Style Theory: My aim...A Christmas party outfit that was comfortable and a little different, involving lots of clashing textures and colours and this was the result.

| Chunky Fur Coat - Topshop £89.99 Dress - H&M £29.99 (available in-store) or similar here Leopard Print clutch - &Other Stories £19 Shoes - Dune Breanna £89 (via Debenhams) |
I tried this dress on in H&M a few months ago and loved the deep teal colour and for £29.99 it was really reasonable. The pink Dune shoes are the nearest I will get to Manolo Blahniks and look elegant on.

The Topshop faux fur coat is quite grand but I think if I am going to wear faux fur I may as well go for full drama. It is the kind of coat that looks just a good with trainers as is does with an evening dress.
The leopard print clutch from &OtherStories was a great size and I liked the authentic (faux) leopard print fur on it. Leopard print is now in the realms of a neutral, I consider it the same as black when pairing it with outfits so I know I will get plenty of use out of this.

With the husband in the lift...he is not a fan of photos!
The party was at The Corinthia Hotel, Whitehall, we stayed there too. It was stunning, extremely luxurious and a fabulous location, so central, 2 minutes from Covent Garden, across the river from the London Eye. It has one of the best Spas in London, unfortunately due to our not so good time management and a poorly little son we didn't get a chance to use it...maybe next time!

With a few more Christmas parties to go to and of course Christmas Day (although it will be not full partywear) I have a few more outfits to put together and will share them with you..
Have you had your Christmas party, what did you wear? Are you a fan of clashing up your outfits? I would love to hear your ideas, thoughts and comments, until next time Frances x
Stunning! There's no way I could pull this off, but it looks a million dollars on you. V jealous of your hotel too, looks like an amazing venue. Can't wait to see your next party outfit!

Thanks so much Becky and you could most definitely pull this look off! The hotel was a real treat, just wished we could have spent a little more time there!
DeleteYou look gorgeous Frances! Love the mix up of colour and texture....it's genius! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle xx
DeleteLove the teal and the pink colour clash. I tried on your dress the other day but sadly it does not look as good on me. And I am so in love with your shoes - I just wish they were an inch lower as I'm on the hunt for party shoes - don't need them - just want them - you know how it is!
ReplyDeleteThe hotel looks like a beautiful place for a party and you have dressed perfectly for it.
Love a bit of a colour clash, completely agree re: the shoes..an inch lower would be perfect by the end of the night my feet were sore..nearly changed into my trainers but managed to stick it out! xx
DeleteWhat a stunning look - and one that I think only you could wear successfully! Those shoes are amazing x
ReplyDeleteThanks Helen xx
DeleteOh you look stunning, those dune shoes are amazing. I also adore your lace dress, just a fabulous outfit. Lovely to see Mr SchoolRunStyle looking very daper in his black tie . My brother and sister in law stayed at that hotel last December for his work party and are returning next weekend, they said it was truly luxurious!! x

ReplyDeleteAre you interested in helping others? Can you handle and care for people who learn differently and have other behavioral problems? Do you want to make a difference in a young child's life? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then you might consider a career in special education.
