Beauty Inside Art

Hello everyone. How are you? University started this week - so far not that much to do - but when I look at my courses' outlines I get a tiny panic attack. There's a big chance you won't hear from me in April, but so far I've been really good and I'm currently preparing some future posts. 

This post shows an outfit I wore when I went out for dinner with my best friend, yesterday. Sadly, I hadn't taken my camera with me, but if I had, I would have included a photo of the gigantic Caesar Salad I ordered. These photos were taken before I got to do my makeup and hair - I would have lost this perfect lighting otherwise.

This outfit was a bit of an experiment. I had spent quite some time trying to figure it out. I knew I wanted to wear my brand new M&S skirt - I got it for €19.50 instead of €39.50 on the sale. It's a size 8, but it feels a bit larger than my liking. What is going on? If you've watched my recent haul, you know that I bought sizes 6 and 8 - I'm usually a 10. Either I've lost weight, or something has happened with the M&S sizing. Anyway, back to the outfit. I also knew that I wanted to pair purple and yellow - hence the purple tights, but this purple jumper I had in mind, didn't really work. After half an hour of trying on different shirts, I somehow came across this monochrome, sleeveless, polka dot top I bought in the summer sales - I have a haul and it will be uploaded soon. Since it's still rather cold I had to wear a black, plain top underneath. I think it turned out alright. A bit of a daring choice to combine polka dots, yellow and purple. But that's what my fashion style is, colourful, with patterns and elegance - at least that's what I hope for.

The stunning lemon yellow coat is from Marks & Spencer, as well as the lime/mustard yellow skirt. The polka dot top is also from M&S, my heeled ankle boots are from Quiz and my black handbag was actually a gift from the friend I went out with, from Stradivarius.

What do you think of this outfit? My friend told me that I looked sophisticated - like a psychologist - but younger than my age with the new haircut. I'm not sure I can consider that a compliment!
