I had a girls night out on Friday and it was great to catch up with the girls over a scrummy supper and a couple of G&T's.
I've been to this particular Indian restaurant many times before at this time of year and have been surprised by the mixture of people, some really dressing up and those that can't be arsed to cook on a Friday night so pop out without dressing up at all, so it was all about balance and not looking either too over or too under dressed but I wanted to make a bit of an effort in light of the fact I am almost another year older (drat) and Christmas is just around the corner, so it was a good opportunity to finally wear my Boden Lace Top along with the Next PU leggings beloved of a few of my favorite bloggers. An item that I was really unsure about, especially when I was sitting on my friends heated front seat!
The top was out of stock in my size when I first went to buy it some time ago but I kept checking back and finally got it. I thought it was a bit too fitted for my liking so checked again and ordered the next size up but honestly don't think there is a lot in it if I'm honest or perhaps I put on even more wait in the week it took to come. Then in true Boden fashion it got reduced in their recent up to 40% off promo so I wasn't a happy bunny despite the fact I did get it discounted, but not as generous as in the promotion.
I was quite amused by the fact I wore two completely black outfits in one week (see previous post) but am considering myself to be ultra chic in my colour choices and may well turn into one of those women who only wear black eventually, but not just yes, so I slung on my very old leopard print coat to take the edge off and stop anyone thinking I had come straight from a funeral.
Boden Lace Top here. Their sale is now on so you can get it nice and cheap!
Next PU Legging £28 here.
Hobbs Patent Shoes £129 here. Love these because they aren't too high and are really comfy but still elegant. Also available in nude patent or navy suede.
Anya Hindmarch Mini Gracie Bag old larger version in Midnight available here.
Leopard jacket old similar at Topshop for £89 here. I'm really fussy with leopard print and like a clear large print, not small or blurred.
I have a few things on y Boden sale wishlist I am hoping to spend my birthday money on tomorrow so fingers crossed I can get what I want and more importantly that they don't just have a miserly 20% off I much prefer half price items!
What's on your Boden sale wishlist?
