Are you ready to say goodbye to 2019? I was planning a quiet one at home, but I’ve had an impromptu invite to a friend’s party 🙂 I ended up staying an extra day at my mum’s so only got back today. As I wasn’t expecting to go out I hadn’t planned what to wear…which got me thinking about putting together a last minute outfit.
A headband is always a good solution for messy hair; I have one similar to this in mustard which I wore in yesterday’s post. It matches my striped top perfectly, which I’ve teamed with velvet culottes. I last wore these on the blog just over a year ago with a velvet jacket and red blouse. They’re really comfortable and great for dressing up for the festive season. I’ve added polka dot shoes and a matching bag, plus a simple pearl bracelet and earrings to finish off the look. For a last minute outfit I’m quite pleased with this combination of polka dots, stripes and pearls!

We stayed in, too. It’s just so much easier and I hate sleeping through the first third of the next day :/ I love the way you’ve combined the stripes and polka dots – they just work so well together. And I think it’s amazing that your gorgeous headband goes with that top! Velvet culottes – I love them! You look beautiful! Thank you so much for the linkup! All the best in 2020!
