A night on the Town

So for the second part of my assessment I have been asked to put together an outfit including all accessories for a night out on the Town.


This has left me a little stumped as it's been such a long time since I have been out.


The last 2 years have been a whirlwind of nappies, vomit, nighttime feeding and operating on less sleep than a taxi driver. I have had 2 beautiful babies come into my life, and while I am so blessed and lucky to have my healthy children, it has left very litre time to even contemplate a night out.


Just recently My husband and I decided we did need to start having a life again and we went to dinner. In a former life there would have been a mad dash to the shops to pick the perfect outfit, new shoes and of course the obligatory new handbag, but on this occasion all I had the energy to muster was a pair of jeans and some heels.


Given that our night out was on tight arse Tuesday, I never felt like I needed to try and dress to impress.


So this new challenge has left me feeling a little stressed and asking myself "what would I wear out if I were to go out"?


Luckly Its my mother's 50th Birthday in less than a month, so I have set myself a challenge to find a complete outfit including the shoes and handbag only using online shopping.


Keep posted to see how I go!

Get the look - Sunday Brunch with the girls

YAY


Spring is finally in the air and at the AICD we have been set a challenge to create a summer day wear outfit including all accessories for myself.


I set about using Polyvore to complete my task and as the Polyvore site is so easy to use its truly gets all your creative juices flowing!


Ive put together the below to show what I will be wearing to my Sunday Morning Brunch with the girls!




This pink dress caught my eye as its one of this seasons hottest colours. A hat is an absolute must during the hotter months to protect your beautiful face!


As an avid fan of silver its been such a delight to finally change to the tones of Gold, so these earrings were  a great find, I feel its complemented by the gold tones in the bracelets and also the handbag, which by the way is perfectly oversized for me as its perfect to disguise the nappies and bottles I carry for the kids!


So to all those following my blog, take the time to have a look at Polyvore and create your own Sunday Brunch outfit
