On Monday one of my oldest friends had her leaving meal. I hadn't spoken to her in about oooh say 6 months? until I had a mail on Facebook in June inviting me to a meal with about 20 other people. Only 15 of us came in the end though due to people being on holiday and what not. I was a bit worried about it at first but ended up having loads of fun and catching up with people I hadn't spoken to since school finished.
We had been pretty good friends since we were 3 and have always been in school together until we had this argument in Decemeber and didn't speak until now. As you can imagine I was pretty shocked to find out that she was moving to England to go to a musical theatre college. Although, It was my stubborness that stopped us speaking, I will miss her and do hope she enjoys it and what not. Anyway, enough with the life story, on to the outfit...
I decided to go with this smart-casual (smasual?) outfit as I wasn't sure what the dress code was.
Sorry for the rubbish in the background, the smudgey mirror and the overall pretty bad photo haha but it's the only one I managed to take
If you can't tell from the picture, I basically wore black leggings, a white vest top and a wrap around turquoise/teal patterned top.
I wore it with these wedges
and this leather look jacket
Sorry I didn't get a photo of me wearing the jacket and shoes either.
Leggings - Moda at Asda
Vest Top - F&F at Tesco
Wrap Around Top - Weird Fish
Wedges - New Look
Jacket - New Look
I found the wrap around top in a village/town near to where I live. Now I don't normally go for Weird Fish as a brand as I find they're quite over priced but me and my mum had gone into a surf type shop looking for a back to school bag(weren't any - boo!) and came across this in the sale. I believe it was about £12 which isn't that bad and was in a size smaller than I normally get so I was pretty chuffed that it fitted nicely. I saw this as the perfect time to wear it!
The wedges I also found in a sale in my local New Look for £6! Thought they were a bargain as I have big feet and find it hard to find shoes that fit. However, these were the tiniest bit too small for me so at the end of the meal when I stood up to go outside, my feet were in agony! Hopefully they will stretch though haha!
This jacket is this seasons stock at New Look and is £39.99 and can be found here. You can also get it in burgandy and brown. I wouldn't normally pay that much for a jacket but my mum bought it as a present to me for helping her at work with admin stuff and I had been lusting over a leather jacket for ages! I would wear an outfit and think the only thing missing was a leather jacket. Anyone else get that? I obviously wouldn't get real leather but this feels pretty much like leather and as strong as leather so hopefully will last me a while. The fact that people's leather jackets seem to last ages justified letting my mum pay that it in my head haha. Also, I had at least 3 people at the meal say they like it or it looked nice.
Here's a picture of me and 2 of my girlies.
Hopefully you can see the top a bit better in this even if it is black and white. I wore my everday makeup with my 'speacial occasion' foundation haha. Basically my more expensive foundation that I got from Sephora so isn't easily accessible. Also, I had my hair natural with a few bits, that had to decided to go straight, curled. I put in some Tigi Love, Peace&The Planet Totally Beachin' Coconut Mango Vanilla Body&Waves Styling Mist(mouthful!) to give it more texture and make it more 'poofy'.
