As Lauren mentioned in this post last week, with an end-of-November birthday I don’t tend to start thinking about Christmas until 1 December. However this year, with a couple of birthday celebrations in the diary (the first of which is next Friday), I’m looking for something sparkly to wear that will work for Christmas and New Year parties too. Yup, when it comes to party wear I make like a magpie, with my general rule being the shinier the better. I’m torn between a dress or a jumpsuit. Here’s five that have caught my eye…

Asymmetric Strap Jumpsuit, £69.99, Mango

Sparkly, sexy and a little bit Studio 54, this jumpsuit has got it ALL going on. Extra points for the cutout back.

Sequin Dress, £29.99, Pull & Bear at ASOS

I usually like my dresses to have a bit of a sleeve but for this sequinned number with its square neck and low v-back I’m prepared to completely ignore my own rule. Rules, after all, are made to be broken.

Glittery Jumpsuit, £29.99, H&M

The glittery jersey fabric gives this jumpsuit a pleasingly drapey look which, with the addition of pockets, means it manages to be casual but dressy all at the same time. Also those sandals…!

Sequin Dress, £68, Topshop

As much as I like colour for daytime dresses, when it comes to party wear I frequently find myself to drawn to black. This sequinned dress from Topshop is on the simple side, but I figure that just means I’ll be able to wear it over and over again.

Sequin Shift Dress, £79.99, Mango

Cap sleeves + a round neck + a v-back + shedloads of sequins = party perfection. My favourite.

What’s your party style? Spotted any sparkly dresses or jumpsuits I should check out? Thinking I might have to go braless if I went for the cutout back jumpsuit or the low v-back dresses. Thoughts? As ever, do share below!
