Outfits for this Party Season

By  | 

2016 is coming to an end! For some people, it’s a celebration, for other’s, well we just won’t go there. So whether you’ve had the best year to date, or it’s one you’d rather forget, one thing is for sure, your event calendar is filling fast and you’re in desperate need of some party dressing inspo. From effortless day events, to glamorous night looks, I have it all worked out for you to make party dressing super easy!

EFFORTLESS LOOK

If you’re anything like me, looking effortless isn’t effortless at all. It’s the opposite actually. It’s planned, well thought out and in some cases, a little stressful! What I always come back to is that relaxed, a little bit ‘Hamptons’ look. A cotton dress, a strappy sandle and some fun, but not over the top accessories. Here are my picks:

GLAM LOOK

Christmas parties and New Years celebrations always call for a little sparkle and shimmer. I’ve chosen an embellished off the shoulder dress and metallic heels, paired with a mesh purse and tassel earrings to round off this glam look.

THE ON TREND LOOK

What better way to finish the year off with an on trend party outfit! Here I have an off the shoulder dress with knot detailing, a pair of mules, a black velvet bag with gold tassel and this year’s biggest trend – the choker.
