so i thought i'd do a bit of a different outfit post. i bought this gold lion chain necklace from a vintage fair recently, and i'm in love with it. i decided to base my day and night outfit around this piece today, to see how it can look amazing with different looks :)
DAY OUTFIT

aannnndddd then i realised it was actually quite warm! underneath my jacket i was wearing a plain cream chiffon shirt, which i believe is from H&M. i accessorised the gold chain as a sort of choker underneath the collar, which i felt livened up the monocrome outfit, and also dressed it up a bit (even though i was only going to uni!). i rarely wear shirts, but i think i'm going to have to start investing in some more pretty ones like this as they feel so nice! i'm rocking my Topshop leggings (again), but they go so well with everything! i wore my black creepers with black frilly socks - which are only £1.50 in primark, so i suggest you stock up! :)
NIGHT OUTFIT

my favourite part of this shirt is the back. it's been cut and then sewn up to create a dipped back effect, which adds a level of individuality to the shirt and gives it that edge to allow it to be worn on a night out rather than just casually. i love the way it falls, and i don't think i've seen any other shirts out there like this. i think it'd be fairly easy to do yourself, it's just finishing it off to make sure it doesn't look like you've just hacked away at it! i lovelovelove this and can't say it enough - will have to remember the little stall i got it at and invest in a few more!
i rarely do make up stuff, so i think it's about time to start. i'm hiding my lips as i hadn't done them yet - oopsie. i wore mac studio fix fluid as the base on my face, this is quite thick so you really don't need that much. i followed this up with max studio fix powder which keeps it all in place, and also gives such a smooth look. i then brushed on some mac golden bronzer to give my pale face some colour! i used the mua heaven&earth palatte on my eyes, as i didn't fancy heavy coverage tonight due to the big flicky eyeliner! i did my flicks using barry m liquid eyeliner - which i would recommend to anyone as it works wonders! i don't always use mac, but i save it for when i go out etc as it always makes me feel better!
so, there's my day to night transformation - featuring my beautiful gold lion chain! enjoy :) xo
You have such great style, I'm really jealous! Love the snood, wish I'd known Primark did good quality ones, I live in my H&M one! Also love the bag! x
