - C&A

Tights - Primark

Wedge Heels - Chaussea

For the night time party outfit, I swapped my jumper for a similar black cardigan from C&A, again with rhinestones. I didn't want cover up the neckline of the dress too much which is why I chose the cardigan. I put on my black wedges from Chaussea to give me some height and to jazz up the outfit. Heels are great for turning a day time outfit into a night time outfit. I felt that for a party I would prefer to have my hair up as opposed to down so I clipped it back into a bun. Once again I avoided jewellery because I felt the cardigan took care of the sparkle, but feel free to add more sparkly things since it is the season for that! 

Big thank you to my brother Joe for being my photographer, since my usual one (my boyfriend) was at work (which explains the many outtake photos). It takes a lot of patience putting up with me, especially when Far Cry 4 is calling (amazing game by the way!).

I hope you enjoy this slightly different outfit post! 

Dip Hem Maxi Dress

Dress - C&A

Necklace - H&M

Earrings - Next

Watch - DKNY

Wedges - Chaussea

This is the outfit I wore for my sister's graduation dinner. It was quite a stuffy, warm day so I wanted something light to wear. My mum actually bought this dress from C&A last year but ended up giving it to me. It's a maxi dress, but has a dip hem, meaning the front is shorter than the back. It came with a necklace included but I didn't really like it so I took it off. Instead I chose to wear my new H&M rose gold chain necklace, which I love. It's a really nice addition to any outfit and ties the outfit together nicely. I also wore my Next earrings that went well with the necklace and my DKNY rose gold watch. I feel like this is such an easy outfit but the accessories really make it look a lot nicer and make it seem like I made more of an effort.

Top - H&M

Trousers - H&M

Earrings - H&M

Bracelets - Stradivarius and random

Watch - DKNY

Wedges - Chaussea

Lipstick - MAC Girl About Town

I went to H&M, what a surprise! But to be fair, it is one of the best shops for affordable yet nice clothes here in Luxembourg. I spotted these trousers and just had to have them. I love loose fabric trousers for those not overly hot summer days and these were perfect. And also they aren't completely black, which is different for once since most of my trousers and leggings tend to be black. I paired them with a hot pink vest top which I found among the sale items, also in H&M. I really like how the pink breaks up the monochrome pattern. I decided to keep all of my jewellery plain gold/rose gold and used MAC's Girl About Town lipstick, as it went nicely with the top. I feel like the wedges make this outfit more night out appropriate and flats would make it a more casual, comfortable day time outfit. 

Hope you all had a great weekend! 

Rainy Day

Jumper - H&M

Leggings - Asos

Rain coat - Asos

Wedges - Chaussea

Bracelets - Stradivarius

Scarf - Stradivarius

Bag - C&A 

Umbrella - H&M

It's the fourth day of June and all we get is rain! My boyfriend was lucky enough to go away on a short trip to Lisbon and was able to spend some time on a beach, since the weather was so lovely. Jealousy doesn't even begin to describe it! But he did surprise me by coming back bearing gifts and I couldn't wait to try them all on. He got me a lovely set of bracelets, my favourites being the gold spikey one and the grey and gold feather one. He also bought me a gorgeous navy blue, lightweight scarf with white hearts on it. 

My wedges weren't exactly weather appropriate but to be honest I was too lazy to go and change them and I hardly ever wear them. They aren't the most comfortable pair of wedges I own, but I love how they look.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find any links for the jumper, coat and wedges because I bought them a few months ago.

It's become a new tradition of mine to have more fail outfit photos than actual decent ones, but I like to include them because sometimes they are just to funny.

Hope you are having a great week!
