party planning

Anyone following me on twitter will know just how much I am loving Matalan right now! With Christmas fast approaching (oh, hey there November) they’ve just started to showcase their party dresses, and I’m smitten! I popped along to my local store on Sunday and tried on the.dress. (although not in the colour I wanted, hence a non-purchase for now) and I saw some other real gems too, all at crazy good prices, meaning new shoes and accessories are totally justifiable.

1. Sequin Swing Dress has a touch of old-time glamour too it, the sequins and sheer give a slightly gothic feel and yet it remains modest, making it perfect for a works do.

2. Jade and Black Lace Butterfly Bow Dress this is just crazy gorgeous, classic and the jade and black go together perfectly. It looks even more special close up than it does on the website!

3. Layered Tiered One Shoulder Dress in my favourite shade of blue! The simplicity of this dress leaves lots of scope for accessories and the cut is lovely.

4. Sequin Shift Dress a.k.a. MY dress! I tried on the black and gold version of this (stunning but my heart is set on the blue). Unlike many a party dress this isn’t too short on my tall frame and the long sleeves stop it being too OTT. I’m planning on wearing this with some solid tights and some plain yet killer shoes…providing it doesn’t sell out before I get my mitts on it!

The best thing?
Not one of these dresses cost over Β£30! Bring on the invites!
