Denim Dazed

Girl's Day Out is held in Glasgow every year on the run up to Christmas. It is the perfect place to do some Christmas shopping as there are loads of different beauty and fashion related brands on offer at the show. My flatmate Rachel is from Glasgow and has attended the show with her mum lots of times in the past, so she suggested that Katie and I went with her this year.

The event was held at the SECC and the venue was filled with hundreds of women all wearing incredibly different and interesting outfits., with women from all ages and very much on trend. The events choice of colour was hot pink, which did not make for great lighting, so apologies for the next few photos.

Surprise, I'm wearing a pair of trainers, I was going to wear my heeled boots with this outfit but decided to opt for comfort over fashion, maybe a bad idea when attending a fashion event. Black was the colour of choice for my outfit, and was a very popular choice with the show visitors. I wore my black trainers as they matched my outfit and were super comfy to spend the day in. I also brought a large handbag so I would be able to fit all my purchases in, so I wouldn't have to carry around any extra bags. 

Dress - River Island // Waistcoat - New Look // Bag - River Island // Watch - Skagen

Rachel's outfit revolved around black as well, adding the waistcoat added an extra bit of detail and some subtle colour. The waistcoat was the perfect addition as it wasn't too warm for the venue.

Katie's outfit was very on trend for this season, as the black jeans, with multiple rips, are very popular just now. Katie also revolved her outfit around black, although the mustard coloured bodysuit added a blast of colour to the outfit, that made it stand out that little bit more. The pink lipstick Katie wore also added some extra colour to her overall look, the yellow and the pink really worked together to create a contrasting effect.

I really enjoyed the day out and even got some really good deals, I managed to get five pairs of lashes  for only a tenner! I also bought some really cute pressed glitter eyeshadows in a soft silver colour and a rose gold, along with the glue to stick it to your eyelids. I would highly recommend everyone go to the Girls Day Out, you can treat yourself to some goodies and even get a few christmas presents while you're there.

I was in Glasgow with my friends to see Gorgon City (who are a house and electronic duo), luckily two of my friends, who I was there with are from Glasgow and were able to show me around, so I could see the city from their point of view and make sure I didn't get lost (which would most definitely happen to me). They showed me places that I would never think to venture to if I was in the city on my own.

Let's start with the trainers, the perfect footwear for a city since there is so much walking to be done, and we all certainly walked a lot this day. They also allow both outfits to be very casual, if either of these outfits had been worn with heels they would instantly become very formal and you could easily go on a night out dressed like this! However, since we were going to a concert it was a much more laid-back situation, clothes wise. Although the weather was quite chilly, a light jacket was also an essential, as the concert venue was gonna be extremely hot and carrying around a big, heavy jacket was not ideal, especially when you just wanna be dancing around and having a good time.


Glasgow is well known for being full of very distinct fashion choices. When we were on our walk to the concert, I spotted people who were filming in the middle on the street. They stood out to me as their outfits were so different to anything I normally see. This gives them an identity and lets them stand out, which is the whole point of fashion! Each one of them brings something a bit extra to their outfit; the guy on the left has upturned his trousers and used layering to add interest to the outfit, the girl has her headphones around her neck using them as an accessory and finally the guy on the right has added a beanie to his outfit. Unfortunately I did not get the chance to ask them where their clothes were from, but it just makes the outfits even more intriguing.


I really enjoyed my time in Glasgow, even though it was a flying visit. I briefly explored a city I have not visited very often. When I do it's only ever to go shopping! It's full of fashion choices that  you can only find in a big city like Glasgow. I highly recommend everyone visits and make sure you look out for all the unique fashion choices!
