Party time...

11.09.2018

Dress - Karen Millen £235
Shoes - M&S £69
Bag - Hush £79

Style Theory: It is getting towards that party season, where the little black dress comes out to play. Always chic, a black dress looks understated and cool, it is one of those party outfits that is really easy to wear and style, just throw it one with a pair of heels and a bag and go party....

This year my LBD of choice is this tux dress from Karen Millen, it has a sleek, 80s vibe that I love, masculine hints but super elegant at the same time. It skims over all lumps and bumps and is a great length to wear without tights (I am not into tights as yet and a slathering of Vita Liberata Body Blur is a life saver covers every mark on my legs and gives them a glow!)


I am wearing a size 10, it comes up a little generous but I found it fitted well on the top of my arms so not sure if a size down would be sightly tight on the arms. It is a super comfy dress, I wore a vest top underneath as it does gape a little when I sit. It feels really comfy on, in the winter I will wear it with spotty sheer tights and black heels for a real 80s look.

Add a camel coat and a pair of leopard print shoes for an easy dressed up look....these M&S shoes are leather and incredibly comfortable, the only court shoes that stay on my feet and I can successfully walk in.

I am ready....... bring on those Christmas par-ties!!!

Red Rules...

Style Theory: Grey and black, although incredibly chic can become a little lack lustre. I am feeling my monochrome wardrobe needs a shake up and a red knit will be the perfect colour pop..

A red sweater can add an eyecatching focal point to an outfit, pair it with slouchy jeans and trainers (ideally with a flash of red on them, I am a huge fan of a spot of colour matching) Or pair your jumper with grey trousers and courts for a cool work look. Aran knit style sweaters are still big news and remember to buy on the bigger side rather than fitted. If you are concerned about your silhouette wear with skinny blue jeans and heels for a slick, chic look..

Her are my favourite on the high street now...

A quick bright colour fix for you Autumn/Winter looks, I am still loving the Bella Freud sweater but will probably opt for the Zara or Uniqlo option!
