Aussie Curves - Celebrate (good times)

cel-e-brate

verb

1. Mark (a significant or happy day or event), typically with a social gathering
2. Do something enjoyable to mark such an occasion

This weeks challenge is the first for new 2013/2014 list. And to do justice to both the occasion and the new list, I bring you two celebration outfits.

The first is the outfit that I wore to the Aussie Curves first birthday celebrations event at The Clock hotel at Surry Hills.

I have been searching for the perfect pair of black pants - ones that work for work and as "going out" pants - and finally I managed to find them. I loved them so much that I even bought a second pair. And the pants? They are the Black Cigarette Pants by Wonderlust from The Iconic. Great cut. Great material. So comfy but classy.

I teamed the pants with a "animal print" long jumper thing from Piper Woman at Myer and a pair of black heeled low ankle boots from Wittner.

I included my new Oroton handbag which I am in love with - stylish, small and has a shoulder strap.

Whilst I liked the individual pieces and my eye makeup, my hair was not cooperating that night and the overall outfit didn't fully work for me....
I arrived at the Clock Hotel, fashionably late as there is NO PARKING in the inner city, to find that Dani had organised a great spot on the balcony upstairs with comfy chairs and mood lighting. I missed happy hour - thanks to the traffic and the parking situation - but still bought my one allowed drink - a Fuzzy Typewriter cocktail.
We chatted about ourselves - as some of us had never met in real life before - and of course, fashion.
We sampled some of the food from the bistro - I had a very yummy BBQ Brisket Burger; and shared the amazing cake decorated by the talented iCurvy.
It was a great evening; with new friends.

Celebrate Part 2...............to be continued.

And here it is:

I wore my "sequins" week outfit to celebrate a close friend's 30th in the city. My original outfit (pants and a sequin top and jacket) did not work for me and I chose this one at the last minute.
