So I had an amazing response to my dress dilemma post, where I couldn't decide which dress to keep for my Christmas night out. The overwhelming consensus was either number 1 or 4...
So I decided to keep both! I'm saving the sequin one for Hoggers (NYE for all you non-Scottish folk). But today I thought I'd share some of my photos from my Christmas Night Out!
I also have some exciting news (not really). Those of you who follow me on Twitter will already know this, but I have gone to the DARK SIDE! Yes, I am no longer platinum blonde. If you glance up to the right, you will see the hair colour I usually have - preeeetty blonde. I've always been blonde, ever since I was a little tot...
My sister is like a chameleon of hair colour, she has naturally dark hair but has been everything from white blonde to black over the years...
... And it's made me a bit jealous! So last year I tried dying my hair brown.
But this time I was determined to go a bit darker properly and went to my hair extensionist so she could colour it and match my extensions at the same time. I asked for golden blonde, like Blake's...
... this photo (that I took quickly for Twitter!) doesn't really show the golden tones very well. The following pictures show it better.
But anyways! I have a really close group of friends I met at uni, we go out every year and this year we went to Ashton Lane in Glasgow West End. It's a beautiful little pedestrian-only cobbled lane filled with pubs and restaurants.

It's a lovely place to go for a night out. Here's me in THE OUTFIT.
I added a cute little belt from Primark and my amaaaazing shoes from ASOS. Clearly I forgot to clean my camera as well. =p
Close up of my hair - what do you think? I actually really like it now!
Me and my best friends. ^_^
I had a great night, it's so lovely to catch up with friends, and I love the festive season for all the excuses to dress up! Hope you guys are enjoying it so far.
So did I end up picking the right dress? It was actually totally down to you guys cause I wouldn't have kept this one otherwise!! And what do you think of my new hair?? Do I suit it?
Let me know!!

ReplyDelete@Angie - I can't wait to wear the sequin one! My new colour is really growing on me too. I keep getting a fright when I look down cause it looks so dark but I know it's not really, it's just compared to what I'm used to!! =p

ReplyDelete@Soph - haha, thank you! That's so sweet. I actually don't have a lot of confidence in my looks so it's always a bit scary posting pics of myself. =/

ReplyDelete@stefanie - aw thank you!! It's so weird cause when I did the post asking people to vote on a dress, I totally didn't rate the pinky one that much! But everyone seemed to like it on me so I kept it an wore it out and now I like it too lol. ^_^
