I find there is something very comforting in wearing day dresses in the evening, almost as if it still allowed me to be completely myself. Being under dressed makes me feel good. It means I can dance and prance and do everything I want without fearing for my boob tube bodycon dress to fall down, for my chiffon skirt to catch on fire or other dangers of the party dress.
This is the outfit I wore to go to Simon Henwood's book launch, at Vanilla (they have white damask drapes there *shivers*) and it felt pretty good to be keeping it simple, especially when a man walked by with what seemed to be a toilet on his head.
Jacket - some crappy internet shop or the other
Dress - Vintage
Belt - Very old H&M
Tights - ASOS
Shoes - New Look (I ended up wearing my very high black ones instead)
Brooch - Marc Jacobs
Hat - Pretty Good Things
What do you normally wear when you go out? Evening or day wear?

as always, gorgeous! xx
ReplyDeleteI normally just wear a smart dress with high heels - it's amazing how much smarter a pair of heels can make me feel! Girls in Liverpool are renowned for getting overdressed (lots of make up, short skirts, fake tan, lots of bling) so I do tend to feel underdressed compared to them! But then students at my uni from down south seem to just wear jeans all the time, which makes me feel overdressed!
ReplyDeleteI really love those tights and that hat.
You look ridiculously adorable! I usually go for vintage dresses - day or night x
ReplyDeleteyou look so cute in this outfit! i love your tights, i really want them!
ReplyDeleteI found my dead stock mary quant floral footless tights yesterday and they look great but a bit '90s. Your's are so much more dainty. Like Molly Ringwald's in Pretty in Pink when she is getting dressed at the start of the film!
I tend to wear 'day wear' when I go out but it's normally a combination of black jersey pieces, biker boots and a leather jacket. Not very inspiring!

I am exactly the same - day dresses in the evening. I always look at fabulous vintage gowns but never buy for two reasons, the long ones are never long enough, and they would all need dry cleaning. I don't believe in dry cleaning! So I just have a vast array of cute cotton dresses that I can wear with higher heels, stronger makeup or beaded cardigans or something.
ReplyDeleteYou look fabulous!
I think pink and blue is a great color combo!...for girls I mean ;)
ReplyDeletei love your outfit!
ReplyDeletei normally don't dress up but this is inspiring and you make it sound so easy
This is awesome! I have to admit I go over the top every time for evening wear. I usually wear some kind of corseted top with a massive frilly or floaty skirt plus a faux fur stole that I got from Primark for a tenner. Somehow it works! If it's okay, I'm going to add you to my blog roll because I think my readers would love your posts too.
