Christmas outfit help please

[DigOfTheNordicFirStump]

I need something suitable for Christmas works do (daytime, nice lunch,drinks, dress code anything you like) and would also like to wear it to a few other events.

I like dresses, but am happy with mix and match.

Am 5ft 4ins, probs heading more to size 14 than 12 if I am honest, and have a budget of up to £60. I don't particularly like satin and sequins, and don't want a little black dress, as I often wear variations of that to work anyway.

Any ideas very gratefuly received.

So far I like this.

I prefer the blue dress - you could dress it up with nice accessories and jewellery and wear it for weddings etc to get more wear out of it. The black one is a bit Christmassy so you may not get as much wear out of it. Not keen on the floral one personally.

Thanks - i like these too
