One more shoot post from Ciúin Tracey, bit of a crazy/evil/demented take on a regular ball-going ‘ensemble’…There are just so many images from the shoot so these posts may continue for quite some time! Thank you Ciúin!

.My friend and I were just talking about the kind of stuff we wear on a night out, and how maybe we should ‘tone it down’ a bit…then I decided, well no, when I’m 70-odd, I’ll look back at my 20-odd year old self and say - ‘why the hell didn’t you go even crazier you silly girl.’ So in conclusion, I dress the way I do on a night out in order to keep my future self  satisfied. As good a reason as I can muster.

Gown - Around €120.00 Karen Millen, Kildare Outlet Village.

Belt - €15.00 Bay Trading

Feather Bolero - €5.00 Sue Ryder Charity Shop, Kilkenny.

Image by Ciúin Tracey. Post-production by me.

P.S I am going to start doing the normal macbook camera outfit posts again though, as I don’t tend to wear ballgowns toddling about the place on a day to day basis..well, maybe every second day..

    Beautiful! And I agree about the future self stuff - I’ve often thought that - but I plan to dress more demented when I’m 70 because people will just assume that I actually have dementia.

  12. Lyndsay says:

    I am obsessed with that belt. And I nominated you for an Irish Blog Award so woooo!

  13. blanaid says:
