Hello and welcome to this weeks blog. I decided to do an occasion wear part two, mainly because I have so many items that haven’t seen the light of day for a while and I am excited to get them out! If you did miss part one you can find it here.
Let’s get straight to the outfits….
This dress was my first in store purchase in a while actually, I nipped in to my local New Look and picked up this dress and also the shoes in the sale! Here is the link to the dress. I can’t see the exact shoes but I have found similar on the New Look website. My handbag is a new favourite of mine that I think I have wheeled out for the last three blogs, it just goes with so much in my wardrobe. Like I mentioned last week, it is now sold out but Fiorelli have the same one in different designs.
I haven’t actually worn this jumpsuit since my birthday a couple of years ago so it was nice to get it back out of the wardrobe! This is another New Look one actually, the nearest I could find was this button up jumpsuit from Silk Fred in the same grey leopard print as mine. My handbag is another one that has made multiple appearances over the last few weeks and similarly it is now sold out. Shoeaholics do however have the black version in stock currently. Lastly my shoes are a few years old now but are just classic court shoes that make a return to the shelves every year. These Carvela ones are a good option and are currently on sale!
This sleeveless blazer is a new addition to the family of blazers I have and it has already had a couple of outings! It is ASOS and I picked it up in the sale, it looks like it is actually still in stock, they also seem to do it in a green version as well. My sparkly top is my first H&M offering of this weeks blog which is a shock to the system. I can’t find my exact one but this is super similar and currently in the sale. My trousers are my trusty Lorna Luxe for In The Style contour leggings that I wear at least once a week. They don’t seem to have a lot of stock currently but they seem to get them back in frequently as I think they must be everyone’s favourites!
My shoes are also ones that make a regular appearance on this blog, I do however find different similar ones most weeks to show you and this week is no different. These are from Red Foot Shoes and currently reduced to £20 from £78 😳. Lastly my handbag used to be my go to night out bag, so it doesn’t get many outings now! I have found this sparkly alternative on Next for you.
If you follow me over on Instagram @whatkatyworenext_ you will have seen I wore this look for a meal out when we were away in Portsmouth last week. The silky shirt is a new H&M find and they actually do shorts and a dress in the same pattern, but i thought I would get more wear from the shirt (I’m actually wearing it as I write this) I might be becoming tempted by the dress but we’ll see! My jacket is H&M from last year but I found a similar one on the “goes well with” section of the website for this shirt, which I will link here. My faux leather leggings are another piece from the Lorna Luxe collection, she is launching the third part of her summer collection on Sunday and I have my eye on a bright pink blazer (as if I need another blazer!). My shoes are the New Look ones I have mentioned in outfit one.
I have saved the fanciest outfit for last! This dress is a vintage one I picked up in my favourite charity shop near me that specialises in vintage items, I must get back there. I don’t think it had ever been wore as it still had the tags on it! I have wore it on a couple of occasion now and I love it! These two are the most similar I could find online, first up this off the shoulder number from Silk Fred or this Bardot dress from Frank and Doll, but as I’ve said before check out those charity shops. My handbag is of course my Vivienne Westwood, I have actually found it on Wardow for 30% off this week!! Lastly my heels are a new in purchase from Peacocks when I was in town at the weekend, I just thought they would add a good pop on colour to a black outfit.
That’s it for the final instalment of my occasion wear edit, I hope you have enjoyed. Don’t forget to check out my Instagram for daily outfits, reels and hauls! Next week will either be ways to wear Birkenstock’s for different occasions or a big new in summer haul, watch this space.
Thank you for reading, see you next week.
