A had the pleasure of having a rather rare date night with Salvatore on the weekend, which was lovely and well overdue. A night together, Mexican food, a few glasses of rose and no interruptions was just sheer bliss. I knew I wanted to make a little effort, as I kinda love that man of mine, so I grabbed my newest dress, the khaki version of the Lola dress (I have the abstract print here, which i banged on about for weeks) which I had in my capsule wardrobe. I haven’t included anything super dressy in my capsule as my life doesn’t tend to call for it. But this dress was perfect for a relaxed meal out together.
I paired it with my beloved biker jacket and ankle boots and a new Yosa tassel necklace that I’m besotted with
All Finished off with my rather snazzy new HButler bag that is worth its weight in gold… scroll down and see for yourself!
If you spend copious amounts of time on your phone like me, then this amazing HButler Bag is about to become a life saver. Discreetly inside is a power-bank for your phone (of which it can charge any smart phone as it has all adaptors), it can be left in the bag or removed (and recharged of course). What I loved is that it was so slim it doesn’t effect the appearance of the bag at all… I mean its a gorgeous leopard print bag regardless, but with the power-bank too? Well talk about genius!
My phone has so much stuff on it now ( I know I know, I desperately need to clean it), plus I’m one of those annoying people who has it constantly attached to her hand, so by 3pm the charge is on its way out. This little bag produced enough to keep my phone going all evening.
Its really makes my phone habits a lot easier knowing I have some charge if i need it is a complete dream. Gone are the days of having a flat battery 😉
Plus the bag is really gorgeous.
So there we have a little date night look from my capsule wardrobe.
I’m very much looking forward to styling this dress with bare legs and my Stan smiths or better yet, some nice sandals.
Next week, I shall be giving you a full run down of how I’m finding my #RtHCapsuleWardrobe and all the outfits so far.. Spoilers.. I’m loving it! Like love love love it.
Also if you’re ever interested in reading about what’s in my capsule and my reasons behind it, I’ve created a tab at the top of the page which will help!
