Does Fun and Frivolity Mean Fashion Faux Pas?!

Ok, so the wonderful Pay Day arrived last week and what better way to celebrate a Bank Holiday weekend than to spend it on fun things to wear and put on my face?

A wardrobe beast/fashion dilemma hit early on in the weekend. On Sunday night I was due to attend a 30th birthday party at Weston-Super-Mare pier. The earlier part of the evening was to be dedicated to the funfair rides, and the latter part to a great big party in the function room. So, did I sacrifice my party look for maximum funfair frivolity, or did I sacrifice my dignity in a glam little black number?..

...Anyone who knows me will know which option I chose, and party chic won out in true and typical style.

So, on Saturday morning I took myself up to The Mall at Cribbs Causeway to desperate try and find a suitably glam outfit. Luck was on my side and I rapidly managed to snap up a gorgeous nude camisole with beaded embellishment from Miss Selfridge (£45). Paired with my trusty black Topshop body con skirt, I was good to go. As a tip, if (like me) you don't like wearing skirts that are a little on the short side, opt for one from the Tall range as it will come up a little longer. One pair of Eylure lashes and some new velcro rollers later and I was set and ready for Sunday evening. Naturally, I looked totally ridiculous tottering around in the Crazy House but, hey, at least nobody could see up my skirt - body con = oddly dignified and concealing of underwear:




My friend Jen also looked hot to trot in the Twiggie skater dress in 'wine' from online retailer Missguided (a bargain at £25.99)



Another purchase of the weekend was a gorgeous dress for an upcoming night out in London with the ladies. At £60 from River Island it was a steal, and it's grecian draping and cute gold waist belt will match perfectly with my chunky gold watch, earrings and muted gold Topshop stilettos.

On another fashion note, I am pleased to say that I ordered my wedding dress this weekend! I have also chosen my wedding shoes (Louboutins, natch). Of course, I would usually share details but the other half may be reading...For someone who 'claims' to not like anything girl-related, it's funny how I catch him reading both this and my copies of OK magazine occasonally...!
