Something similar to this

I'm wearing a leather mini skirt, although it's from a tall range so not very mini, sheer black tights, black shoe boots and a short sleeve gold knitted jumper.

Trying to get the smart casual mix right, so hard!

This:

For the school mum's shindig.

I've also got a December birthday bash to attend, but that'll probably be coated jeans and a sparkly top job as most of the same people will be there. Either boots or sparkly shoes.

I just ordered this for mine.

That's really pretty Dinos

Not going to a works do but we have a big family get together . I'm wearing this dress www.primark.com/en/product/greem-velvet-dress,N35397177848258 with leggings and ankle boots

I'm wearing this jumpsuit from Next. Surprisingly flattering seen as how far I've grown this year and how short I am. Did have to go up a couple of sizes for my boobs. Will have to take the legs up a bit and add a popper to the front so I don't flash my coworkers.

I do feel reasonably nice in it, which considering my current appearance, helps.

*fat.

See. Bloody fat thumbs.

Ooooh seems like velvet is definitely the thing this year! Thanks for the thread this is sooo helpful. Unexpected I absolutely love that dress!

LoniceraJaponica · 19/11/2018 22:36

That link doesn't work goose

Velvet is reviled on one of the Style and Beauty threads

JaceLancs · 19/11/2018 23:07

Little black dress with gold detail on sleeves - it’s quite short so may wear with opaque tights and ankle boots
I’ve also bought a navy and gold striped sweater dress for Xmas day, which I may recycle for New Year’s Eve (party at friends)

CountFosco · 19/11/2018 23:11

For the more casual events I'll be wearing my trusty sequinned mini with cosy tights and jumper. Or my new Hush Charlie dress. Both with ankleboots. Or my ancient silk bias cut midi skirt plus slouchy cashmere jumper and knee high boots. For my works do which is dressier I've not yet decided between a red floral wrap dress from &OtherStories and an old blue polka dot skater dress from Boden. Neither very Christmassy though but good shapes for me.

Jumpsuit from Next (as long as I can lose a kg to make it look better ...) https://www.nextdirect.com/us/en/g12134s1#589819

MessyMoo · 20/11/2018 02:52

Definitely following this thread. Not so much to buy anything, but to work out what is best to dig out from the wardrobe.

Velvetq · 20/11/2018 10:12

Am wearing this (it comes off the shoulders a little less in real life) and wearing it with gold chandelier earrings, a slim gold belt around the waist and black accessories.
