But yeah before I got all kinds of drunk on Monday I managed to take a few photos of the night's outfit so here we go...
I love how simple this outfit is, yet how perfect it is for a Monday night out. I don't love how my black jeans seem to have attracted every white bit of fluff and dust in the vicinity, but hey ho.
So the details:
Jeans- Black 1969 Skinny Regulars from GAP- £49.95 (I paid £35.01 because they were doing 30% off if you tried on any pair of jeans!!)
Top- very old plain black top from GEORGE at ASDA. I think this cost about £4.
Kimono- I love a good blousey kimono top and I found this one in the Warehouse sale for £8!
Shoes- Croc patterned black strappy courts from New Look- £24.99
I have this issue with shoes where I need an ankle strap or they just slip right off my feet, I know that sounds silly and I should just buy my size BUT a 3 is always too small, and a 4 requires a strap. So when I found these I had to have them, and they are so pretty, and go with absolutely everything.
I am also a huge fan of black jeans, but my favourite pair are having an argument with my ever expanding waistline at the moment, so I had to purchase these new ones. They are very long for a regular though, considering I have stupidly long legs for a short person, I've never had this problem before, but rather than walk away from these otherwise perfect jeans, I just utilised the turn up :-).
I also just have to say that if you are looking for a comfortable, yet still stylish, pair of good-quality jeans then you can't go wrong with GAP, I have three different pairs from their 1969 range and love them all.
Right you might have also noticed that I seem to have quite a lot more makeup on than usual- I am making an effort to use all the stuff that clutters up my bathroom. For this particular night out I am wearing:
BY TERRY- Bronze Generation eyeliner
Benefit- Roller Lash Mascara
Benefit- Face Powder in Dandelion
Benefit- High Beam Highlighter
MAC- Pro Longwear Lip Liner in Nice 'n' Spicy
Collection 2000- Lipstick in Peachy Keen.
and
Bare Minerals- Marvellous Moxie Lipgloss in Hypnotist
Anyway,, I love this outfit, I felt comfortable all night, and the minute I arrived at the darts I was asked how I knew we were having a proper night out. I took this to mean that I looked like I had made an effort lol.
