Party Potential: Festive Dressing Begins
Now that the holiday season has
arrived, it is impossible to ignore it. I've already received more invitations
to events this year than I usually receive. Is everyone planning to party until
they pass out as we all look into the Brexit abyss? Even though this is lovely,
the idea of dressing up makes my heart ache. I'm searching for a dress that
will be comfortable to
wear while working hard and get me through.
Red Party Dress
This week, when I was rushing around
Selfridges, I found myself at the Me + Em section (it sometimes happens). I
adore how this brand has a mature appearance yet is nevertheless sloppy,
contemporary, and unconcerned. Nothing shouts Christmas more than red; just the
colour itself signals that you're in a festive mood. A red collection caught my
eye on the rails. You could pair one of those gorgeous shirts from Kitri, which
I mentioned last week, with a lovely pair of wide-leg evening trousers in
thick, double-sided crimson satin crepe.
Evening Dress
However, the evening shirt dress with
its sporty satin sleeve stripe and zip front detail stole my heart. You can
complete the look by pairing it with some stylish
sneakers (perhaps something a little more glam than these white ones).
It can also be machine washed (just writing this makes me feel like my mum,
circa 1970 talking about anything bought from M&S).
Boden Partywear
If you want a little more leopard
print, Boden offers a nice holiday dress that I believe will be a popular
choice this season (you'll see it all over Barnes). I enjoy the Boden partywear
selection every year, which this year is all about Meghan Markle and The
Vampire's Wife. Although the velvet is always a terrific value, this year it
comes in a printed velvet with a bird pattern. I called to ask if they were
still making the velvet trouser
suit in cheerful colours. The red dress currently prevails. If I come
across anything better, I'll let you know.
Final Thought
I hope you
