Outfit Post - A Cowgirl Twist!

It was our works staff do last week and we went to a great place called the Hang Fire Grill which takes place in The Canadian pub in Splott every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. So to honour the event we decided to dress up with a Western Theme. So here is my take on a modern cowgirl outfit.

 Dress: Converse

Shirt: Spy Denim Menswear

Tights: Random from TKMaxx

Shoes: Ruby Shoo via Ebay

Necklace and Ring: via Etsy

 I didn't have a cowboy hat so I figured bunches would have to do.

 I thought the heart print tights would add a bit of extra fun to the outfit and I don't have cowboy boots but I had just bought these Ruby Shoo denim shoes on eBay and they needed some breaking in, so I thought they would be perfect for this outfit. I managed to get them at a bargain price, they usually sell for £40-£45 new and I got these for £11 on eBay and they are practically new, barely worn on the sole at all.

 And to finish the outfit off some fitting jewellery for the outfit, my stag skull ring and bulls head necklace! Love them lots!

So what do you think, did I manage to look Western enough?

Have you done any fun fancy dress recently?

Inspiration Monday

The ladies of Two Birds Blog have given us another inspiration photo for this weeks Inspiration Monday post.

This week they chose this casual outfit by Gwen Stefani. I decided that this week I would take the outfit a little less literally as it was a fairly easy outfit to replicate.

So I ended up with this:

I changed up the heels for flats as heels would not have been practical for the outing this outfit was used for, a simple late night backyard BBQ, and I added the white top so I didn't get too old later in the evening.

Shirt: Spydenim Mens Wear

Jeans: Dorothy Perkins

Top: Tommy Hilfiger

Shoes: Converse from China

Glasses: Magazine Freebies

So I kept the check shirt, dark jeans, oversized animal print sun glasses and bright red lippy, so I think I did quite well and put my own comfortable twist on it!

My girly Holiday

Im still really busy at the moment so sorry for neglecting my blog. Once the wedding is done my days off will actually be days off, not wedding prep days. I should get back to normal then, but just bare with me for the mo, please!

Anyway I was away on a mini girly holiday this week so here are some pics for you all! We were in Saundersfoot on the welsh coast. And went to Manor Park, hence the Wallabys, lol!

This is Saudersfoot coast line, luckily it was nice and sunny for the 3 days we were there.
