Everlong - Topshop cape playsuit and affordable studs.

This is going to be my last blog post for a few days as tomorrow I will be starting my holidays and having a few cheeky cocktails immediately after work to celebrate Scottish festivities beginning Saturday.
I'll be away for a few nights but will take pictures and no doubt update as soon as I return and am alone for more than a moment.
This is just a quick what I wore post based on the outfit I'm wearing tonight, I feel like I'm definitely getting old since I've had drinks already and am almost ready to get tucked into bed for an early work starting time tomorrow! It's the birthday of a good friend of mine today so we ventured out for food and wine for a few hours as I won't be around for the weekend celebrations. This is what I wore...
The cream playsuit I'm wearing is from Topshop, it's such a light colour I loved it immediately but tend to be terrified every single time I wear it as I seem to always be drinking red wine in dirty pubs followed by eating pasta! I think this playsuit is adorable, the cape detailing is something I loved from the moment I saw it hanging up, it's quite awkward to get on as it's literally a pull up, no buttons, no zip situation which means that it's very low cut. I am constantly on edge checking whether I am too exposed! Love it still though. It's really comfy and perfect when you're having a bit of a big day and just want to cover up. That was a problem I had when I first got it, I kept putting it on then changing my mind on outfit choice because it doesn't feel flattering when I'm not in the right mood. I know that sounds weird compared to my previous sentence but whatever, I'm a girl, I know what I mean!
I wish I got it when it was available in black as it is a winner, they sell similar on ASOS in the sale too I noticed, I don't know anyone that's bought it but it's a cheaper option.
I wore this playsuit with my trusty Topshop wedge boots, they've got a good wedge heel. Perfect for day to night they are the most comfy shoes I own. I vividly remember when I bought them, ages ago with my student loan, my mam said I'd never wear them. I kept them pristine until I wore them in London in February last year when I really gave them a spin. It turned out that we'd decided to go to London on the only snowy weekend that year and these boots happened to be the only thing I could safely walk in, they have a fantastic tread on them and while my boyfriend was slipping all over in his smooth sole shoes I was striding perfectly! They're not real leather but I think they were still a bargain at only £50 considering I still wear them a whole lot more than a year later.
I teamed these items with my studded clutch bag I bought from Primark before Christmas, I loved the Topshop version but couldn't really justify the money for a bag that is so on trend and inevitably something I'd use for a few months and then forget about it at the bottom of my wardrobe. Then I stumbled into Primark and saw this little lady smirking at me, I love it and like the tassel detail on the zip a lot. It seems pretty good quality and it's only negative is the fact that it's only a clutch and doesn't have a longer strap. I'm not really going to complain too much because it was a steal for £6.
Jewellery wise I kept it simple and just wore a gold necklace, also from Topshop. It's related to the zodiac, you know, air fire and water and all that. It's not the correct one for me, I'm a fire sign and I have a feeling this could be air. Not 100% on that though, I just liked the necklace!
I'll also post the photos of me actually wearing this outfit when I get back too!
Speak soon xoxo

P.s I had a Subway today and as it was the first one I've had in ages and it was so good I felt the need to post a picture.
