CFW Glitzy Fashion Party | OOTN

 

 
 
| Dress - Zara | Boots - Bank | Necklace - Mango| Ring - Mango |


So on day two of City Fashion Week myself & Sammie from Little Blonde Life made our way to the Glitzy Fashion Party. We didn't really know what to expect, but after taking a few quick snaps outside we made our way to the venue.
The event was held at The Restaurant Bar & Grill, a stunning building located in the landmark Old Post Office building in the heart of City Square. On arriving we were directed up a spiral stair case to the terrace where we were offered a complimentary glass of bubbly & some gorgeous mezze platters.
 
The party was the perfect chance to mingle with the event organisers & some of the lovely models from the Victoria Quarter fashion show. So naturally myself & Sammie sat scoffing the mezze & drooling over some of the gorgeous male models!

Outfit wise, I decided to wear a very A/W appropriate dress from Zara. It's a woven gorgeously comfortable fabric, so kept me very warm whilst we awkwardly posed in city square & only cost a purse friendly £40. The Bank booties have made a reappearance, & although my wardrobe is full with exciting high heels & other exotic boots.. I just can't bear not to wear my old faithful's!
& finally, the bag is a little something I picked up from Primark a few years ago, but the diamante detailing has held up & well, it added a touch of much needed glamour to my outfit.

Overall the night was very enjoyable, ending with a cheeky bottle of wine at Revolution  & a swift beer with Creature & his friend Sam before retiring back to the man cave!

Photo credit to the lovely Sammi from Little Blonde Life, unfortunately my camera was flat as a pancake & there were no batteries around the flat so I had to use my phone all night - disaster!
 
Well, luckily I've managed to get my mitts on a few batteries for the other events throughout the week. Myself & Sammi have been invited to attend a couple of events happening across the city for fashion week, the next being the Glitzy Fashion Party, so another outfit post (hopefully a little more exciting than this one) will be coming soon!
 
So onto what I wore. The misguided jeans are from last year but they are definitely one of my favourites. The sports lux gold stripe down the side is a really nice touch so I decided to go quite simple on my top half. The jumper & shirt combo was inspired from a few of the mannequins at work in Mango. It seems cropped jumpers & simple shirts are big this season & with these two already sat in my wardrobe it was rude not to bust them out.
The jumper did actually start out being really long & oversized, but over the years it's gradually accidentally shrunk! - Just in time for cropped sweaters being in fashion - Win!
 
Finally the accessories are just a few of my staple faves. The bag was £10 from Primark & goes with practically everything, the shoes are just simple courts that I bagged for £12 in the DP sale last year. & the necklace is something I've worn in almost all of my outfit posts lately, but I love it far too much to replace!
