Wedding Outfit Details

On Sunday, I was at my boyfriend's sister's wedding. The ceremony was held in Butlersbridge church and the afters in the Radisson at the Farnham Estate in Cavan. The venue was fabulous as was the food, music and entertainment. As for the bride! Well .. She was absolutely stunning. Her dress was astounding! Her hair and make-up was perfection! She looked like a princess! I could not have imagined a better day for the groom and bride. The whole day ran so smoothly and the weather could not have been better. I am so happy for Caoimhe and Mark and I can tell they are too. I really do wish them all the best for the future and much happiness!

Now for my outfit! I have never ever struggled so much to find something to wear. In total, I'd say I bought 5-6 dresses, returning one and picking up the next. Nothing felt right! Dressing for a wedding is difficult especially at a young age. Everything is either old fashioned or OTT and not suitable. I didn't want to be seen in the same dress as anyone else. I first picked up a River Island dress but saw several photos on Facebook of girls wearing the same dress. That was a big NO NO! After weeks of searching, I found the dress below and fell in love. The Floral Cami Dress is from Michelle Keegan's range for Lipsy London. I have never tried on a dress that fitted so well and made me feel so good. I just had to have it. I bought mine from Debenhams for €78. Yes it is quite pricey but you are paying for quality. You'll also find Lipsy available online.

I paired it with a pair of 'barely there' mint sandals from New Look and a turquoise pashmina scarf from Marks and Spencers. I had a pair of turquoise pumps on standby from Penneys/Primark for the sore feet later in the night.

Shoes: €44.99

Pahmina Scarf: €30

Ballerina Pumps: Under €10 (Can't remember exact price)

As I was staying in the hotel I decided there was no need for a bag or clutch. I kept it simple with accessories and opted for a nice pair of statement earrings (can we just take a moment to praise H&M on their fabulous jewellery?) and a delicate bracelet. 

Earrings: €6.99 (H&M) 

I'd also like to give a shout out to Carol from CC's Nails and Beauty, Cavan, who very kindly fitted me in last minute and did my nails. I got a gorgeous set of gel nails in a nude colour with a silver glitter polish on my ring finger. I'd highly recommend this little gem in Cavan town. Check out their Facebook page here.

And there you have it! I hope you like my outfit as much as I did. Mwah!

Outfit Details: Baby Blue Cowl Neck Cropped Jumper and White Skinny Jeans

I posted the above photo before Christmas and just realised I didn't post the outfit details. This was my attire for work one day and I really loved it. Pastel blue and white are some of my favourite colours to wear. 

Baby Blue Cowl Neck Cropped Jumper

I love this! I got it in New Look just before Christmas. The fit is just gorgeous and it's perfect for the Winter. It's slightly oversized and sits just above the bellybutton (on me anyway). Blue is one colour that actually does me justice but this is also available in grey and cream. Get yours here or in store for only €29.99.

White Skinny Jeans

I got the jeans I am wearing above from Zara. I bought them in the Summer sale for €9.99. I was so happy with the price that I didn't stop to try them on... Sure enough they were way too big (hence the belt), but they were the only pair of white jeans that I had so I just had to wear them, even though I wasn't a fan of the little tears. Since then I have ordered a pair of white skinny jeans from Topshop. I love their jeans so much, especially their highwaisted ones. Highly recommend! These ones are yet to arrive but no doubt you'll see me wearing them very soon. Hehe! I bought mine here (online) for £36 (not including delivery) but they're also available in store in an aray of colours.

Shoes

I picked up these little beige/tan suede brogues from Penneys/Primark last Summer and only got wearing them now. I don't think they were more than €10. Penneys always have these types of shoes available all year round. They are so affordable and I find them quite cute and quirky.

Accessories

Belt: I teamed my outfit up with a beige/tan belt; firstly, to keep my jeans up and secondly, it matched my shoes. Hehe! It was hidden away in my Mam's wardrobe and I have no idea where it's from but if you are on the look out for something similar then Penneys have a huge selection of belts in every shape, size and colour.

Socks: My Mam didn't like me going out in the cold sockless and insisted on making a trip to Tesco for a pair of matching socks. She came back with a three pack, all of which were in or around the shade of my jumper. Never would I have thought of matching my socks and jumper. Ahaha!

Earrings: How lovely are these little snowflakes? They came as part of a Christmas multipack from Claires Accessories. I was feeling festive and thought they were just so cute. 

So thats it folks! Hope you are enjoying these OOTD posts as much as I enjoy doing them. Let me know if there is anything you would like to see. Thanks for reading! Mwah!

OOTD: Casual Oversized Jumper and Chelsea Boots

I posted the above picture on my Facebook page and Instagram yesterday. I was heading out to a Christmas party for children in foster care. I have three foster siblings and my Mam wanted some company so I decided to go. I kept my outfit quite casual with an oversized jumper, black tights and black Chelsea boots.

Saskia Soft Laguna Knit Marl Mix Jumper Dress

I ordered this from Boohoo.com (I order waaay too much stuff from this site ..) for €34. Available in a berry colour and grey, I decided to opt for the burgundy berry colour. At first I ordered it in Medium (as the model is supposidly wearing this size) but found it to be way too big. I ended up returning it and got a Small. It fitted a lot better. It is meant to look slightly oversized anyway. The quality of this jumper is so good and the knit is fab! You will see reds intertwined with deep purple. I love it! This chunky knit is so comfy and cosey. Perfect for the winter months. I also find Boohoo have a super quick delivery service with your package arriving to your door in 3-5 days. 

100 Denier Black Tights

I decided to pair the dress with a pair of black tights. They were pretty standard .. Just plain 100 denier tights. I always get mine from Penneys. They have a huge variety of tights from light to dark to standard to fashion. Usually they are under €5 per packet. You could also pair the dress with jeans or leggings or even go bare legged if you wished. A pair of knee high boots or socks would be fab!

Black Block Heel Chelsea Boots

I featured these in a Mini Shopping Haul a while back. I picked them up in New Look for only €29.99. I thought they were such a bargain. I felt they were real cute with the little jumper dress.

I had a no make-up day and left my hair natural. We need those days every now and then. Hehe! I hope you liked my outfit and I'm planning on doing a lot more 'Outfit of the Day' posts so stay tuned! Mwah!
