Tis' the season to be jolly falalalala lalalala!
The party season is in full swing and with the holidays starting soon, you can even party on a weekday :O If you want to find party dresses then the sales are on in quite a few shops, be savvy and unless you know that the dress you are getting is a good investment for the future DON'T splurge on an uber-expensive one! i know a girl who managed to get a decent dress for £1.75 (!) now i'm not saying that over a fiver is unreasonable but i think that for teenagers the top mark should be £50, this includes accessories and shoes! if the occasion is quite important then you can be leniant but remember, there's going to be more party's next year!
if you are an adult with a good job then between £75 and £150 should be your ideal range. Now we're not writing this blog for the rich, but the ordinary fashion folk, so you may have different ideas on how much a dress/suit should cost, i'm here to give you some guidance.
i would advise people to steer clear of internet shopping unless you are familiar with the shop and it's sizes because ordering online ca cause all sorts of problems. the dress could fit but look completely different on you then it did on the website or there sizes could be different and a size 10 that would usually fit, feels more like an 8! i have had first hand experience of this myself as well as having lots of friends who have gone through the trauma of finding a dress at the last minute.
So now you don't know what to get! well if it's a club that your going to, or a friends party, then sort hemlines and a bit of chest flesh showing is fine. don't go too OTT let the jewellery, make-up, shoes do tha for you!
If it is a formal thing or family gathering then you might not want to bare too much skin, class is very stylish :)
Gold, black, dark reds and neutrals are in! So for the make-up go for either dark mysterious eyes or sexy, burgandy, juicy lips. you could also go for a rose pink/shimmer natural look, sparkling smoky eyes or matte red lips.
wit the clothes, lace dresses are very in and there are lots of tights out there with a simple patterned seem up the back or on the side- check out henry holland or pretty polly. lac black dresses are always a winner or a sparkly sequined up number.i saw a georgeous red velvet dress from whistles too.
you don't want to over-do the sparkle so choose one thing that is going to stand out. for shoes large strap wedges are in as well as sequined within an inch of their lives ones!
now i have shared my knowledge with you i wish you good luck!
