OOTD: Harry's 21st

Me and Jacob.

This past Saturday night I celebrated my friend Harry's 21st birthday at The London Club in Teneriffe. 

The dress code was cocktail so I was excited to finally have something to dress up for! 

I'd just splashed some cash on this gorgeous Sara Phillips Iris Skirt that I'd been lusting after, for what felt like an eternity, since I first saw the fabulous Fabliha sporting it a few months back, so this seemed like the perfect occasion for it to make its debut. 

I wanted my freshly dyed hair and red lips to really stand out so I stuck to black and white, teaming it with a plain white button-up, my black pointed-toe heels from Yesstyle, and my new transparent Impressionist bag by Oliver.

Up until now, I had never been a fan of boleros, but daaaaamn, girl knows what's going on. 

Having fun with my girl Hattie who looked super fab in all black with a cheeky peek-a-boo.

I've been totally snowed in by uni work lately and Saturday night was a much needed break. Thankfully exams are almost over so hopefully i'll be able to get some more posts out soon. 

Until then...

Back to Basics

So lately I've been thinking my wardrobe needs a little taming. For a while now I've been a bit (okay, a lot) obsessed with items that are a touch wacky - crazy cuts, crazy prints, crazy colours. If people were staring, my outfit was a success.

But in all the craziness, things got kind of messy. There's nothing wrong with looking a little out-there, but making sure there's a certain level of polish to an outfit makes all the difference.

To that end, I went in search of sophisticated yet simple designs - clean lines, blacks, whites, basics. And this is what I found.

Black Leather Pointed Toe Heeled Sandals from YESSTYLE

White Mesh T-Shirt with PU Stripe from ASOS

Black Long-sleeve Striped Mesh Crop Top by Glamorous from ASOS

As much as a love a good print clash, sometimes you just need simple pieces to pair with those outrageous prints so they can really pop. I'm looking forward to seeing what new life these basics can breathe in to my wackier wardrobe veterans!
