Parents Evening

So I'm off to parents evening (should be called afternoon seeing as it's a 4.40pm appointment) shortly and I always look forward to these .. especially as my little one is only 5. I love it when the teacher matches his character to how we know him. So what to wear to sit opposite his YOUNG, GORGEOUSLY BEAUTIFUL teacher who is such an inspiration to the class?

 UPDATE: ran out of time to post this prior to parents evening so it's now 2 hrs later - one proud mummy who is having a glass of wine to celebrate her sons achievements in Yr 1 - wahoo, go Oliver.

 Back to post written 2 hrs before .....

 I had to also factor in a working from home day and a meet and greet with some shops I am working with tomorrow at a styling event (more on that tomorrow). Oh and a cheeky little nail pamper session with the lovely Zoe.

 It was hard to photograph this dark outfit due to crap lighting in my room, even crapper little people around to take photos and crap mirror - all in all a bit of a crap one today in terms of the visual.  That is, until, you see my new purchases - check me out with the last one to jump on the statement necklace band wagon but totally worth the wait IMHO...

 New Mango Jeans, very long and I super love them - only £11.99 in their sale RIGHT NOW!
Tunic/Top is ASOS last year
Boots are from New Look about 3 years ago (helpful not)


Was going to wear these heels (TK Maxx last year) but it was just too cold so kept boots on all day. I promise you that's a weird crease and NOT my camel toe.


Added poncho for parents evening because it was cold


Whilst in town it would have been rude NOT to purchase these right?


AND HELLO BEST THING I'VE BOUGHT THIS WEEK! The statement necklace has arrived


What about my nails? I love the colour I've chosen this time and here's hoping they last as long - 1 month last time wahoo!


So, do you have a favourite statement necklace? Would love to see how you wear yours on Avenue 57 - I'm wondering how to wear this beast now I actually have it!

Fiona

    My statement necklace turned out to be a Bollywood diva's dream rather than the chunky but understated one I had hoped for. I can't wear it in daylight for fear of blinding unsuspecting passers by!

    I love that top on you Fiona - it's such a shame that you had to cover it up because it is so damned cold at the moment!!! Those jeans are a brilliant buy for you but that means they are way too long for me then.

    Now do I have a statement necklace at home? Yes. Maybe I'll do a show and tell one day on the blog in the monster that I have.

    The nails are good - they look like Chanel's Particuliere.

      yes jeans only for the 5ft 9 and above - really long/borderline too long but I love the long jean look.

      Yes do a statement blog, I am like and addict for statement necklaces at the moment!

      Nails, I love them short and blunt and I'm REALLY pleased with the colour

      Thanks Jamie-Lee. I tried the earrings on last night but they are quite heavy - I shall suffer though!
