Gem and Jo's Mini Fashion Haul

Okay so on the 1st of September Gem is turning 20 and is having a little party in a local place to celebrate. Turning 20 may not seem like such a big deal to everyone but to Gem it really signifies the end of childhood and she has even taken to calling it 'twenteen' instead to hide from the fact that people will expect her to act like an adult.

To make Gem feel better about becoming old, we went shopping for the perfect dress and shoes for the party, however after going to literally every shopping centre we had barely found anything! We went to Liffey Valley, Dundrum, Blanchardstown and Dublin City Centre all in one day and we had looked in nearly every shop! It was more of a workout than a shopping trip!  
Luckily we found a really cute dark teal dress in Forever 21 for Gem and it was an absolute bargain at only €20.00!!!

While Jo was helping Gem search through forever 21, she got a little caught up in the shopping as well and found a gorgeous little burgundy dress. It was just calling out to her, but we were a little on the fence about it as it is a kinda short (Jo is 5'7 so things tend to look a bit shorter on her). But she decided to buy it anyway and boy is she glad she did (It didn't turn out to be as short as we thought). Although Jo doesn't plan to wear this to the party, the dress would look cute with tights in winter or with little sandals too! Plus it was only €12.49, how could she pass that up!

Jo is planning to pair her new dress with this apple pendant from H&M and this black cross body bag from Next,  for an easy day time, late summer look.
                                

But then came the struggle to find shoes that would go with Gem's dress and that had a chunky heel. Last summer Gem tore the ligaments in her ankle so really high heels or skinny little stilettos are a no-go! (She looks like a new born deer if she tries to walk!) Incase you guys didn't know Gemma is an absolute klutz and takes every opportunity to break some sort of bone...
Trying to find chunky heeled cute shoes was a struggle and we totally didn't realise how few shoe shops there are in the shopping centres in Dublin! 
We tried New Look, Clark's, Next and Debenhams until we finally tried Primark and hallelujah! We found a really cute pair of black heels with a platform and chunky heel which will be prefect for Gem to party the night away in!
Primark €18.00
And to make it even better, there was a black clutch bag hanging right beside the shoes that matches perfectly and is big enough to hold a little pair of flats just in case!
Primark €7.00
Gem reckons she's gonna pair the dress and shoes with a statement necklace and subtle earrings, we'll let you guys know when we find the perfect jewellery!

So that's what we picked up on our manic shopping day. It's mad how when you aren't specifically looking for something in particular you see loads of things that you think are super cute, but when you're actually searching for an outfit for a particular occasion, it can be so hard to find something. But as your teacher always told you, "if you prevail hard work will pay off" (they might not have been talking about shopping though!!!).
Hope you enjoyed today's post and as always thanks for reading.
Until next time,
XO Gem and Jo.
