*Quick Note* This is actually an old post that I never posted, but since it has been the same weather here in England recently I thought it would be a good idea to share it! So here is younger me with different hair...!
It's been so hot here in the West Midlands for a few weeks now and
the other night me and my dad got invited to a BBQ. Now I don't have many
things to wear in the summer because it's never usually this hot! So I decided
to wear one of the only day dresses I own... AND I LOVE IT!! This outfit was so
breathable and cool in the hot weather and wasn't uncomfortable at all!
The dress: I bought this dress from
Primark earlier this year. I was so amazed because it was only £7 and for
that price I could not walk away! I's a navy blue rah-rah dress with little
hearts all over it and I think it's so pretty and versatile as I would wear
this on an average day but I also wear it when I need to dress up a
bit. I just change the accessories and my hair and it transforms it so
well. It's great for me as I'm a lil' bit chunkier so this pulls me in at the
waist so nicely while the layers hide my belly!
The shoes: I recently found out I had no pretty shoes that I could wear
with tights So that was my next task and I finally found some really nice ones!
These were from Store 21 and were at the amazing price of £4.99. Again they're
a navy blue and have little white swallows dotted all over them. They are so
comfortable and so pretty so I'm really happy I bought these!
Hair: If you follow me on Instgram (my username is Darkeowl ;) hehe)
then you'll know that I was super happy about how my hair had dried... (well
that's a random topic!) I loved how it had gone so curly naturally and I didn't
want to put it up but I also didn't want it in my face! So I decided to have it
both ways and put half up, half down. I used a really pretty flower clip from
Claires to secure it and hide the hair band I'd put in it! Overall I think it
was a really pretty look!
Makeup: I wanted to keep my
make-up really simple because it's so hot! So I just used a little bit of
concealer and powder and applied some eyeliner and mascara to my eyes. I also
used my new Maybelline Baby Lips in Peach Kiss which tastes AMAZING!
So that is my outfit of the day! I really
loved the way I looked going to the BBQ (I know that sounds a little bit vein
but I don't usually like the way I look!) and I hope this has given you some
inspiration for if you're going to a BBQ! Good luck and try not to melt ;)
