Today's Outfit 15/06/2013

Despite it now being Monday, I'm doing an outfit post from Saturday as I haven't had a chance to go online this weekend! So on Saturday night, I went out for food with the whole family to celebrate my parents 25th wedding anniversary. The evening was lovely, despite my excessively loud family and the fact that I hadn't had much sleep in the past 48 hours! So here's my outfit :)

So only until I'd walked out of the door had I realised myself and my parents were all wearing an all-black outfit; so much for a celebration! I did have three outfits planned but seeing as it was only a pub meal, I decided to go for something not so dressy but still smart. First off is a black cotton sleeveless shirt from that I originally bought for work for the summer months but thought it would go perfect with my black leather pleated skirt here from Forever 21. By adding different textures of black, it keeps the outfit from looking completely dull and drab. Because I'm so petite, I can only really wear short skirts which I don't mind because I think I have pretty long, slim legs! To avoid the funeral look, I paired the outfit with my new red suede heels from New Look; however because I've worn them once on a night out, they're starting to look a bit worse for wear! To finish the look off, I went with multiple bracelets, rings and turquoise nails because I didn't think a necklace would sit well with the neckline of a shirt.
