Is this a good outfit for a work Christmas party?

According to my 4 year old it’s horrible. But then I don’t fancy going dressed as Elsa…

FWIW I look nothing like the model… 5ft 3, size 8 (10 on bottom), red hair.

I haven’t been out out in so long, I’ve forgotten how to dress.

Is this a good outfit for a work Christmas party?

I think it’s lovely!

I think it's lovely too!

maa32 · 05/12/2021 19:40

I love it, wish I could pull it off

ILoveShula · 05/12/2021 19:40

There probably won't be any 4 yr olds at the party

The outfit will be fine

Bellyups · 05/12/2021 19:42

I’m not keen. It doesn’t really say ‘party’. More brunch with the girls. I think it’s a little underwhelming

I don't like that style of trouser. Faux leather baggy trousers always look like bin bags to me.

The top is lovely.

I think it’s really nice and will go well with your red hair. It’s probably too dark from 4 years old pov and of course very far from Elsa.

I think it is really nice. I have only two worries:

  1. Your ankles will be really cold
  2. Your phone needs charging very urgently!!!

Yes nice - long as you are somewhere warm

Last time I got dressed up to go to a Christmas party my then 5 year old said "I like your outfit Mummy, you look like a ninja". So I wouldn't put much stock in the wee one's opinion 😂
(I went out wearing my ninja outfit)

GraceJonesBiggestFan · 05/12/2021 20:28

Ha! Standard with my ancient phone! Thanks.

Wow! You must look amazing for brunch… I’d be rocking up in dirty jeans Blush

It's great

Avarua · 05/12/2021 20:42

It's cool but it's not very formal. Depends on your workplace culture I guess. My old workplace (city) was super fashion-forward and glamourous. New workplace (island country) is jandals and shorts to every event!

LucyFox · 05/12/2021 21:02

The top is nice but I don’t like the trousers at all. If you are only 5ft3 they may sit in an awkward place on you - definitely not cropped

satci · 05/12/2021 21:08

I'd do that top with black skinny jeans and high heels but then I'm not the height of fashion.

WouldBeGood · 05/12/2021 21:10

Looks great! Perfect for a work Christmas do. Love it

Porfre · 05/12/2021 21:10

For a Christmas do I'd expect sparkle

It seems a bit dull. But if you like it go for it!

Laufeythejust · 05/12/2021 21:12

I think it’s lovely but you might be a bit cold walking from bar to bar with your ankles out.

mrshoho · 05/12/2021 21:14

I love the top. I like the trousers too but don't know that they would work with your height. What about a little skirt?

You’d be horrified to see what I’m wearing to my Christmas party 😂
WouldBeGood · 05/12/2021 21:21

Cold ankles 🤣
