Big Night Out: Expectation Vs. Reality

The outfit-planning. The choice of destination. The build-up. It doesn't take much convincing for us to get involved in a Big. Night. Out.  Like most of our readers, we've had a fair few of these over the years, and to this day they never quite seem to meet our expectations. Here's our take on expectation versus reality when it comes to a big night out. 1. Applying your make-up Expectation:  I will be flawless. Reality: Not so much. 2. Deciding what to wear Expectation: There are so many fantastic options in my wardrobe. Reality: Not so much. 3. The pre-drinks Expectation: Just a few cheeky ones with the girls to get the night started. Reality: Oops. 4. Arriving at the nightclub Expectation: We'll strut to the centre of the dancefloor. Reality: Straight for drinks. 5. When someone spills a drink all over you Expectation: That won't annoy me too much. Reality: Can't even. 6. How you look on the dancefloor Expectation: Beyonce has nothing on me. Reality: It's not pretty. Or sometimes it looks like this. Depending on the form. 7. What you look like when the lights come on in the club Expectation: Flawless. Reality: Sweaty times. Sprite, the truth is refreshing.
