Saturday Outfit Inspo

The Races

Finally, I have the pictures from the races to share with you. The dress I am wearing is from Zara. I decided on this dress mainly due to the colour and the cut around the arms, which is the same front and back. Although I tend not to stick to rules when it comes to what you should, and shouldn't wear, because this was a more formal event I thought I would wear a higher neckline. To accessorize, I wore just a simple necklace, gold watch and my Raybans. The clutch is also from Zara, I chose this to add some contrast in colour and texture with bright yellow and snakeskin. Finally, my shoes are simple black heels from Kurt Geiger. I decided against a hat for two reasons; 1. I didn't want to wear a hat (probably the best reason) and 2. It wasn't ladies day, so you aren't technically obliged to wear one. I feel very grown up in this outfit and it made me feel very womanly as it created curves with the cut. When I bought the dress I was a bit saddened by the fact that there is going to be very few places I will be able to wear it. However, due to the cut I think I'm going to try and style it with a military jacket and some ankle boots and see if that works (I will keep you posted). I'm going to the new Leeds Topshop tomorrow to visit their new flagship store... god help my bank balance :P.
P.S The girl in the pictures with me is one of my besties, Stacey, her dress is from Topshop and comes in loads of colours. I think the colour she has chosen looks amazing with her red hair. 
Enjoy you weekends and the pics.

Night to Day

As far as I am aware, most of my girlfriends, including myself, will have at least one dress in there wardrobe that will only come out to play on an evening. In my opinion it is a shame and also quite a waste of wardrobe space. So why don’t we utilise these pieces in our wardrobe?
 Maybe it’s the way the dresses are marketed towards evening wear in shops and magazines, or maybe some people believe that if you wear an evening dress during the day its to ‘dressy.’
Don’t miss judge this blog. Some dresses you own may not be appropriate for daytime wear, but im sure you can use your common sense and work out the ball gown you own probably wont do for a trip to the market!
So, I have decided to see if it is possible to wear one of my dresses that I would class as 'evening wear', during the day and where better to start than with the LBD. This is probably one of the easiest dresses to wear during the day. Firstly, I teamed my dress with a casual oversized cream cardigan, a brown belt to break up the black and then my favourite ankle boots. I added simple accessories; such as my brown bag  and necklaces (See pics). I decided to use a lot of brown tones in this outfit as it is a casual colour.
I think the key thing to remember is; if your going to try it out, keep things simple. Try adding a simple leather jacket, that always seems to work, or even adding tights.
Honestly, I would recommend you try wearing an evening dress during the day. What do you think?
