New Years Eve Outfit

It reminded me of one we had in at Whistles which I loved and since I had a £100 gift card at Primark I decided to go for it as it’s so cute and D-ring belted waists are my fave this season – so hats off to Primark for this one!

In other news, I haven’t even written about my Christmas yet, so …
