Hashtag: OOTN Engagement Party

So we went to celebrate one of my friends getting engaged to her lovely fiancé last night.

I haven't been out out on a Saturday night in a while and I was ready to let my hair down, and get my boogie on! 

I've been trying to not drink too much this year but had a few vodkas last night. The DJ was great - playing a mixture of classics and up to date tunes! I thoroughly enjoyed myself!

I had in mind what I was going to wear. It was either to be my blue lace-sleeved number, or a long, sheer, black dress. Neither of which can be worn with tights. That was until the temperature dropped about 10 degrees just in time for the weekend! Rain as hard as bullets and wind strong enough to move our fence panels on and off all day Saturday made my outfit plans null and void. My poor knees would be blue!

Here's where my brand new khaki green petite jumpsuit came in! Whilst on our trip to the travel agent to book our honeymoon last weekend, it's the actual law to pop into Dorothy Perkins on any trip to the shops. Sorry if you didn't realise that - but now you know!! ;-) 
Anyway, I digress. In Dorothy Perkins, I never bother with any of the clothing sections apart from Petite, anything else is miles too long! 

That's where I found this gorgeous jumpsuit. When I saw it hanging there, I thought it may be too tight. The belt is waist-level and I was worried my belly would look ridiculous in it. My stomach is my problem area, especially as I've been pushing it with what I'm eating - I stopped caring for a while but honeymoon booking has woken me up. No more takeaways! Must be strong! 

I tried the jumpsuit on and I loved it! I already started mentally planning when I could wear it. What shoes I would wear it with. Which handbag should I use with it? What jewellry I would put on with it. 
I blinked and it was at the till being purchased and becoming mine!

It was so comfortable to wear. I used the gold zip pockets and D-shaped belt fastener details to pair with a gold necklace. I originally put hot pink heels on with it, as my lipgloss was fuchsia and nails were hot pink! The heels are peep-toe and I decided to leave this outfit for another (warmer) day. The other option was green pointed courts and my matching mint green Ted Baker handbag. I let the hubby decide and he went with classic black - the Mary-Janes with the chain detail twist (sooo comfortable) from Wallis paired with an old black sequinned clutch from good old Primark.

I loved wearing this jumpsuit, it was easy to move about in and the only downfall with this, and every other jumpsuit, is the fact you have to get half naked to use the little girls room! :-D
