I really don’t have many ‘proper’ nights out when I’m in London; it sounds quite odd, considering it’s the Big City, but since all of my friends and I have gone off to university, summers are generally spent grabbing coffee (or a couple of drinks at the pub) after everyone’s finished work/summer school/sleeping for the day, and everything’s always a bit last-minute, so I don’t find myself donning a pretty dress and heels very often, and welcome the chance to when it comes around! I finally got to get my groove on (cringe, I don’t know why I just typed that, or why I’m leaving in here) last night, and thought I’d take the rare opportunity to share a more ‘evening’ look.
This dress was a complete impulse-buy from my local H&M earlier this year – it’s not the kind of thing I’d normally have picked up, as it looks quite ‘formal’ on the rack, but it’s probably one of the best purchases I’ve ever made – the structured cut is so forgiving that it’s great to wear out for dinner, too.
As for the weird hair situation in these pictures – I always seem to spend the last few moments before a night out deciding whether to clip my hair back or wear it down, so I figured I’d share a snap of both – sharing is caring, right?
How do you like your hair, for a night of dancing? Up and out of the way, or down and wild?
