The New Year Outfit For Whatever You're Doing

Call me a party pooper (maybe that should be my new blog name?!), but New Year always seems like a bit of an anticlimax to me. There's so much pressure on what to do, everywhere is super busy and once the countdown is over and nothing incredible has happened I lose all enthusiasm. New Year's Eve is actually my mum's birthday and I realised that although I usually spend the day with her I haven't actually spent the evening and seen the New Year in with her for at least ten years. So this year I'm seeing the New Year in with my parents at home watching the fireworks on the TV. I can see that becoming a habit.

I took these snaps old school style on self timer in my office against a plain wall and although I love nothing more than a blurry background shot, I also quite liked stripping my outfit pictures back to their basics and just focusing on the outfit instead of the location and which way the sun was facing. However the light wasn't really my friend so the quality isn't great, but you can still see the outfit and that's the whole point. 

Anyway, I digress from the point of this post. The point is the outfit and the fact that you could wear this if you're going out clubbing (seriously just using the phrase 'going out clubbing' makes me feel like a completely out of touch granny) or staying in with family like me.

Because the outfit is velvet it makes it a touch more glam, but essentially it's a casual all black ensemble and I love that. I also love that because both the top and shorts are velvet it gives the illusion of a playsuit (if you squint a bit anyway). My boots are also suedette even though they're not pictured so I win in the textile stakes.
