You Are The Smile I Can't Replace

Tuesday, 31 July 2012

I went to a friend's 21st party at the weekend and I thought I'd share a quick OOTD for you. I don't often post pictures of myself on the blog as I find it hard to take self-portraits, but I managed to get my mum to take a picture for me before I left.

Apologies for the awkward stance, I'm not used to posing for OOTDs

The dress code was smart casual, so I thought this white Urban Outfitters dress was a great choice for a summer's evening garden party. I absolutely love this dress, the shape and cut is super flattering and I am obsessed with crochet material at the moment. I paired the dress with my coral Steve Madden heels as I thought they added a nice pop of colour. The heels were so comfortable and easy to walk in - Score! I topped off the outfit with a leopard print clutch, as I thought it was fairly neutral and wouldn't clash too much with the shoes or the crochet pattern on the dress. I decided to not wear any jewellery, as I wanted to keep everything really simple and I was a little scared of getting things caught in the dress!

xoxo, Joy

P.S. The post title is lyrics from Icing by Charity Vance. I have been listening to this song on repeat and I love it!
