Oh yes, it has come down to one of the staple days in the calender when you get to show off. I thought I'd share with you what I would be wearing if I had the green. I can picture myself strolling through the streets of London with the fireworks lighting the way. Fantasies aren't meant to be believable. Hence the fantasy part.
And now my explanation -
This Sass & Bide dress just jumped out at me. It's so OTT: ruffles, bows, sequins... which is perfect for this kind of occasion. The Bustier is figure-hugging and the full skirt balances out proportions. I just think it's fantastic. But then again, I'm a sucker for a good LBD. The Fur Coat is vintage from Rokit, my favourite online vintage store. It just looks so massive and comfortable that it glams up any outfit; plus it keeps you snug as a bug. The python clutch is Anya Hindmarch, it's sexy and works well with the coat and the dress. Louboutin Sandals are standard: Not too high, a bit of toe cleavage and that gold embellishment which instantly draws attention. I cannot think of any other shoes that would do the job. The nail polish is a dark red, a colour I've yearned for since stealing my mother's 'rouge noir' Chanel lacquer. It's classy, subtle and looks so expensive! Makeup-wise I was thinking a light rose blush (that Laura Mercier powder crushes like silk) on a glowing pale face with only thick lashes to contrast (the YSL mascara has a chunky brush with a creamy formula, perfect!). And now I'm ready to hit the streets!
Ok, so it's a little out of my price range, but my outfit still looks awesome: Black French Connection velvet pin-tuck dress, my £9 mkone peep-toe snakeskin heels (they were half price. And I subsided the pain by reshaping them with foam and double-sided. I'll have to put up a picture...) and my tux jacket. There was no point in buying anything special; after all I'm just going to a school-scale party in bath. Next year I'll fill out my fantasy. Bring it on London.
Anyway I hope you all have great New Year's bashes. Any Resolutions?
