A couple of weeks ago my friend went on holiday and came back engaged to her boyfriend whilst in Tenerife. At the weekend I went to her engagement party and just thought I would share some photographs and some outfits of the evening to show you what I wore.
The dress I wore was a long maxi dress from Dorothy Perkins. I have included a link for it if you would like to see it on their website. It was meant to be £25 but because they currently have discount on the website I got some money off and paid less than £15 for it which I thought was a bargain. I did buy the coral colour too but I returned it as I didn't like it and felt the colour looked cheap on me.
As the front of the dress went in a V shape around the boob area the back had a V in it too. In some of the photographs the colour of the dress changes from dark purple to royal blue but trust me the colour is purple. I really liked the shape of the dress as a whole and think next summer I will get a lot of wear out of this dress for formal and informal occasions.
As I am only petite and not very tall I decided to match the dress up with a pair of heels, I liked the length of the dress wearing heels. I bought some new heels from New Look I have included a link but I couldn't find online the black ones I wore so inserted the Navy pair instead. I also used some Gel Spots from Primark you get four spots in a packet for £1.50 they did help to reduce soreness from the bottom of my feet from wearing the heels for too long.
The jewellery I paired with the dress was more than what I would usually go for. I wore a long necklace which I borrowed from my mum and paired some long black earrings with it. I wouldn't usually wear a necklace and long earrings but I thought they went well with the dress. I had my every day bracelets on which I wear all the same except for when I shower and sleep these are the Links of London Belcher Bracelet which my boyfriend bought me for my birthday this year. The other bracelet is a Pandora bracelet One Clip Bracelet and a charm which my Mum and Grandparents bought me for my Graduation. To top the jewellery off I wore my Pandora birthstone ring and flower Pandora ring too.
For the hair I used my new Babyliss secret curl which I am in love with and curled all my hair and tossed it to the side.
For the make up I did wear quite a lot and will detail it below.
