OOTN - Wedding reception

I went to a family wedding on Sunday night, I haven’t done an outfit post in a while so I thought I would share this. Do let me know if you would like me to include more outfit posts generally.

I did originally ask earlier in the day on twitter for comments on if the outfit worked or not. I changed it up a little, and in the end I was pleased with how it looked. Did I make the right choice compared to how I started?



The dress was from Primark, as was the belt. It needs a belt otherwise it just looks very oversized and unflattering. (Also note to self, must be more aware of the sleeves when leaning over food!) I opted for the leopard print belt just to tie the colours of the dress and shoes/bag together. I showed these shoes previously in a haul right at the start of my blogging days and I love them! The platform makes them really comfortable to wear all night. I think I have mentioned before how much I love my clutch bag too. It is the perfect size and carries more than you would think, so I was glad to be able to match this up.

For my makeup I spent so much time on my eyes that I ended up doing the blush and lips as I did for Zoo Lates. No prizes for the right answer I’m afraid but can you guess what palette I used for my eyes? Be sure to check out my next post for a closer look!


Finally, just thought I would share the gift everyone got at the table. I thought this was a really cute and unusual container. Once I eat all the sweets this will become my new ring or earring pot!
