Dinner Party in Navy Blue...

Hi everybody!

Life has become so much easier since I own a smartphone! For many things, like for looking up recipes at the supermarket, catching trains in time and also for blogging! I never bothered to take my camera with me anywhere, and now, with my phone, I always have one on me! Given, the quality is not as good, but I can take snapshots whenever and wherever and share them and I hope you like it!

So last week I had to go to a company dinner. The dress code was Cocktail - which means short, elegant dresses for ladies and dark suits for men. Since I didn't have anything to wear (really, I swear!) I went dress shopping last week.

I went to my usual stores: H&M, Esprit and Zara and I didn't find anything. I was about to give up when I saw the Mango sign. I usually never find anything at Mango because the cuts are too petite for my not so petite body, especially at the shoulders tops never fit me properly.

But, surprise surprise, I found something, and even on sale:

I realize you can't see much of the dress :-D so here it is from their homepage:

It was 50% off the retail price, so I ended getting it for 24,99 euro. I added a chain belt from Zara to give it more structure.

I also added a blazer, also from Mango, it's this one here, for 49,99 euro:

Shoes were these Mary-Janes-heels from Guess, I wrote about them here, I have a black and a red version (and to be honest, also a nude version...)

 

 

I actually ended up changing them for black booties, because it was snowing heavily that evening and the streets were snow-covered and icy!

For earrings I picked these ones out at SIX, vaguely remembering the shade of the dress...

 ...and the nail polish was MAC Rain of Flowers:

 Hope you liked my "business outfit of the day" :-)
