My #NightOut outfit + gift card giveaway

What would you wear on a night out?

I mean, it obviously depends what you would be doing on your night out – whether it’s a quiet dinner and cinema, a few cocktails and going to see a show, or a full on swing-your-hips-on-the-dancefloor party.

This week I'm taking part in a #NightOut campaign, and as part of it I wanted to show you what I would wear on a night out. Well, I love musicals so I’ve decided to go to the theatre shortly, and this is the outfit I've chosen for the occasion! 

When going out to the theatre I would usually wear something classy and elegant. You want to feel like a lady and be all sophisticated and drink cocktails from one of those fancy glasses on foot. So the outfit I chose is a flowy maxi skirt in a lovely and summery dusky pink hue, with a simple cream top from New Look. 

To match this outfit I’ve chosen a clutch bag in a taupe colour with pretty stud details from ASOS. It’s essential that you opt for a bag that goes with the rest of the outfit, as the rule for your handbag is just like for the shoes – it can make or break an outfit!

When dressing up, accessories are very important as well, but you have to choose them carefully. Since I’m going for the elegant look for my theatre night out, I’ve opted for simple silver jewellery. The silver ring necklace with a mother of pearl pendant has been in my possession for several years, and was once a present from my auntie. 

The floral inspired handmade silver ring was a souvenir from Africa that my grandma bought for herself over 30 years ago. I love vintage jewellery! I'm also matching my outfit with the nail polish Berry Ice Cream by Barry M.

Now to the best part…  I'm doing a giveaway where one of Fashion Infatuation’s lucky readers will be the winner of a Ticketmaster voucher worth £40, as well as a highstreet shopping voucher so that you’ll look dashing on your night out – worth £50.

That’s £90 towards a night out of your choice!

The giveaway is open to UK residents only, and to be in it to win it all you have to do is enter via the Rafflecopter widget below.

Good luck!

How to "summer up" a pair of black jeans

I am a big fan of jeans, and when summer's just around the corner I usually get my light washed denim out. However, today I'm making an exception, and I'm wearing a pair of pitch black skinny jeans. I wouldn't normally class this as a summery colour, but my black garments usually get worn the most during the autumn and winter months. But you know what they say... it's all about the styling!

 To make these Lee jeans from Menswear Shop look more summery I've paired them with a light and flowy top, and open sandals.

 The top is a lovely light dusky pink hue and is of the oversized style, with button details and a pretty lace back. The fabric is extremely light and even though it may be warm outside the material is really nice and cool. This is a find from Primark's Spring collection.

 The trick for making any outfit look more summery is to match it with a pair of open sandals. These black strappy wedge sandals are perfect for this outfit, and really compliment the jeans. They too are from Primark, but from their more premium shoe collection. They have spongy cushion bits at the front, which makes the shoes really comfortable to walk in.

 When it comes to accessories I've continued the theme of light pink These pink and green nails are actually my very first attempt of water marble nail art. The result is far from perfect, but with some practise I bet I'm gonna nail this technique! Excuse the pun ;)

What I'm trying to say is that a colour theme can really lift an outfit, and this look is solely based on black and light pink (well, and splashes of green on the nails).

 When going for a pink outfit, you might as well throw some rose gold in there. My stainless steel and rose gold watch with some white stone bling from the Swedish jewellery store Guldfynd goes perfectly with this outfit. It also matches the rose chain bracelet from SNÖ of Sweden. 

Oh, and while you're at it you might as well have a glass of rosé wine as well ;)

I hope you've all had an amazing weekend!
