Come join my fantasy party outfit shopping challenge

[Bubbinsmakesthree]

I’m bored of having no need for nice clothes at the moment so I’ve taken to setting myself a “fantasy party outfit challenge”.

The challenge: imagine you have to buy a full outfit (clothes, shoes, bag) from one online store for a party, dressing up for dinner and drinks, or a wedding. Basically any fun occasion we can’t do right now.

The challenge is you have to buy the whole outfit for £75.

Pick any store. Choose an outfit within the budget. Show us what you have got!

M&S sale has plenty within a £75 budget at the moment.

Love this Autograph dress for £48: www.marksandspencer.com/abstract-floral-midaxi-waisted-dress/p/clp60456168

These impractical shoe-boots for £14 (willing to get cold cold toes for my imaginary dinner date!)

Bags are a bit of a challenge but this blue mock-croc will do for £9.50:

Total imaginary spend £71.50

Only £13.50 for a sparkly jumpsuit in the sale, down from £45:

Total imaginary outfit cost: £53.50

I love the M&S dress, oh how wonderful to get dressed up and go out to a bar for drinks and a restaurant for a meal!

I'd have to shop my wardrobe for boots, but I need some sparkles in my life:

Mint velvet sparkly dress

clutch

Can I blow the budget completely...never spend anywhere near this amount on dresses but very tempted by this to wear out to an imaginary party.
It keeps following me on the ads saying but me.....

That dress is phenomenal @Sickoffamilydrama - definitely blow the budget!

Ooh love the dress and sliver clutch combo @Gufo will forgive you bending the rules!

And that’s not so much bending the rules as blowing them completely out of the water @Sickoffamilydrama but that is a pretty epic dress!

This would definitely be a good year for buying party dresses in the sales - there’s some spectacular discounts.

Yes it would be a great time to buy a party dress or two I thought about looking for a couple of nice balls dresses as I normally have a few work events to attend every year but then I've over spent on normal clothes!
