Meal out with Family

On the 6th of December I had a quiet day in the house as I was so tired from Christmas shopping the day before - seriously, every joint in my body hurt - and then in the evening I put on some gladrags to go to Wakefield for my work Christmas do. We haven't managed to have one in ages and loads of people were really excited about it. My mum was invited too, and Lee and my stepdad, so we arranged for us to pick them up on our way. However, we were only about ten minutes away from the venue when my mum got a phone call to say the party had been cancelled! The venue had had a power cut and couldn't have us there. 

I was really annoyed because Lee and I had cancelled something else to make the party (it's a long story) and we didn't have time to go to the other event instead. Plus of course we were all hungry! So we headed into Wakefield city centre to look for somewhere to eat. We parked on Northgate and first tried one place, but they were full, and then went over to Sofra. It's a Turkish place and I've been before so I knew there were vegetarian choices for me. We managed to get a table. My mum and stepdad weren't sure what they liked of Turkish food so we advised them.

I had this spicy tomato salad thing to start with, which was really unusual and nice, I liked it. Then I had vegetable moussaka which was lovely - I would definitely get it again. We had a nice time - there were plenty of groups in and Christmas music playing. It just wasn't exactly what we had planned! We went back to my mum's house for a little bit after we'd eaten, but we weren't out very late. 

I was wearing blingy clothes for sure because I was ready for a party. This black and silver dress came from Yours over ten years ago and I forget about it for ages on end but I do really like it and think it's nice for parties. With that I paired my sparkly raspberry tights from Snag; they're kind of annoying to wear but they look good. I also went for my new pink and black Dr Marten boots because I knew I wouldn't be walking far. They don't rub so far though which is good!

I took this as we got into the Turkish restaurant just to prove I was wearing make up. I love this lipstick - it's a Models Own one from forever ago

I put this brooch on to my cardigan too. It was my grandma's and I really like it, I think I'll wear it all Christmas to be honest!

Spicy tomato salad thing - I also had bread with it

Vegetable moussaka. My mum had lamb moussaka which she liked too
