The Twelve Clothes of Christmas #7

Tonight I took the kids to the Nottingham Royal Concert Hall to the Christmas Carol Concert with Nottingham Harmonic Choir and Thoresby Colliery Brass Band. Both were fantastic and a splendid evening was had by a packed audience who enjoyed listening to some brilliant music and jining in with lots of carols, I certainly feel much more in the Christmassy spirit now.

I wore my red Vickie dress from Bettie Page Clothing with obligatory Santa hat!!! The dress is fantastic, I had waited for months for it to come back in stock in my size and when it did it coincided with a 30% off discount - talk about great timing!!! It is so comfy and easy to wear in a soft but thick stretch jersey fabric with three quarter length sleeves and back zipper. Clever waist detailing gives a great hourglass figure and the demure neckline is perfect for adding a brooch, my brooch of choice this evening (although sadly I didn't get a closer pic of it) was a lovely, custom made mistletoe brooch by Miss K's Floral Fancies, I also have a matching hair clip. Even on a tall gal like me it finishes below the knee so is super flattering. It is also available in both green and black versions which I am now saving up for as it's such a lovely dress. It has great vintage styling from the early 1960s and certainly turns heads. A very sweet lady came up to tell me that she thought I looked lovely and had great style which made my day.

 
Just out of shot are my red patent shoes and neutral seamed tights (not a huge fan of stockings) from What Katie Did which complete the look.
 
(lighting at the theatre was not great for pictures so you can't really see the lovely shade of red)

Outfit of the week........

Last week I went out for a midweek pizza with the girls after work for a gossip. I decided to wear my lovely Bettie Page Clothing black peasant top and green fan skirt with my ankle strap bordello genies in black leather. I love that skirt, so comfy and easy to wear and I always get excited that it has POCKETS!!!!!!!!!!


Lovely evening and I do like my outfit even if I say so myself hehe!!!

Outfit of the Week #7

Last night I went out to a lovely friend's Hen Do in Nottingham. We started off with a vintage tea at The Walk cafe then moved on to the bars. As I was driving and had to be home for the babysitter I sadly left before things got messy but it was lovely to spend a few hours with a lovely bunch of people.

Here's what I wore.........


skirt - it's vintage daaaaahling (check out the pocket detailing - awesome!!!)
shoes - bordello genies from Burlesque Shoes
bangles and belt - thrifted

Outfit of the week

I'm far too lazy to do 'outfit of the day' posts but thought I'd try and pick out a nice outfit each week to blog about instead. I wore this outfit on Friday night to watch The Roomates at our regular rock and roll club. The skirt I wear LOADS, for work, dancing and going out - fits perfectly. The top is another wardrobe staple of mine too. I wasn't sure we were going out at all as the weather had been atrocious so threw this ensemble on at the last minute and was glad I did as we had a really great night.


Shoes - Bordello Genies
