Looking Leggy
Centre: Floral jumpsuit £55 M&S, sandals £50 Moda In Pelle, bag £19.99 Lindex
Right: Pink jumpsuit £140 AQ/AQ, bag £30 ASOS, earrings £6.99 H&M
Strut up to the party in super slimming tailored trousers this year. I adore this two piece from Topshop and these flattering all in ones from Marks & Spencers and AQ/AQ that provide maximum impact. These gorgeous and uber high-fashion accessories are the finishing touches to make your outfit really interesting. The best thing is that these outfits are all ageless and appropriate for any confident lady!
Lady-like Glam
Right: Sleeved dress £115 Reiss
Extra Extra
Can a leopard change its spots?
Leopard print has lost its trashy stigma and is just a beautiful print for all women now (and some men too!) I love the different colour Whistles has chosen for this midi dress and I would elevate this MICHAEL Michael Kors dress by replacing the tie belt with a black leather one that dons a stylish buckle for evening glam. Check out my 3 ways to wear a slip dress blog for ideas on how to style up this leopard number by Mint Velvet.
Golden Girl
All That Shimmers
Centre: Strappy dress £65 Y.A.S. Ellie
Right: Sleeved dress £229 Fenn Wright Manson
These 3 totally different dresses show how gold can work for black tie, disco and cocktail events! At this time of year more is more and you can shine bright.
Get Strappy
Middle: Mid-heel strappy sandals £29.50 M&S
Bottom: Cut out stilettos £34 Joy
The Mrs Clause Suit
Winter Blossom
Right: Organza shirt dress £189 Maje
Florals for winter? Groundbreaking! Don’t be afraid to be feminine and try a bold floral print. You’ll likely be the only one doing florals plus it gives you loads of opportunities for tying in your accessories and make up look. Try picking out a colour from the pattern to feature instead of resorting back to ever-safe black.
The Shoe Maketh the Look
Middle: Gold sandals £23.99 New Look
Bottom: Chunky sandals £139 Jigsaw
The pointier the toe the sexier the shoe and these boots are proving it! However there are more comfortable ways to finish off your party look. Kitten heels have made a huge comeback over the summer and metallic sandals like these ones really look cute! Opt for a chunky heel with an ankle strap if you need more support but bare in mind that an ankle strap does make your legs look shorter – this means they work best with a high waited outfit.
A Mini Moment
Centre: Belted dress £280 Sandro
Right: Embellished dress £100 Little Mistress
The Jewel of the Party
Killer Side-Tie
Right: One shoulder dress £135 AQ/AQ
