#FBMChallenge

My apologies for going completely MIA these past two weeks. I know I proposed a challenge and didn't keep up but in my defense, I had a busy two weeks. I did however, take pics of what I wore and even managed to pull out a couple gems, I also emptied a fraction of my closet which made so much more space for next season's purchases. :)

Day Two, Wednesday

I wore this to a birthday supper. This month my calendar was full of birthdays, mine included. Plaid is so in at the moment so I paired these TopShop pants with a sheer top and barely-there heels.

I usually do wear darker colours but on this particular night I decided to channel my inner RiRi with this super dark lip. I got mixed reviews but I still loved it and will definitely be wearing it more often. (I used a lip pencil because I don't have this colour in a lipstick).

Le Bebe Soiree

A friend of mine hosted a baby shower for her sister about a month back which I was fortunate enough to attend. The parisian theme was perfect for me because I am a lover of all things french and anyone who knows me knows that I go totally ham on the buffet table, I sample everything from starter to dessert and anything else I can try ( I taste, I do not finish everything). This is where my chef side reveals herself. I don't remember exactly what I ate but I ate everything, forcing me to unbutton a few buttons.

I decided to clash my florals because it seemed like the parisian thing to do and because I rarely wear dresses or skirts I opted for a floral pants from Zara and matched it with a yellow floral top, also from Zara. I prefer having one main focus when putting an outfit together so I kept the focus on the florals and softened the look with a white blazer and black pointies. The loudness of the print meant that my accessories could kept to a minimum (or I was rushing and kind of forgot to put on jewellery) which worked in my favour because it would have been too much.
