Lucie Loves...Blogged // My @MoneySupermkt #PASSIONFORFASHION ‘Party’ Outfit Entry @llymlrs:
My friends and I LOVE shopping for the perfect PARTY outfit, but it can often cost you just as much, if not MORE, than the price of your night out! Eek! I decided to virtually splash out on a few things that I could use/ wear again.
I ADORE the Baroque trend that can be seen all over the catwalks/ pages of glossy fashion magazines and in shop windows this AW12. I particularly liked this large embellished clutch bag from ASOS. It is not only eye-catching, but rather roomy too and looks much more expensive than the £35 price-tag. WIN!
I am sure most girls feel at their SEXIEST when their CURVES look their most FLATTERING. I spotted this Wetlook Bodycon Dress a while ago now and thought it was a real head-turner and a snip at just £20!!
The lace blazer from NEXT, ticks another AW12 must-have box, and steps the idea of a smart jacket UP a gear. A perfect cover-up alternative to the black leather biker or faux fur jacket, at just £32!
Add a simple green pendant necklace for effect! Forever21 do the best cheapy jewellery, this is only £4.90, and will still make a statement when set against the LBD.
I am FOREVER buying shoes that hurt after a few hours of walking/ dancing/ and twirling in them so.. I thought these Topshop REFLECT shoes, with their pretty leopard print block heel and ankle strap detail, would be perfect for adding length to your legs without the ball-of-foot-burning-pain that usually accompanies parading around in such beautiful shoes.
And finally, what girl feels ready to party without her nails painted all pretty, a sexy smokey eye and a fabulous pair of lashes? These lashes are pretty cool as they come with a glittery black feline flick attached!!!
Et Voila!
Party here we come!
