Fashion: OOTD - Day 24 - Dressing it Down.

I really wanted to wear my green formal skater dress today - but I felt it's a bit too formal for college; and the weather isn't the warmest! Therefore, I created this outfit by dressing down this classic skater dress to create an outfit perfect for college. 

I started with this dark green skater dress (Primark, £8) and black wool tights (Asda, £4) to create an autumnal base for the outfit. I then dressed it down with my denim jacket (Matalan a long time ago!) and my Star Wars Vans (£36.99, Vans Outlet Store) to make it comfy and more casual for college.

For my jewellery, I just wore my Fatima hand necklace from Marrakesh, and I left my hair in it's curls for carnival tonight and tied back my fringe into a half-up ponytail. Finally, I kept my makeup simple with just a shimmer copper eyeshadow (Urban Decay Toasted from the Naked 1 palette), black winged liner, mascara and a fun hot pink lip (Essence Oh my blush!) to finish off the look.

I love my dresses, but most of them are too formal for day to day use. I love to create looks like this and dress them down so I can feel comfortable wearing them all the time and not just for formal events!
