With the Christmas looming, I have received several invites for parties already, 2 being black tie events (BTE). Well, I’ve been watching out on my spending the past few months so I decided to raid the other, more quiet corner of my wardrobe to see what I could wear for these 2 formal dos. Besides, I’ve got a number of party dresses that I haven’t worn yet.
To my horror, those that I’ve been counting on do not fit me anymore. *sobs* Either I really could not get into the dress or the zip won’t go all the way up. *more sobs* I did find one sort of a 60s retro print A-line dress which I decided I’d wear for the company party. As for the other BTE, I might need to trod to the shops (dismay, dismay…) and get a new dress. I’ve decided not to spend more than £100, the lower end, the better!
Apart from the anticipation of going through endless clothes racks, I’ve also checked out the internet for some ideas of what’s in season. Handbag was my first stop, which gave me lots of ideas. From there, I visited Wallis, Monsoon, Principles, Ghost and Kew. Below are some eye catchers.
Which one would you go for?

Hey Charl! Finally got the time to do some bloghopping. I’ll be reading yours bit by bit in the following nights.
As for the dresses, I like the yellow-gray (bottom left). I can already picture you wearing it.
