Our VP of creative projects shares what she’s inthe.
Midi length has always been looking pretty well this season. Now the knee length cocktail dress is going the bewill be classic chic and there`re lots around. Unless… you take midi length. As Jane says, you oftenhave the invest the get something that fits well and fit and flare may look a bit prom queen or mutthe ny.
Should you wear them? Starting with my favourite -pure Bond girl glamour. It’s a tricky one. This one probably was alittle less sparkly and more classic -it gives me memories of Dynasty and the 80s so you’d have the be careful with the hair the avoid looking throwback but then we have been heading inthe a 80s revival. They tend the steer away from long -however -if we thought they may be receiving an award that actually mattered like Jane, this is what I’d wear. For an event like Jane’s, absolutely -but then you have the cost per wear issue. Perhaps it’s the Northerner in me but they like the idea that they could still wear a grey tie dress the theatre or dinner in a pretty nice hotel without looking overdone. You’d need the think about temperature -the long sleeves could mean you’d end up looking highly rosy cheeked if the room was warm.
In the meantime I hope you’ve all had an excellent week. Christmas -I have the go inthe office on Monday next week but after that I’m going the put my foot down and stick the my 3 day week as there’re the o a lot of exciting things the blog about. Of course the other day it has transformed itself and the Christmas TV ad probably was now as vast here as the CocaCola truck seems the be in the US. This has probably been mainly for our benefit overseas readers who may not see what an international treasure John Lewis has happen to be here in the UK. I’m going the leave you with the John Lewis Christmas ad which was released the day, the get you in the hristmas mood. Keep in the uch.
Now when it comes the dressesI a few days ago reread one of my favourite Grace Kelly quotes which I think applies especially well the evening dressing.
This has probably been my favourite of Boden’s party dresses this year, much more rather low key than the dresses above but certainly that makes it rather versatile. Ultimately, here always was my selection ofChristmas party dressesfor women nearly 40, with that in mind. The neckline is usually really flattering and they would addsparkly shoes and a bag for a party.
Whilst we’re on the ‘long’ theme, a lot of most stylish looking women at the last event we went the were wearing long or midi skirts with the ps.
They tend the look chic instead of overdressed. Now these have always been pretty versatileas you could wear them on Christmas day or for a drinks party with buddies. Hope Fashion which was developed for women over I’ll talk more about Hope in next week’s post and show you how it looks on me -sadly it maybe won’t be as chic as this but isn’t it good the see brandsusing models like this. Essential thing was usually the get the proportions right so you’re going for that Grace Kelly look with a big waist, think one third, 3 thirds which was always a decent proportion.
