Hoping you've had a super weekend, what did you get up to?
Mine has been a very busy one, with me going out on both Friday and Saturday night.
Friday instead of dancing I went to a friends 60th birthday party. I was unusual to venture out on a Friday evening but it was very much enjoyed. It was held in a restaurant in my local city. Canterbury is just a 15 minute car journey and we were lucky enough to be dropped off by my daughter. Drinks flowed and little sushi offerings were served by the waitresses and they were all so very tempting I had to try all of them! The singer offered brilliant music to dance the night away and as you all know I love to dance I took full advantage and didn't sit down! Having had such a fantastic night the following morning was errr … a bit challenging, especially as I'd agreed to take my grandson to his football match at 10 in the morning! I really didn't feel like going out and would have loved to roll over and pull the duvet over me! I'd never let the kids down so pulled myself together and headed out to the local school playing field where the match was being played. I can honestly say I felt so much better after being out in the fresh air, albeit very chilly - but it really did wake me up! The rest of the day was spent on the sofa with a furry throw over me. I had to get myself re-charged for the night out with my daughter and son-in-law!
So Saturday night we went out to have a few drinks and eat at the local tapas. Four of us spent a wonderful few hours enjoying delicious dishes including garlic prawns, tortilla, chorizo in spicy honey to name but a few. We'd also enjoyed a G & T in a local micro pub and a glass of English sparkling wine in a new little wine bar before having the tapas and after that we popped into our local for a couple of drinks to finish the night off! They had a band playing and it was a fantastic atmosphere as the pub was full to the brim of dancers, singers and drinkers all enjoying the night. It wasn't a late night as we were home by midnight but after the previous evenings partying I did feel a bit jaded yesterday. We still managed to prepare and cook a roast chicken which went down very well. All in all the weekend has been one to remember!
I'm sad to say I didn't get any photographs of my outfits, but might try and take some to share with you a bit later on! Watch out for a late edit.
So let me tell you what I wore for my two evenings out. Friday night with the weather wet and cold here recently and the fact I thought we might have to walk to and from the venue to find a taxi home I decided to wear trousers, but not any old trousers, I wore sequined trousers with my new-from-Christmas ankle boots. I knew I'd be very comfy in both these especially with walking and dancing. I'd worn them in the past with a plain black silky top and fancied something different. I generally don't like to pair patterned fabrics with sequins so when I found a chiffon blouse in F & F I thought it would be great over a classic black camisole which I figured would be warm too.
On Saturday I was going to put jeans and a sheer top with aforementioned black boots but when my daughter told me her sister was going to wear a dress I quickly changed my mind. I've got this super fine knit midi dress that's very plain with long sleeves and a high turtle neck that's an absolute winner in my eyes for times when a dressy-but-comfy outfit is needed. It fitted the bill beautifully. I teamed it with gold jewellery, tan suede boots and leather bag and my very long trench coat for a classy and chic look that was also warm and cosy to wear. My black dress wasn't all the money in the world but it really does ooze elegance and makes me feel glamorous when I wear it.
Do stop by on Thursday for the linkup, come share your chic and stylish outfits.
Cheerio for now. X
