Bows & Satin



My photo form a night out I went on last night. All these pieces are fairly old but "classic" so similar things will still be in the shops. Because I bought my DLSR camera this month (and as these photos show still need to practice with!) I haven't had any money to spend on new clothes. So this outfit was put together last minute during a week where I just hated everything I owned. 

I bought the blouse back in October because I needed some "smart/casual" clothes to wear whilst I assisted in a Apprentice style competition. And honestly it's been sat at the back for a while. The dress is from the new year period of 2008-09 sales and was back when body con dresses were all the rage! You can't tell from the pictures but it is satin and is very fitted. I had to be careful how I sat in it. 

Still getting used to the Nikon D3100 camera but having real difficulty with self-portraits. Been reading up on lenses and found some that are best for portraits, so might save up. But otherwise the colours in these pictures are lifelike!
