By popular demand…

Even though I have tons to catch up on, I’m no longer going chronologically since Anita, friend of ET asked for this…and yes, one person is ‘popular demand’ as far as I’m concerned!

This was for my dear dear friend Andrew’s birthday bash that I helped organise.

From Style Per Diem

The jeans: Previously posted dark wash skinny jeans.

The dress: Black puffed/ruffled sleeve jersey dress from H&M. Trying to resist buying the exact same one in coral orange.

The shoes: I wanted to buy booties in time for this event but still have not found acceptable ones so I went with the riffle t-stap heels instead. I was wearing black tights as a layer anyway, since it was cold, so the overall impression was somewhar bootie-licious. Yes, I went there.

Accessories: These were carefully planned, hand made and purchased.

The silk obi belt is hand made from fabric left over from my sister’s sangeet and details can be found on http://www.sewwot.wordpress.com. I wore a dull gold braided cuff, dull gold/brass chain, tripled, these simple dull gold ear-rings and as can be seen in the picture, a dull gold rose pin in my hair. Make up concentrated on the eyes with a shimmery gold/purple mix of eyeshadow and shimmery eggplant eyeliner. Rosy sheer Dior blush and pinkish nude gloss finished it off. You can kind of see it in this picture, even though I look cross eyed. I put my hair back in a bun and made sure the bangs were poker straight.

I thoroughly enjoyed the simplicity of this outfit jazzed up with some carefully selected accessories and my very special belt. I look forward to wearing it in the summer without pants or just with stockings.
