THE 10 BEST XMAS PARTY DRESSES.......

I know it's still November, but I'm already getting caught up in all the Christmas frenzy.

  One of the things I love about this time of year is the prospect of all the parties, and a chance to get dressed up.

 So I have picked out my 10 favourite party dresses that will give you the instant glam factor, but won't blow the budget........

1

METALLIC FRINGE BEADED DRESS £119.99
(until 23rd November a further 30% off) 
MANGO

Dance the night away Great Gatsby style in this perfect party dress


2





LACE DRESS WITH 3/4 SLEEVES £39.99
ZARA

A great little party dress that could be worn long after the party season with tights and boots.


3





DANIELLE DROPBACK DRESS £99
MISS SELFRIDGE

 I wouldn't do the whole see through bit (obviously), but if your young enough and have the bod to carry it off go for it, and for the rest of us, a nude slip underneath would really show off the beautiful beading.

 It need little in the way of accessories, just heels and a box clutch should do it.

4





MIDNIGHT BLUE METALLIC DRESS £34.99
MANGO 


Having a little sparkly dress in your wardrobe means you are always party ready. 


5





RHOMBUS PATTERN OPENWORK DRESS £79.99
MANGO
(until 23rd November a further 30% off) 

Girly with a twist, give it a rock chick party edge with boots and a leather jacket.

6






DARK BLUE SATIN PANEL DRESS £24.99
H & M

Show off your curves in this figure hugging style. Keep the focus on the dress with minimal accessories.

7





LACE FEATHER DRESS £130
OASIS

I love the feathers on this dress, it has a 
vintage Dior feel about it. 

8





KEYHOLE BACK MAXI DRESS £70
TTYA

Without trying too hard this quietly sexy dress
 is just smoldering. I would wear this with your highest strappy sandals, a great mani and pedi and a slick of red lippy.

9


SILVER LACE FITTED DRESS £50
NEXT 

A lace dress is timeless and will always make you feel dressed up. This one from Next is a great cut, and comes in
 sizes 6 to 20.

10





SEQUIN PANEL PLEAT DRESS £65
TOPSHOP

Who doesn't like a bit of sparkle, especially at Christmas. 

-------------

The party season means you can have a lot's of fun on the fashion front. So before you get caught up in all the
 frantic festive shopping, snap up your party dress,
 and get ready to hit the dance floor. 

Tis the season and all that.......!

------------------------

Call it what you will, this palate cleansing anti fashion has become a big trend. It's about standing out by just fitting in.

Confusing....Not really?

 It's stripped back, simpler the better muted shades, plus the classic's, grey, navy and black.The softest of knits, and beautiful basics that work for you all day, every day.

Some might say it's boring and bland, or just a new name for minimalism?

 But low key luxury is wearable, investment dressing, that I would rather hand over my credit card for, than a short lived trend, 

that has often died before it hit's the stores.
