Starry-Eyed

Wearing the last of my winter going out outfits! It's officially becoming the weather for floral dresses, maxi skirts and light weight tee's. But before I jump the gun I wanted to show you this evening outfit. I wore this recently when I went out with some folks from an old place of work in Liverpool. Oh how I have missed some of the clubs in Liverpool, all the Motown places, Seel st. mainly. And I miss being able to walk everywhere, or having the option to! 

Anyway, I showed you this shirt last week. I'm not a massive fan of 'bling' but I think the sequins are very understated on this. Paired with all black items, I think it makes the button strip stand out a lot more. I put it with this pleather skirt from Primark, the skirt that everyone wanted or blogged about. But it is very versatile. It can be worn during the day, or on evening like this, and the texture adds another dimension to the outfit. Over the top I slipped on my trusty biker jacket, but as I think about it now I can't help but think of that song 'Leatherrr on leattheeerr' and think I overdid the leather/pleather, and rightly so I was asked 'Where have ya left ya harley?' when wearing the skirt and jacket together. Who do I think I am, Meatloaf!? I do need to invest in a new jacket for evening wear. Can you suggest anything??
Again I wore silver rings with the shirt, and red lipstick to match the red suede shoes. Overdoing the rouge? I think not! I do think I'm Marilyn Monroe sometimes, despite SO many obvious differences. Sorry about my bra there by the way! Ooh cheeky!

Anyway, since I missed Liverpool so much I've been pining for city life. Is there any place you miss, or are pining after at the moment!?
