blouse: HQ
belt: peacocks
necklace: rock 'n rose*
Really losing touch with my camera 'skills' as of late, every outfit post I attempt looks awful! Think I managed to salvage this one, god bless RAW format is all I can say. Thought I would show what I wore to the LOOK Beauty earlier in the week. Louise mentioned in her post about the night and I received a bucket load of compliments so.. yeah!
Before you freak out that I hacked the sleeves off, don't worry! I received this gorgeous tutu dress from LOVE the day of the event and fell in love with it. The only problem was (and is!) that my arms aren't my favourite part and I would be all the more self-concious at an event where there are a lot of cameras! Thankfully I remembered this little gem of a blouse (wearing it in this post) and popped it underneath. It is a little bit tight on my arms and the collar kept threatening to resurface but it did a good job and loads of people asked me where it was from.
Obviously with a bit of fake tan and some toning up, I would be more daring to bear some extra skin, but for the time being I am happy with this half-DIY! Also loving this little necklace I was sent from Rock 'N Rose.. got a couple of other things to show soon as well. What are your plans for the night? My boyfriend is on his way for takeout pizza and X Factor! You can't say we don't live on the wild side. Goodbye recent healthy eating, don't know if I'll miss you.
PS. Wearing some nails I won in Milly's giveaway, so nice! Let me know if you want to see anything else from it!
