Help me pick an outfit for work Christmas do? Please!

I've been surfing pinterest, and found these 3 possible outfit ideas, but need help choosing (and buying).

It's a meal in a city centre Marriott, ending at 1am (so presumably some kind of dancing after food?), possibly followed by clubbing.

Will I look like a child playing dress up in the last outfit?

Thanks!

Love both skirts you've picked, might have to get one myself! Good luck with the rest of the outfit search.

www.boohoo.com/skirts/boutique-marin-grid-tulle-full-midi-skirt/invt/dzz96810 if you haven't already ordered or the sequin ones don't work out, this tulle number looks nice from Boohoo too.

Pretty sure skirt number two is the same one I've got , bad news but it's last years stock
I bought it in the sale for £20 - too lazy lying on the couch scoffing choc to go upstairs to compare but here's picture of the one I bought X

The Boohoo skirt arrived today, and fits perfectly!

Now I just have to find a top to wear with it. :)

Id do a plain sleeveless black tank to butch it up a bit.

Might be an idea to look at the Jersey top thread. I guess you need something quite plain and black? What neckline do you prefer and would you like sleeves?

MrsFionaCharming · 09/12/2015 00:09

I think I'd like sleeves. I'm generally ok with my arms until I see them afterwards in photos.

I'm worried that I'm going to end up looking frumpy because of the skirt length.

These are the tops I've found so far:

Any thoughts? I'm so rubbish when it comes to this kind of thing!

I like the last one you have linked too. But I think something with half or 3/4 sleeves might look good. Can't see first links but I think I know what they are.
