This is what I wore on Saturday night for a friend of mine's 18th Ceilidh, and it was an amazing night!
(For those of you who aren't Scottish - a ceilidh is an evening of Scottish dancing! Like a barndance, but obviously Scottish ;) )
I really wanted to wear a floaty short skirt, and totally forgot that I owned this BCBGMAXAZARIA one that I bought years & years ago while in the United States, and it has a gorgeous ribbon wrap abound belt attached to it which you can see in the last photo.
I hate wearing dull colours, or even simply black and white - so I paired the grey skirt with my neon pink lace top from H&M's recent Conscious Collection for that pop of colour against the skirt and my cream H&M Blazer.
My Hessian & White heels are ones I bought last Summer in Dorothy Perkins and I absolutely love them, they've had a few casual outings already this summer, I wish I could wear heels everyday.
It was my birthday on Thursday (and I'm now the scary age of 20, leaving my teen years behind!) and the bag you see in the two top images was a gift from a (guy!) friend, a beautiful pastel pink and light grey/purpley colour bag which I am very in love with! He even didn't ask for any hints, help or ideas - just shows me that he does listen to all my fashion chat! :)
It went perfect with my outfit so received it's first outing then! :)
Got so many other beautiful gifts too, will do a blog post about them very shortly!
