Well, it’s that time of year again…the work Christmas party! They seem to start earlier every year and for most it's a chance to get dolled up. Mine is happening this weekend and unlike previous years I am determined to only shop my wardrobe for my party outfit this year. One thing I am not lacking is dresses!
At the moment it seems highly possible I will be wearing a red dress to this years party, though my mind could change at any point. To go along with this dress I’m thinking a dark smokey eye. The smokey eye is a staple of mine on nights out, however, I always go for the brown smokey eye and this time I’d like to try a black smokey eye. One slight problem here…. black eyeshadow scares me! I feel like if I make one wrong move I’ll end up with panda eyes or like a child who got into her mother’s makeup case, and neither look is really what I’m going for. Hopefully over the next few days I can figure out how to overcome my fear of black eyeshadow, time to watch some YouTube tutorials I think! If anyone has any tips on the black smokey eye please feel free to share. Anywho, I’m sure I shall post a blog about the final outfit choice next week.
Now, just because I’m poor being sensible and not spending my money on dresses I don’t need doesn’t mean I can look, just some online window shopping if you will. After a quick trip over to Asos (oh how I love to browse the Asos website) I thought I’d share just a few fab party dresses that caught my eye…
Gotta love some sparkle for a party dress. I love this black one shoulder dress
and this gold dress.
You can't go wrong with some sparkle at Christmas time but for some people (me included) too much sparkle can be a bit daunting so I'm loving the lace trend this year. This dress is fab,I love the sleeves,they add a sexy,almost mysterious, edge and still cover your arms (a sensitive area for a lot of us!)
And since Christmas time is a great time for a red dress (but then you can never go far wrong with a red dress at any party) this is a great option. It's a good length for those of us who are a bit self conscious about our legs and the textured/ribbed material is ever so flattering.
For me this year though,my money is staying in the bank and I'm shopping from my wardrobe for my Christmas do. I'd love to hear what everyone else is planning on wearing this year......Going with something you already own? Splashing out on something new? Let me know!
