The Office Party: Silver VS Gold
It's late November already and last week, an invite to the office Christmas party landed
in my inbox. Last years was in Holborn and I wore my usual, a crop top - a sparkly one obviously - but this year it’s at a very exclusive club in
Mayfair and that means firstly, I may have to dress a little bit smarter and secondly, I need to think about keeping warm because its a longer walk away this time and last year I was freezing! It's happening in the
first week of December which didn't leave me much time to find an outfit but luckily for me, Very were on hand with some festive pieces.
I'm all about the sparkle at Christmas time, usually you'll find
me in a lurex co-ord (thats where my sparkly crop top came from) or a sequined playsuit but for this post (and this party), I wanted
to try and find a couple of outfits that still embody the sparkle and
glamour of dressing for the festive season without being too over the top. I
decided to go with a subtle metallics theme and picked out two statement pieces from V by Very.
This first outfit could easily be worn straight from the office to the party and the statement piece I chose for this one is a rose gold, a-line mini skirt. It could be dressed down with a white tee and trainers but obviously we want to dress it up a little bit for the Christmas party! I've worn it here with a long sleeve black top and some sock boots - this is definitely the warmest of the two outfits. I love the shape of this skirt because it accentuates the smallest part of my waist which always makes me feel confident, even if I’m feeling particularly bloated that day and the metallic material is just hit to glamour this festive outfit needed.
The next is this luxe gunmetal silver dress. I’ve never worn a
midi dress to a party before but a few little features on this dress really
made it stand out. Apart from the figure hugging shape and subtle shimmer from
the slinky material; I loved the short sleeves and the slits up both sides which both
gave it a bit of an edge. It also comes with a tie around the waist which I've
tired up at the back. The material is super conformable and I think this ticks both boxes of looking smart and keeping warm. Simply paired with some strappy
heels and that's one outfit ready to go.
Which outfit do you prefer?

ReplyDeleteI wasnt as such about the skirt at first but I'm really starting to love it too :D x
DeleteI love the rose gold skirt! It's a definite winner for me if it nips in at the waist and hides Christmas party bloat (my permanent state during winter!) xxx
