I can't believe I forgot to do the Sunday Style Steal last week! It just completely slipped my mind, probably because I was working or something. But this week I've remembered and have had no trouble in finding someone's style to steal!
On November 1st, it's officially Christmas at work and the guests celebrate every week. It's really weird celebrating it so early and it's also weird how the guest pretend it's Christmas Eve/Day and New Year and actually celebrate. Little creepy? My hours will probably drop quite a bit as we close at lunch times, so that will be a bit of a problem, what with the fact I haven't done any Christmas shopping yet!
Anyway, I've not exactly been up to much. On Wednesday Vince and I are off to watch Paranormal Activity 3 at the cinema. It probably won't be much good, but I actually enjoyed the last two, so fingers crossed. We're going to be going for a meal beforehand as well. :) We're not celebrating an occasion or anything, sometimes it's just nice to go out for a meal and do something different.
Enough about me! For this week's SSS I have chosen the stylish Leighton Meester who I have spotted a lot recently wearing some really great outfits. The outfit caught my eye due to the skirt which is similar to one I've featured in my Wednesday Wishlist posts, I also absolutely love her hair!
Leighton wore this Jason Wu Spring 2012 outfit to the Jimmy Choo 'Icons' Collection in New York recently and I love it's casualness and it's ability to still look smart and dressy at the same time. The outfit consists of a black and white petal print blouse and silk 'rise and fall skirt'. She has worn Jimmy Choo platform heels of course and carries a Jimmy Choo 'Cameo' clutch. Obviously we don't all have the money for such designer gear but I've found a few more affordable copycats on the highstreet!
I've added the necklace in for a bit of contrasting colour against all that black, but overall it's a lovely outfit. Something to wear in the day as well as the evening/night time. I really love the skirt and wouldn't have thought about pairing it with a blouse like this!
