The Christmas Dress Situation: Sequins.

Hello All!
I'm sure most of you are resigned to the fact from here on in Christmas is going to be the resounding theme throughout the bloggersphere for the next couple of weeks- and AOG is no exception.

I am so excited for Christmas this year- those of you who have been following my blog since this time last year know that I had a terrible car crash and wrote my car off December last year, consequently spending the majority of Christmas up to my eyeballs on diaepam crying- it really was a grim Christmas last year.....but moving on I as well as Ive ever been and anticipating Christmas this year with added delight.

This year I have three Christmas parties on three separate weeks and so need three Christmas outfits. Those of you who have read my "How To Be Financially Glamorous" Post know that I really am reigning in on my spending at present and desperately trying to resist some of the sparkly gorgeousness in the shop and be sensible with my purchases.

This dress is from Missguided and irritatingly drifted in and out of stock for a long time. I was drawn to the sequins and the sophistication of the long sleeves with essential nod to the peplum trend.

 
 Admittedly the dress comes up a lot shorter than I had envisaged from the Missguided photos regardless I am really looking forward to wearing this over the festive season. I really love the exposed zip detailing on the back. I cant help think this dress is curiously similar to my Chirtsmas dress choice last year but hey who says a Leopard ever changes its spots!

What are you wearing over the party season?

This is my last week before signing onto the good old 9-5 life.
Ive got mixed emotions as I have working shifts for years and my new job is a totally different role to what I have been doing up until now. Baring this in mind its given me a brilliant excuse to go shopping for work wear which Ive been loving. So expect some work wear relates posts/hauls.

Wishing you all a great week
