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.

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.
I am obsessed with that belt. And I nominated you for an Irish Blog Award so woooo!
Good plan Leah, I hope to remember to borrow it when I’m 70…
Thanks so much Lyndsay! That’s lovely of you, allow me to return the kindness!
