Outfit Of The Day - Birthday Celebrations

Hey guys,

so I got my new laptop which i'm very excited about (I was sharing my boyfriends and my photos and music were on my dads laptop) so now I have my own, i'm just waiting to transfer my photos over then everything will be in one place. I can take photos on my camera and upload them straight away onto Blogger =)

So yesterday was my friends birthday celebrations. We went for a meal and for a few drinks afterwards. We had such a good time and I always laugh from start to finish with this group. I thought it was the perfect opportunity to show you my outfit of the day.

 

It was a smart casual look. I have dark blue skinny jeans, with black wedge boots. A black silk strappy top, teamed with a black blazer. I don't normally go all dark but I thought the outfit looks classic and elegant and was very comfortable.

 

 

I went with a gold theme for my accessories to lift the dark colours of my outfit. Again they were very simple but they were effective proving that you can wear a very simple outfit and it look on trend and elegant. Of course I had my beloved Michael Kors handbag with me. I bought this as a birthday treat to myself and I absolutely love it.

My hair was second day hair. I'd had it tied back in a bobble all day at work and then I took the bobble out my hair was lovely and wavy so I thought while I had the volume I would curl it. I used the babylis curling wand. Its a 1inch barrel. It was really quick as I didn't have much time to get ready. I randomly picked pieces of hair that were straighter and curled them. I tipped my head upside down and fluffed it and then volume spray and hairsprayed it.

For my make up I used the Naked three pallet to do a soft pink smokey eye. I applied MAC gel eyeliner thinly to my lash line ontop, used Maybeline Falsies mascara and lined my waterline with a Lancôme khol eyeliner. My skin was Estee Lauder double wear with MAC studio fix concealer, clarins bronxer to contour and MAC Melba blush. I used a Clarins lipstick and clarins gloss to finish off with a soft pink lip look. Eyebrows are filled in using the HD pallet Foxy.

All in all a very simple look that took around an hour and 20 from start to finish. Very comfortable, it looks dressy without being too much. I got a lot of comments saying how lovely I looked which is really nice and makes the effort worth it.

I hope you enjoyed this post and it gives you some inspiration for looks you can re-create at home. Here are a couple of photos from the evening. Hope you had a nice weekend too
