evenings by beckymayblog

When I go out in the evenings I either end up rushing out, having not planned a thing, or with waaaay too much time to get ready. 

If the first case, I simply swap whatever boots I'm wearing for my trusty Roger Vivier heels, (exact ones in collage) add some lipstick, (Mac's ruby woo, if I'm feeling brave) and maybe apply a little more eye make up. 

If the second scenario, and I find myself with plenty of time to get ready, I might wear my little black dress and a chic jacket. I would wear my Roger Viver heels with this look too. However, I often find I end up changing back into jeans/slim trousers, and a jumper for ease. I hate being over-dressed! 

My Kooples coat, which is almost identical to the one I used in the pic, is great to wear over any outfit, I think it's a perfect balance between feminine and masculine. 

Tonight I actually had a lot of time to get ready, but after spending too long in a bubble bath, and getting distracted by Lisa Eldridge's youtube channel, the time quickly dwindled away, and guess what? I'm in my jeans and a jumper!

Have a good weekend!

  1. a lovely set - you have exactly the same evening wear philosophy as me, I always end up in jeans, a jumper and usually pointed flats :) I love this Marant jumper, so perfect, definitely on my wishlist. x

  3. I love this set, so chic. I love the sweater and pants. I'm always under-dressed when it comes to going out at night. My go-to outfit is a pair of high-waisted shorts and a blazer: pretty much my daytime uniform as well!

  5. This means it's okay for me to wear jeans and jumpers in the evenings too. Brilliant. Do love the navy Marant jacket.
