It’s that time of year when at some point you will have to leave the house, brave the cold and remember how to walk in heels.
Party season has a tendency to put the sartorial fear into the best of us, opening the floodgates for the many many questions we will have up to the moment we practically throw ourselves out the house to avoid us changing one last time.
Do you tap into the new mood for evening suits? Is it appropriate to wear that metallic mini to a work do? Not sure where you’ll end up on NYE? So many events, so many decisions.
So, to make your life that little bit easier, I’ve settled on the finest dresses and jumpsuits in stores now.
Whether you fancy velvet or something really fancy, there’s something here for every mood and occasion. I’ve trowled through ASOS (a nightmare in itself) and the rest – so you don’t have to. Just don’t ask me what bag to wear!
Happy shopping! x
