office party

[HoleyGhost]

What are you all wearing for Christmas parties? I am looking for inspiration as everything I've tried so far is either tarty or matronly. I blame my oversized norks for this.

My work party is always themed in some way. This year is 80s. There was a company wide vote and 80s beat 50s.

Not going to any Christmas parties this year but if I was I'd wear either:
my Vivienne Westwood black dress with black opaques and platforms and perhaps a sparkly collar necklace;

or black skinnies with a sequinned t-shirt and above platforms;

or black lace mini dress with sleeves, with black opaques and platforms and a big silver cuff.

For norks, VW is well worth a look.

80s style means harder work!

Thank you Remus, really helpful. Not sure I can justify the cost of VW but will definitely use those ideas!

Ive decided to wear black lace dress from ted Baker with pair of studded pumps ( no heels as im tall and all my female friends much much shorter so dont want to look like Eiffel tower!) with black opaques...going out this coming wed :)

Sounds lovely. Where are your studded pumps from? I need more studs in my life!

Office with 20% off they are lovely all leather :) true to size (just in case you order online:)

Thanks. I don't like gold though, and prefer ballet shape to slipper shape. Will keep looking.

Have a great time!

Am wearing Phase Eight Agy dress, linked it on my 'pearl necklace' thread :)

V flattering for the large of nork.

DH's office party is quite dressy so I shall wear a party dress - either last year's Warehouse purchase (blue with long chiffon sleeves), or possibly a little black velvet number I picked up at the charity shop (needs some remedial work with a needle and thread, and a statement necklace as it is quite plain).

My office do is less dressy, so I might end up wearing black coated skinnies and a sparkly top.

I don't have a norkage problem though.....

Oh to not have a norkage problem. Sigh...

Yes, so many lovely dresses, so unsuited to norkage

I'm wearing this it looks really boring in the pic but looks great on. I'm large of nork (34h) and have a small waist, big hips and it looks great on. It would also look good with a nice red belt.

I will be wearing it with my hair up nice dangly earrings and bracelet, no necklace and high heels.

I'm wearing it to 2 parties this year one I'll be doing a vintage style black flicked eyeliner, red lip and another I'll be doing a more dramatic glittery smokey eye and nude lips.

Liking the idea of going vintage with the dress - seamed stockings too? Lovely!
