This is a bit of an unusual post for me as I never ever do outfit posts, and my blog is nothing to do with fashion let's be honest, but I was so pleased with my outfit and getting the chance to properly dress up that I thought I'd share it with you! This weekend I attended a friend's wedding as Nick's plus one. Nick was an usher so I felt it gave me more of an excuse to dress myself up. It also explains why I've been so quiet the last few days as I've been busy enjoying weddings ;)
So here is my bargain outfit. And when I say bargain, I mean a total steal. Only working in a shop, trying to save for a house and trying to save for a car takes its toll on my bank account and I was worried I wouldn't be able to afford anything nice to wear for the wedding *cue tiny violin* but this lovely peachy coloured dress caught my eye in New Look and it was in the sale! I never ever wear anything fitted but this dress was quite flattering for my body shape so I think it was fate that this happened to be on the clothes rack when it was - I've tried spotting it in other stores and I can't see it anywhere!
Bargain shoes were brought to you courtesy of Selfridges. And when I say Selfridges, I mean the Primark concession at Selfridges haha! I was a bit shocked to see these shoes in Primark to be fair... I'm not really a huge fan of their shoe ranges but these white, high-heeled sandals were perfect for my outfit and they were really comfortable for most of the day. In fact I managed to keep them on all day, 12pm - 11pm, and it was only in the last hour or so they began to hurt.
Finally, my beaded clutch bag was from New Look again. This was the most expensive thing I wore on the day haha! I was worried it would be too busy with my dress but it looked nice on the day and it made up for the fact I'd forgotten to buy any jewellery to go with my outfit!
What do you think of my bargain outfit then?! I'm pretty chuffed if I say so myself. It's so much fun to dress up for such a beautiful occasion as a wedding :)
That dress is absolutely gorgeous. I love weddings but they can be so expensive to dress for!

Thank you! I was so glad I found this dress, it was perfect xxx
DeleteYou look gorgeous hun, and I love your dress :) Yay for a sale purchase and it is very flattering :) You can never beat a heel that you wear all night, I have some from New Look that are just like that :) I may be tempted to see if Primark have those heels though as I have a wedding next month and need some light heels :)

Aw thanks lovely :) The Primark heels are possibly my favourite shoes ever now! I was a bit of a Primark shoe snob but now I'm totally converted haha! xxx
DeleteYou look gorgeous hun
ReplyDeleteI shot a wedding at this place in May of last year and the couple was thrilled! They had the ceremony out on the patio then came inside to a long-table format reception which was perfect. The cake table at wedding venues here was backed by some stunning views.
