Day & Night - 1 Day 2 Looks

So I had work during the day and an engagement party in the evening. I had no idea what I would wear - for day or for night!

Mashaallah it was the most beautiful and warmest sunny day since last summer, so I wanted to stay away from all black. I recently dug out a skirt I had purchased 7 years ago! I wore it a lot when I first purchased it, but had to put it away once I started piling back on the weight I had lost in the previous year. So I haven't been wearing it for about 6 years. I thought it would be a good idea to team it with tan accessories and a neutral scarf. I wore a summer scarf which is called "yaz ipeği" (pronounced yaz e-peh-ghi, meaning summer silk). It's not really pure silk, it is actually voile satin but the main composition of the fabric is polyester. Yeah I know too much irrelevant detail, but deal with it! :))) It is mainly produced in masses in Turkey during the warmer seasons as it keeps cool and prevents sweating. It's also the lightest fabric ever; so light that it feels like you have nothing on.

Anyways, yeah so I think I ended up with something that reminds me of a safari look. :)

Skirt: Just Jeans

Jacket: Autograph Fashions

Scarf: Akel (from edb Collections)

Bag: Forever New

Shoes: Betts

Belt: K-Mart

Sunnies: Turkey

After getting back home from work I didn't really have too much time to get ready for the engagement. I was obviously going to be late, so I tried to keep it as simple as possible. I opted to go almost all black and I knew I wouldn't be the odd one out. Majority of the guests usually tend to go for black at such occasions. :)

I wore a plain black maxi dress and jazzed it up a little with a pretty abaya kind of overcoat which I had purchased online... again... 7 years ago... I could have gone for a plain pink scarf to match the embroidery and lining of the abaya, but I don't have a plain one in that colour and anyways I thought it would stick out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of my outfit. :) So once again I went for a plain black scarf. I added a little colour with nude shoes, nude clutch, and nude ring. Eh, it was ok... I wasn't too satisfied, but I guess it saved the night without too much fuss.

I apologise for the photo quality as I took the photos after getting home and the room was a little dark.

Have a lovely weekend!

I know you have seen similar make-up looks on me in the past, but I like going for the smokey eye look on special evening occasions. So there you have it! :)
