Outfit of the Day – 21

     This past weekend my flatmate and I had a party for our 21st birthdays (we’re 10 days apart), and this was my outfit for the evening. We’d chosen a dress up theme, but we knew a lot of people weren’t going to bother with it, so I chose an in-between sort of outfit. I found the dress first, and loved it straight away – I think the dark green is gorgeous (these photos don’t do it justice, I didn’t have a lot of time to take them!) – so built the costume around it. I thought the green would work for a wood elf/nymph costume, so I added the flower crown and chose leaf patterned jewellery to create a woodsy effect. I’m wearing nude tights here, because Scotland is cold, but I thought natural would be best, instead of black, and the brown ankle boots also added to the elfin style I was aiming for (though I changed to black flats for going out). Finally, I didn’t have green eyeshadow, but I added some details to my eyeliner, to make it a little more unusual.
