Anyone bought an outfit for Christmas parties yet!

[NaturalBlondeYeahRight]

Mine is super early this year, I got a great one last year from this board. Personally I prefer sleeves (not a fan of my arms)
Seen anything good?

Gin have a look at the Asos Marketplace. I bought an 80's quality street style dress with shoulder pads and all for about £20 - put my hair in a banana clip and felt like Crystal Carrington

[peachypetite]

Wow I love that Zara dress!

I knew I shouldn't have clicked on this thread. Might have bought the Zara dress.

[millifiori]

That Zara dress is gorgeous.
Evil you win the prize for finding the one M&S thing each year that is a gorgeous classic among the heaving tat. That's lovely.
I might need them both.

I love the feathery mules at start of thread but just don't want to spend nearly £200. Does anyone know anywhere that does a cheaper version of something similar?

[OublietteBravo]

I got this in the sale for £60.

I'm struggling to work out what shoes to wear. I can only manage heels if they are firmly attached to my feet, and can't manage backless shoes at all. Any suggestions?

[millifiori]

how about heeled ankle boots would work fine with those, Oubliette.

[OublietteBravo]

Ooooh - I'll give that a go. I have some black heeled ankle boots from a couple of years ago that I've barely worn. It would be awesome to get away without spending any extra money!

[Lj8893]

I love this but I'm a large chested, big tummied size 18 so not sure if it would work!!

[Rhodes2015again]

Missbeehiving -really like both the Jessica wright and the Wallis dress.

[LipstickHandbagCoffee]

I never buy a special outfit for Xmas.I am surprised other people do,didn’t think this was a thing..

[overitalready]

These are my 3 ordered for trying on

[Bokky]

I’ve bought this:

www.tesco.com/direct/ff-glitter-bell-sleeve-dress/361-9058.prd

It’s been catching my eye for the last couple of weeks and looks lovely on. I’m a size 16.

[hashtagelfie]

I’ve just had a look online, god it’s all awful. I couldn’t find anything I liked. So it will be cream silk cami, black skinny jeans, sparkly flip flops, black blazer, simple silver jewellery.

[Lj8893]

overitalready where is the jumpsuit from? I love it!!

[Lj8893]

lipstick it's for xmas partys, same as people but outfits for any type of party/night out/wedding.

[LipstickHandbagCoffee]

I get what’s it’s for,I’ve just never specially bought a Xmas outfit
I think a lot of the clothes at Xmas are sparkly/gaudy or try too hard

[Lj8893]

A lot of these outfits arnt "xmas" though, they are just nice party outfits!

[overitalready]

@Lj8893 Lovely isnt it? Looks like it will hold my gut in & as the bottom is elastic im hoping the fact im
shortish wont matter.

Word on warning though it has no back = no bra!

Anyway i’ll stop waffling on - its from SilkFred

[Lj8893]

Ohhh I was dreading you were going to say something like SilkFred which won't do my size it's so lovely!

[Ginlovingmumof4]

Dancingqueen345 I love your dress - gorgeous 😍 But don't wear bear legs!

[Smellylittleorange]

I have an emerald green wrap dress ..ptetend velvet with 3/4 length batwing style sleeves from TKMAXX they had lots of velvety/velour stuff in

[Lj8893]

Oooo smelly that sounds nice!
