I really love this dress - and would love to be wearing this when we go out for Christmas lunch https://www.monsoon.co.uk/shola-bow-sequin-mini-tunic-dress-black-10018820001.html

I would like to wear my hair up - and would want an accessory - open to suggestions - and I'd wear black sandals with this - but would like to know which ones (I'm 5'2 and would like some height)

Both would look gorgeous but I have found the PERFECT pair... brown satin slingbacks with silver embellishments. Carrie Bradshaw eat your heart out.

This is lovely but after an ankle fracture, heels are out - what kind of flats would look great ?

Oh no, poor you! But the good news in, festive flats are BIG this winter. I'd go for a pair of metallic gold ballet flats for a classic look, or for something bolder, add interest with a pair of leopard print velvet flats!

I have voted cosy and cute. I am usually more of a trousers girl but I really like this for a festive drink out. My questions for styling - what colour jewellery would you wear and what pieces.. I'm thinking gold? I also prefer the boots rather than the flats in the models images, I'd wear black boots with it I think.

Love this dress with flat boots, it also looks great with these kitten heel boots for a more smart-casual look. I would also go for gold jewellery, these molten gold hoops are my go-to right now

Love this mini dress - I’m 59 & haven’t worn heels in a long time so wondering how to style it?

What's not to love? Have seen this irl and I 💜it but this being MN, I am renaming it Bess the Gingerbread Woman Knit Jumper. As to styling, jeans and red or cream trainers.

I have lost 2.5 stone this year, and looking for a more versatile wardrobe. I'd go for a outfit that I could dress up or down. Afternoon tea with my sister, Christmas drinks with the girls. Then something I could wear to the pub with dh

These trousers
https://www.monsoon.co.uk/vera-wide-leg-velvet-trousers-red-10018320040.html

With this top
https://www.monsoon.co.uk/imogen-lace-insert-blouson-blouse-ivory-10080220016.html

Ì could then dress the trousers down with a black tshirt and pair the top with some dark blue / indigo wide leg jeans

I bought this a while ago but it's hanging in my wardrobe unworn. Any tips on how to style it up & down appreciated.

https://www.monsoon.co.uk/anne-leopard-print-bow-jacket-brown-20002870012.html

Edited

Such a cool piece! I would style it up with tailored trousers, kitten heel boots and a velvet bag or down with barrel leg jeans, a white tshirt and black loafers

I love a classic which I could wear again - I really like this
https://www.monsoon.co.uk/fallon-floral-embroidered-velvet-mini-dress-blue-20003800003.html

Not sure about a nude leg though -I'd go to sparkly black and a full shoe ?

A 10 denier tight and these gold mary jane heels would look amazing with this dress!

I love this - it's a real showstopper https://www.monsoon.co.uk/fia-floral-embroidered-velvet-kimono-black-20003630001.html
I'd wear this with a black feather Alice band and black sparkly tights.

I'd pick out the colour of the gold trim with a metallic clutch for a lovely elegant look. Or if you're after something more playful, I'd lean into the burgundy colours with this floral embellished statement piece!

This dress is gorgeous!!
https://www.monsoon.co.uk/josie-floral-embroidered-velvet-midi-dress-copper-10004490027.html
Still finding a new style that works for me postpartum- love this shape and colour, and it looks like it would be comfy to wear!
Not sure on shoes though, don't think the boots on the model would work on me, maybe some flat shoes?
