BACK TO BLACK
dress: c/o Jarlo | jacket: c/o Barneys via IL2L | heels: c/o Call it Spring | necklace: Topshop | bracelet: Lulu Pearls
After only recently saying I prefer colourful party dresses to LBDs, what do I go and do? Choose a little black dress to shoot! I guess the beauty of this Jarlo dress was just too much to resist. I’ve always been a sucker for slip and shift style dresses – they add a much needed dash of volume to my small frame – and the super low back of this one is so sexy. Along with the pretty lace detailing on the front and the silky material, it’s definitely a perfect party piece.
A great thing about going for a simple dress for a party look is being able to max it up with statement accessories. Silver heels always feel a little OTT, so I like toning them down with black socks for a more casual vibe. Then just add a bold, blingtastic necklace (Topshop have an awesome range – and the one I’m wearing here was just £2.50 in the sale!) and a sparkly bracelet like my Lulu Pearls’ wrap one, and you’ve got a party style that’s bound to wow!
It’s feeling so Christmassy now, isn’t it? We never celebrated Christmas much when I was younger, but now Callum and I have our own flat, I’m feeling super festive! Plus, his family is big on Xmas celebrations so each year I’ve been getting more and more into the spirit of things. Tomorrow we’ll be putting up our first tree together. Big stuff! We’ll make sure to take lots of snaps to share with you all 🙂 hope you’ve all got festive plans for this weekend too?
