Outfit of the Month - May

So I wanted to follow up from this post about my overall outfit I wore to a 21st birthday recently.

I bought my Hello Kitty lipstick with my post about it here and wanted to make it work with a deep blue dress. So here are all the items I bought shown separately:

I bought the dress from Ally Fashion for AU $39.99. I loved it as soon as I saw it! It is a velvet dress with blue glitter dots all over the dress. It's polka dots meets velvet! When I bought the hello kitty lipstick I just knew I wanted to wear it with this dress! So, with that in mind I needed hot pink shoes for the whole outfit to come together.

So here is a picture of the whole outfit - excuse the picture as I cut out my friend and never got a picture taken of myself. Didn't want to include my friend just in case. Also, I may look short because I crouched down to take the picture as I was so tall in those heels:

I accessorized with silver Jewellery. I wore a diamonte choker necklace which I believe cost around $40 from Diva - I bought it a few years ago so I really don't remember. My earrings are from Lovisa and were on sale for $5. I kept my eye make-up simple with just black eye liner and mascara. My foundation was Bourjois Flower perfection blogged here and I used an Avon loose powder. I would let you know how much my clutch was but I can't because it was a gift. I would say you can find clutches for approx. $40. Here is a close up of my make-up and accessories:

So overall, this outfit costs $85 for the shoes, $40 for the dress, $45 for accessories, $40 for the clutch = approx. $210 in total. You can probably do it for less if you get the accessories and clutch on sale.

I received many great compliments on the night and loved the outfit overall! It was great mixing deep blue with hot pink. It worked out so well!

Outfit of the Month - April

20120502-205534.jpg

I know I have blogged about this dress on a previous occasion, but I've worn it so many times to work, that I wanted to share it again. My mustard collared dress cost $14.95 from Temt. My stockings cost 2 for $20 from Equip. My shoes were $10 from Rubi Shoes. My earrings cost $4 from Etsy seller Paper Biscuit. Excuse my pictures as I took the picture after work as oppose to before and I look a bit short and stumpy in my dress. Looks better in person.

All up this outfit cost me less than $50. It's cute and vintage and I'd wear it anywhere from going to work, out to high tea, lunch with friends, a nice dinner or birthday celebrations!! I love it so much I think I've worn it almost every week in April :D

I especially like the stockings because they look like they have been crocheted or knitted. They are actually good for winter.

If you ever want to come shopping with me, I'm more than happy to go out and have a good browse with you. Hope you like my outfit and gives you an idea on what to wear on your next day out :)

My photos were all taken using my iPhone and I used an app called Befunky to put crop and put some nice effects and borders around it.

Thanks for stopping by.
