P.A.R.T…..Y? Cos it’s Christmas and I gotta!

Seriously, where has 2015 gone?! 

It never ceases to amaze me that after February it feels as if the rest of the year just disappears. This, I’ve been informed, is a sign of getting older…wiser.

However, it does mean I’m to be blessed with festivities, soirees and gatherings aplenty. Including the big one….drum roll please….the STAFF CHRISTMAS PARTY!

I do recall, back in the heady days of summer, that I was indifferent about putting in an appearance. But after hearing from a reliable source that ‘Tim from Accounts’ will definitely be attending, I quickly confirmed my RSVP. Yes…I know.

Actually, a show of hands please for anyone who has been making eyes/exchanging small talk with their very own Tim/Tina/Toto? It is officially….TIME!

I’m sure I don’t need to remind anyone (least of all myself) that accepting the invite means a night involving:

·         Food (possibly)

·         Alcohol (better be)

·         Colleagues (undoubtedly)

·         Pictures appearing online (definitely)*

*This combination should not result in antics that cause you; to become an ‘Urban Legend’, HMP incarcerated or a recipient of your P45 come Monday. Decorum is vital.

So, outfit wise, I’ve chosen the (sensible) option of sticking to a typical work outfit but with closer attention to accessories.

The leopard print on the ankle boot/ clutch uniform the khaki, yet compliments the H&M gold accessories. Boots, belt and clutch were gifts, but you can get similar here, here and here,

The grey coat from H&M is a perfect length to ensure the dress is covered, and is also warm enough for the chilly streets of London Town.

Not only is this khaki dress a supermarket purchase (shhh...Tesco) the V-neck gives an ideal amount of cleavage; perfect if, like me, you are the proud owner of a very generous cup size.

Top this all off with a red lip and a cheeky smile. Tim really won’t know what hit him….wish me luck!
