Hey everyone! So some of you may already know I had been thinking of doing this post for a while. I have decided to showcase some Christmas party outfits available in shops in Waterford City from Penneys, Topshop, River Island and more! However, I know it can be an awful effort to drag yourself out of the house to go shopping so I have also compared them to similar outfits online, which gives you the option to shop from the comfort of your own bed xx
LOOK 1 – PENNEYS
I am obsessed with co-ords and suits (check my full blog post on co-ords) as ye all know, so I instantly went for this fab navy velvet suit in Penneys. I thought this cropped pyjama top was cute and looked fab under the blazer for a more “going-out” vibe.
Blazer- €23
Trousers- €16
PJ Top- €6

I just wanted to say a big massive cringey THANK YOU to every single person who has supported my blog. I know everyone and their mother is blogging these days but as your basic 21 year old college student I was actually blown away by how supportive everyone was towards me.
) if it has taught me anything definitely just go for your goals. It’s terrifying but you only have one life and who cares what other people think? As long as your family and besties support you and know when to tell you you’re acting the eejit, that’s all that matters in the grand scheme of things!![IMG_8777[1]](https://minimintnd.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/img_87771.jpg?w=1075)
