    Christmas Party Dress picks | Guest Blogger Mode-Lily

    First of all, hello everyone! Hope you’re having fabulous December, enjoying chai lattes, hot chocolates, Christmas markets, cosy jumpers and ridiculously cold mornings! I’m Dash, (if-I-have spare-time-on-my-hands) blogger from Leeds, you can find me over at Mode Lily, and if you fancy read my rumble about fashion, beauty (every now and then) and my (wanna-be-interesting) life go ahead and visit my blog. As Rebecca’s reader, follower and a blogging friend, I was thrilled to write for her little space in blogosphere, so I really do hope you enjoy it! I’m actually here to share with you my Christmas party dresses picks, so sit back and enjoy!

    Nothing screams “party dresses” more than Christmas and yes, this party season is upon us! I have my work Christmas do in less than two weeks and as a right girly girl (ehm ehm, can I say that when I’m 30?) I’ve been picking my dress for a month now. And I love it picking the right dress and I love moaning about it as well!

    The sheer amount of party dresses out there is unbelievable. So many
    different colours and styles, from comfy to sexy, from elegant to rock
    chic. SO, to make it easy for you, I’ve made a collage with my favourite picks and I’m going to talk about the ones I believe are the greatest standouts. Amazingly ladies, jumpsuits are still happening this season! I’m massive fan of jumpsuits as they offer great comfort for girls that would love to look trendy, classy but just don’t enjoy wearing dresses that much. The trick is making it look standout so don’t worry to go brave with accessories and I’m sure the spotlight will be yours. My second favourite pick is this she sparkly Asos dress. I know, it is for the brave but I say why not? Be a femme fatale in this sexy number and embrace the night.

    Jazz it up This Christmas

    It’s alright to cover up this winter and still look chic. I felt in love with this lace fishtail maxi dress
    in pink and I can see myself wearing it. It would be great to create the perfect snow princess party look. I’m also attending a winter wedding, so I can imagine I could quite easily transform this dress into a wedding outfit. Also, the flower dress by Planet and the pink embellished flapper dress would create the perfect classy Christmas party look. The blue dress by Ted Baker tells another story. It’s gorgeous, elegant, well fitted and this shade of blue, to me, represents true winter colour. You can’t go wrong with this one. If these picks are too classy for you and you only need something more party like, I would suggest a playsuit as a perfect Christmas party look. This Warehouse playsuit keeps it stylish but also it holds kind of a cool model-off-duty edge. Don’t you agree?

    Hope you enjoyed our time together and if you have time, let me know which Christmas party dress idea was your favourite!
    Yours truly,

    Now, call me a bitter bride I don’t care. To my dismay when our photographer, Jenny Prest (who is AMAZING by the way and all the photos you are seeing are hers!! Bar one or two shots!!) was loading some snippets to her facebook page and people were commenting MORE on the Bridesmaid dresses than mine.

    Although, secretly I was pleased as no-one could see my vision. I told everyone numerous times, red shoes & petticoat. I was greeted with looks of despair and questionable glances ensued but I was adamant. That was what it was going to be!

    And, look how pretty they all look. The Cath Kidston style fit in perfectly with the wedding. They all looked amazing in them and it is such a flattering style of dress. In fact I was jealous that I wasn’t a bridesmaid in one of them. (Although, I personally don’t think I could trade my beautiful dress in just yet!)

    I stumbled upon these dresses on, you guessed it, eBay. They were from British Retro eBay Shop and at £45 they were a steal. They even gave me a small discount for purchasing 6 dresses. If you are looking for something a little bit kitsch and cute this is the place to go!

    What Bridesmaid dresses have you chosen or have you been a Bridesmaid where you loved or loathed your dress? I want to hear so drop me a comment below.
