OOTD Family Day Out | Blogmass 2016

Hello, Lovely People !

Welcome to my third and final OOTD post in this Blogmass series, I really hope you've enjoyed reading these OOTD posts as much as I've enjoyed putting them together ( which is a whole lot more than I expected ). Today's outfit is perfect for feeling cozy but casual on a family day out. Perhaps a trip to see Santa or a last minute shopping trip when the weather's getting a Lil bit chilly! As with all of my OOTD posts, photography credits go to my beautiful girlfriend who's photography facebook page you can find here, I know she'd love your support ! Right then, let's get snuggly !

The Outfit 

I was delighted when I found this deep burnt orange knitted jumper for a bargain price of only £16 in ASDA ! I honestly feel like this gorgeous off the shoulder jumper captures Autumn in a single color.  I wore this jumper with black jeans but I also feel it would look great with blue jeans for a slightly more casual look. I thought simple but classic black lace-up boots would be the best choice with this outfit. They have a small wedge heel to give me that extra bit of height without the aching feet if I'm out for the whole day!

Makeup 

I straightened my hair and left it down for a quick simple hair do. I wanted to keep my look casual and easy so I went for a neutral pale brown smokey eyeshadow and a light pink lipgloss from The Natural Collection called 'Caramel Shortcake'.

Are you going on any fun day trips in the lead up to Christmas ? Have you paid Santa a visit yet ? What will you be wearing on family days out ? I'd love to hear all about it in the comments !

OOTD Winter Date | Blogmass 2016

Hello, Lovely People ! 

Today I'm back again with another OOTD post ! I hope you liked my first attempt ( you can find it here if you missed it ) where I shared with you, my ideal outfit for the Christmas do at work. Today I've put together an outfit for a lovely winter date. This outfit would be great for any sort of date from a dinner date to a cinema date. Once again I'd like to thank my gorgeous girlfriend for the photography in this post, if you like her work then she also does weddings and photography work focusing on mental health issues. She's just starting out and I know she'd appreciate your support, you can find her facebook page here if you'd like to have a quick look ! Anyway, on with my OOTD !

The Outfit 

For this winter date, I chose this lovely lacey white top ( From NewLook ) because I absolutely love the delicate design. It's ideal for winter because it looks great with both a big fluffy coat for those colder winter evenings and a leather jacket for a cooler daytime look. I wore it with some lovely second-hand black boots ( a staple over the Christmas period , they keep your feet dry AND look great ! What's not to love? ) and simple black leggings.

 

Makeup and Other Sparkly Things ! 

For my makeup, I used Benefits 'World Famous Neutrals' palette which is my go to palette all year round when I want to feel a Lil bit special ! I also used a cheery pink blusher ( from body shop ) to brighten up the look and a Rimmel lipstick in the shade ' A drop of sherry' which is perfect for the festive season .

What do you think of this outfit ? Have you got a 'go to' date outfit ?Are you enjoying these OOTD posts ? I'd love to hear your feedback in the comments because I'm pretty new to this style of posts but I really enjoyed writing them !

OOTD The Christmas Do | Blogmas 2016

Hello, Lovely People !

If there's one time of year that you want to feel that bit extra sparkly then it's the Christmas Do at work ! It's the perfect time to dress up and show everyone how pretty you truly are. So I've put together my very first 'Outfit Of The Day ' post and I'm a little nervous because I've not done anything like this on my blog before but I plan to do three for the Christmas period over Blogmass. This look would also be perfect for Christmas day or any other Christmas parties so feel free to let me know what you think !

The Dress 

My dress was from Bravissimo Pepperberry. This is a lesser known brand but they're absolutely amazing. They make gorgeous clothes with room for boobs ! That way women with boobs that are bigger proportionately to our waists, can have lovely, fitted clothes as well. I'm not sponsored by them but I couldn't recommend them enough. It's the Jacquard dress. I love the emerald tones, I'm not sure why but I'm really into emerald greens at the minute !

Makeup and Other Sparkly Things 

For my makeup, I did a smokey eye using my ' Benefit - World Famous Neutrals ' and then a berry lip with Rimmel Londons ' A Drop of Sherry' . Meanwhile,  on my nails, I thought some sparkles wouldn't go amiss !

I really hope you liked this look ! I'd like to thank my gorgeous girlfriend for taking the time to do the photography for this post when she has lots of other important exams to do photography for. If you liked this post then there are two more OOTD posts for the Christmas season coming up including a family day out and an outfit for a festive date night!

What's your Christmas party outfit ? Let me know in the comments !
