Glam up.. its party time!!

Well its time to glam up for the party seasons and to be selecting what ensembles you’ll be wearing. What outfits are you thinking about this year? Fancy? Casual? or full on festive? This year I won’t be attending the Christmas do. But doesn’t mean I cannot glam up and have a merry time with my closest humans. So I thought I’ll do a throw back to the events of the ones I’ve attended. Some have been good and others spectacular. I must say my favourites have been the fancy parties.

I thoroughly enjoy the build up to the evening, getting dolled up, the makeup, the out fit etc. The whole process is one crazy yet joyous occasion. The whirlwind of the two most prominent events are Christmas parties and the New years party which demand ones best style. Whether your plans are to shake it all about, staying in and hosting an intimate affair or going to a works do, its always ideal to and fun to deck yourselves out for the celebratory period.

So ladies, the inevitable question we always tend to ask ‘What should I wear?’ Well, the key I mainly focus on is to feel comfortable in what I choose to wear. Yet aim to be glamorous, stylish and va va voom!!! Find a statement outfit you like or whats trending. But look for the outfit that suits your body and enhances you and compliments you. Add festive details like jewellery, heels or flat, along with a cute handbag.

My style has always been a statement dress, smokey eye makeup and simple accessories. I’m not too keen on heavy jewellery, a pair or earrings, bangles or a watch along with a lovely ring normally goes A LONG WAY. Furthermore, I put on a hydrating tinted lip balm. Last year we had a fancy party a 70’s theme and I wore a red lip and fell in love with wearing a colour on the lip again. As long as it’s a matte formula – I’m good to go.

Wear what resembles your taste and fashion style, remember you want to look sexy and chic so keep it elegant and go boogie the night away. Hope you all have a merry time and celebrate in style. Remember to keep warm and you have a safe journey back home.

Here are some of the outfits similar to the ones I’ve worn and I found online and in stores. The dresses I have are few years old but these outfits are always on trend. I’ve linked them down below in order of the pictures.

Gone Missguided!

As you can read by the title, yes I browsed Missguided and got carried away. No regrets whatsoever!

I was looking through Coats and Jackets – as I have an unhealthy appetite for Coats, just love Coats – I come across this beautiful Khaki Long Duster Coat. I instantly fell in love with it and added it to the basket. Then I continued to browse some more… I know trouble! However, I managed to control my itchy fingers and only bought this beauty. And boy am I glad I did. I couldn’t wait for it to be delivered and was impatiently waiting for it.

Waiting for all my Haul deliveries!

 

Once it was chucked through the door, yes chucked! I did have words with the delivery guy and told him NEVER to do that but to hand it over to the recipient ever so nicely. He wasn’t offended as I approached him with gentle manner with stern vocabularies. He apologised. To continue, I tucked into the packaging and immediately put it on. Instant love. It was creased on arrival but oh well. I showed it of to my mother and she really liked it and wanted one for herself.

I finally had the Long Sleeve Maxi Duster Coat Khaki, the fitting was a perfect size 10, UK standard. The details of the coat was simple with no buttons or ties to hold the lapels together. There are two good size pockets on each side. I intended to wear it for a Beach trip I was going to that weekend so I ironed out all the creases and placed it in my wardrobe.

Comes beach day at Llandudno Beach in Wales. My friends and I waddled along the pier and the shores. I was super excited as it was my first day out of the house after my surgery. So I took my Khaki Coat and put it on when it got really breezy along with my hat.

It kept me warm, the material is light weight and very flattering around the shoulders. The Khaki colour is perfect for summer nights and is an easy transition from Winter to Spring or Summer to Autumn. It was a sublime accessory to wear as I relaxed near the water, taking in the scenery. 

The coat is very versatile and could be worn casually with skinny jeans, leggings with a lovely long top either with flat ballet pumps, converse shoes or other trendy trainers. It can also be worn for a night out with a beautiful dress along with heals. What I love about the coat is that it’s so simple and yet makes a statement. I had lovely compliments from everyone I come across. Which was highly boosting for thy ego.

The Khaki Coat is inexpensive and won’t leave a dent on your bank account. A beautiful investment for long-term. I’ve been looking for an ankle length coat for awhile and couldn’t find anything appealing. Thus, seeing this on Missguided i just had to have it. I’m SO charmed by my purchase. I would like more of these in different colours.

Missguided has always been a reliable brand as I’ve shopped their other collections over the years for special occasions or genuinely for casual outfits. I’m currently enjoying their collaboration with bloggers. So go have a look at their online collection.

Where do you like to buy your Coats?

Do you have a certain colours your looking to have? Or have that you’re currently loving?

Please share your love for Coats with me? I find them to be such a staple piece to have in our everyday wear.
