While sat listening to Ed Sheeran’s ‘X’ album, I thought
it would be appropriate to write a blog post about a band completely different
to Ed. Clean Bandit. I have never been a massive fan of the band – don’t get me
wrong I do really like them but I have never been madly in love – but me and my
two best friends decided it would be good to get some tickets to see them live
a couple of weeks ago. The concert was on the 12th October at the O2
Academy in Newcastle
and I thought that I would share my outfit with you.
I decided to wear a plain cream vest top with a lace
cropped top over and paired that with a body-con skirt and a pair of white
leather converse. I really liked this outfit as I felt like it all came
together well and had a sense of autumn with the colours and pattern on the
skirt.
My cream vest top is from Marks and Spencers and my lace
top that I wore over that is from New Look, however I bought this a couple of
years ago so they may not still have the exact one. I think it cost around
£10-£15 but I’m not entirely sure. I love the intricate detailing with the lace
on the top and it gives such a delicate feeling and it is also such a light
weight piece of clothing when you have it on. You could wear any sort of top
underneath this but I chose to wear the plain vest top as I didn’t want to
introduce any other colours into my outfit as the skirt is quite a statement
with the bold colours.
My favourite piece of this outfit has to be my skirt. I
bought this from River
Island a few months ago and
again unfortunately, I don’t think they still sell the same one (I’m not very
good at this am I!?). The skirt cost between £30 and £35 when I bought it but
you may be able to get dupes of it for less money. In my eyes this skirt has a
very autumnal feel about it with the dark greens, blues and purples and also
makes quite a statement when combining it with simple pieces. Although I just
wore this skirt with neutral skin toned tights, you could wear black tights
with it to turn it into a more wintery look and I think it would look great.
For my shoes I chose to wear my most worn pair from my
wardrobe(as you can tell by the dirt!); my white leather converse. The price of these will differ depending
on were you buy them from, but I managed to get mine for £50 from Schuh. These shoes are great to wear with an outfit
like this where you don’t want the shoes to make much of a statement as you
have another bold piece in your outfit. They are a very simple shoe, but are
different to your normal converse as these ones are leather for the most part
of the shoe with a synthetic (basically plastic) toe. Since I have bought these
I have worn them almost everywhere as they are amazing for casual wear and
great for going out when you don’t feel like wearing heels or anything
particularly dressy.
These are the earrings that I wore on the night; a really
simple but pretty lilac stud. I got these when I first got my ears pierced so I
don’t know how much they were but the salon is called TLC. I will leave a link
to their website below and I would definitely recommend going there for any of
the treatments they provide as the staff are lovely and they provide a great
service.
Thanks for reading…
