Take the Plunge

Dress: Topshop

Necklace: Dorothy Perkins

Bag: New Look

Watch: Michael Kors

Heading out to a friends 21st birthday on Saturday night I decided I wanted to wear something a little more daring! The plunge style is back with a bang, having seen it amongst lots of celebrities I decided I was going to pull out this mustard number! I love the unusual colour, like nothing else in my wardrobe, and the ruffled petal design on the bottom is absolutely beautiful. 

The dress is plunged at both the front and back which proved quite problematic on holding it up. During the week I decided to take it to my Gran who can perform magic when it comes to fixing clothes. We opted for a gold chain across the back to hold both sides up and give me peace of mind that nothing would be on show! Who would have known it wasn't part of the dress?

I then teamed the dress with a long, hanging necklace which I tied into a knot to make it hang straight down the middle and added a clash of colour with the leopard print envelope style bag. I love this style of bag for a night out - they are huge and can fit everything in there! You can't see my feet in these photos but I wore my black, pointed Kurt Geiger heels to keep the attention firmly on the dress!

This is a little outside my comfort zone as I don't tend to wear anything where my chest is on show but I decided that I've hardly got a chest to begin with so what was the worst that could happen?! 

Going for straight hair is quite an unusual occurrence for me. Tend to just tie it in a top knot (how exciting?) or leave it down without styling it, my hair has a natural wave to it. I went for nude eyes and a bold statement lip with Mac's Glaringly Hip. I love wearing dark colours on my lips, I think pale girls can really pull them off! This was a night for a bit of sculpting on the face so I used my Sleek Contour Palette in Light.

Hope you all had a great weekend! Would you take the plunge?
