Last week I had a christening and had NOTHING to wear...sooo I just had to go shopping!
And now I'm going to do a quick Fashion Haul/Christening outfit for you guys, I didn't get any pictures of the outfit on myself but I took the pictures of the outfit on my mannequin. Hope you all enjoy :D
Multicolour Floral Print Skirt
The first item I bought was this multicolour floral print skirt from Pull & Bear, I wouldn't usually wear floral print, but I decided to change up my wardrobe a bit. I wasn't sure about this skirt at first but after I tried it on I didn't want to take it off, the cut of the skirt is just so flattering, and its not too long or too short, I'm 5'1" so to me this skirt came to mid thigh. I have wide hips so usually skirts with pleats don't help me in anyway, they more or less double my hip and bottom size, which just doesn't work for me, but this skirt surprised me. If you have wide hips like me this skirt is a great pick because it is made from neoprene (same material as diving suits) so it actually gives a nice shape. I also like the way the print is not too in your face, the colours are quite subtle.
The Price was also quite affordable, it cost 24.99 Euro, and it is well worth the money because you can dress this skirt up and down and because it is high waisted I think it will be lovely with a crop jumper or top, that will be my next buy!

Cream Sleeveless Shirt
The second item I bought was a cream sleeveless shirt from New Look, When I bought the skirt the next thing I needed to get was something for the top half and believe me it took me ages to actually find something that looked good with it, I wanted a cream top because I felt there was enough colour and patterns in the skirt and I didn't want to go over board, but I eventually found this cute shirt in New Look, I love the gathered feature on the shoulder area, I think it just adds a nice look to the plain shirt. Iv had cream shirts before but I hated the fabric they were made from because it felt so cheap and it was the type of fabric that got caught in everything and the treads were easily pulled but I loved the material that this shirt was made from, it has a soft and silky feel and has a really nice flow. This shirt cost 14.99 Euro which I think is a bargain because Iv paid at least 20 euro in the past for shirts which weren't great quality. The necklace is not part of the shirt just an accessory I added.

Fitted Pink Blazer
This Blazer I didn't buy, my mum actually had bought this a while back and forgot she had it, and I just happen to come across it (score!!) I was delighted because the colour went perfectly with the skirt. It looks quite big on the mannequin but my mannequin is a size 8 and the blazer is a 12, but it is really fitted which I love because blazers that aren't fitted just don't suit me at all. My mum bought this blazer in Dunne Stores which is an Irish shop, and I couldn't find a price because it was bought a while back. I think everyone should own a blazer they are just a great item to have in your wardrobe and they never go out of style!

Gold Rail Necklace
I bought this necklace in Penny's (Primark) a while back but I wear it with almost all of my shirts, I think I paid 5 Euro for it, I don't like paying loads of money for jewellery because I ALWAYS seem to break or lose them, I have expensive necklaces and I'm actually afraid to wear them, so they are still in their boxes! I love big necklaces on shirts because I like to tuck them under the collar to add a nice feature to a pain shirt.
Nude Patent T-Bar Platform Court Shoe
My favourite part of an outfit is the shoe! I use any excuse to but a new pair of shoes! I had to go buy new shoes for this outfit because I didn't own any nude shoes, most of my shoes are black for some reason and very high, I love platform shoes, so this was a strange buy for me because they don't have a platform or a big heal. I have to say these shoes were very comfy and didn't hurt my feet after 10 minutes of wearing them. I love the strap on the shoe I think its a cute feature almost dolly like, and it just makes them so easy to walk in because you are not afraid that they are going to fall off and you are going to fall on your face which in my case seems to happen a good bit!. The heel is just under 5" and they cost 35.00 Euro which wasn't too expensive compared to other shops looking for 60 Euro!

Compete Outfit
This is the complete outfit (without shoe) again the blazer looks too big on the mannequin. I just loved how the whole outfit came together, This is probably the most brightest outfit I own, I have a habit of buying black and grey clothes, but I have made a promise to myself that I'm going to start brightening up my wardrobe!
Well that is me for my Christening/fashion Haul, I hope you all enjoyed, and once I have my YouTube set up I will do a video for this outfit to show you all what it looks like on :)
Thank you all for reading, leave a comment with your opinion :)
