OOTN: Vamp it Up


Ever had to whip up an outfit in a matter of minutes due to an unexpected call from the girls? Here's a quick outfit post showing you what I wore to dinner and drinks with friends a couple of nights ago. The theme for this outfit was much like all my other outfit posts - vampy meets Morticia featuring bold, dark lips and statement jewellery. Essentially, this outfit is a pair of structured trousers with a simple vest chucked on top. Yet with the use of statement metals, chunky heels and bold lipstick this outfit is brought to life, making it appear much more 'effort like' than it actually is!

By wearing statement jewelry we create the illusion of an accessorized outfit - the mixed textures of metals and gemstones on clothing brings character and luxury to a somewhat simple outfit. This gorgeous necklace was purchased in Zara (for £19.99) a couple of years bag, yet I still find myself reaching for it all the time. This is a great example of how luxury can be brought to your style at an affordable price. Although this exact necklace is no longer available, high street stores such as Topshop and H&M do great alternatives. Here are some of my current favourites:
Oval Stone & Tassel Necklace, Topshop
Bar Chain Choker, Topshop
Metal Mesh Necklace, Zara
Fringed Necklace, H&M

I've gotten a few weird looks whenever I dare to go out in these platforms - but contrary to what these bad boys look like, they are the most comfortable pair of 'heels' I own! The height in the platform at the front of the shoe evens out the height of the heel - essentially making it feel like you're wearing a flat shoe with height (does that make sense?). The whole of your foot is raised rather than just your heel, therefore taking the pressure off the front of your foot. These booties were purchased from Topshop a while back, but I've listed similar (and cheaper) options below:
Chunky Stack Ankle Boot, Asos
Lucy Peeptoe Heel, Boohoo
