GOLD NIGHTS OUT

Gold Nights Out

Gold Nights Out by sophia2a 

What to wear come Saturday night, I hear you ask? 

Why, red, black and gold of course. 

And why not throw in a stripe of blue, because it's the freak'n weekend after all. The Moschino belt may be a little overkill for some people's likings (mine included) but you can't say that I don't fully embrace a theme now can ya? A slick of lipstick in place of a head because lipstick smudges become your personal calling card come nightfall, not in any form of seduction, merely as a means of marking one's territory, or at least claiming ownership over whose drink is whose - never make the mistake of sharing shades, there will always be one who drinks faster and thus become head drink swindler. Or maybe this is just my friends... Pile on the bangles because, well there's no reason necessary for this one and a watch is always useful, if not wholly necessary, for looking like you're punctual at all times, even when the opposite is true (in my case). Finish with a bag that comes with instructions of use sewn on to it, a dusting of bronzer, a voilà, c'est finis.

Blisters accrued from atrocious dancing in above amazing stilettos are inevitable but what are a few cuts in the name of a good night eh?!

SEQUINS & FLUFF

Sequins & Fluff


I don't want to over saturate the blog with Polyvores but it really is too addictive - plus my incessant cravings to shop, shop, SHOP, are *slightly* pacified by this virtual 'lets play dress-up' portal. And it really does satisfy my long forgotten collage-obsessed teenage self of yore. 

Killer shoes by Sophia Webster, but then again with a name like Sophia her shoes were always going to be stellar… I see shoes as my kryptonite. Sometimes I catch myself wishing for extra feet, so that I could wear more shoes at one time, but then I realise that this is in fact weird and I need to get a grip - or get a slightly healthier addiction (like smelling magic markers), before I get dangerously close to foot fetish territory! (Side note: My penchant for all things fluffy is still rife. See my earlier mentions of all things furry here.)  

I'm also thinking that some form of leather-like trouser needs to supplant my staple black jeans. Hmmm… Why is it that Christmas always makes me want to shop for myself. Evidently the first thing I need to invest in is a new moral compass, because mine has obviously gone askew. 

Anyone that knows me knows that I love a sequin. Not quite to the extent of the cast of 'Strictly Come Dancing' but not far off. Sequins for day, sequins for night; the only place that I won't do a sequin (weird phrasing there I know but YOLO) is at the gym. I like to sweat without being blinded by the shimmery glare of myself; plus the probability of being mistaken for a disco ball is too high for my ego to take. 

A good ol' statement bag finishes off the look because, well, I said so. And I'm also feeling purple lips at the moment. I've yet to try it out but in theory it seems like a good idea. I'm thinking that during a night of Christmas merriment would be a good time to give it a go. Beer goggles make people far more receptive to new things - as I'm sure the statistics of alcohol poisoning and unprotected one-night-stands exemplifies. 

Now all I need is an occasion to wear this well executed ensemble. Oh and the bank balance to afford it...
