Dress code: smart casual
Recently I went to a private dinner held by one of my favorite beauty brands. It was so flattering to be invited and naturally, I wanted to look nice. Well, who wouldn’t? Dress code for a sit down dinner would be smart casual. But let me tell you dear readers, when dressing up for events and launches my main rule is: “Its better to overdress then go unnoticed”.
So instead of ‘smart casual jeans‘ I opted for a wide leg pants paired a leopard print blouse (also seen here) and some gold jewellery. I wouldn’t dare to rock this ensemble if I were blonde though… but since I’m a brunette now – why not? Because the reality is if you’re dressed well, its impossible to be overdressed.
Outfit details: Zara pants and leopard print blouse (old, but similar here or here), Witchery booties, Chanel inspired bag, DIY necklace, Sisley lipstick, Mimco and ASOS bracelets.

I LOVE THOSE PANTS!!! Yes, I was screaming there! Good think it’s from Zara. Might have to hunt for that.
nice outfit ..love the blouse ..
why cant blondes wear leopard? lol :)
@Amalia They can and they must! LoL But maybe with a lighter lips and less jewellery? As a former blonde, I know there is a thin line between tacky and chic. Style is such a personal thing. As soon as it all looks fantastic together and it makes you feel great there is no right or wrong, really.
@Riotersbloc – yes they are Zara, from recent collection!
Vava voom! That is an awesome blouse and I don’t normally wear/like leopard print!
