Welcome back to The Velvet Runway and this feature about “All that Glitters”.
It’s that time of year when the Christmas parties are fast approaching and the thorny question of what to wear rears its ugly head. Uttering the words “party look” is enough to make some people run for cover or curl up in front of the fire with their two favourite guys ‘Ben’ and ‘Jerry’.
It’s not always that easy to decide on what to wear and how formal/ dressed up/ casual to be. It’s a thin line between boring and over the top !
The key to not letting party dressing seem stressful is to be prepared. So, that means starting to think sparkle and sequins now, and start to inject a little of your personality into your party look. If you can’t have fun with fashion at Christmas, when can you?
For a change from my usual black, I have opted for a brown and gold dress (from Mickael Kors) for this Christmas period.

To shop my style, see below :
gold-brown shift dress similar here
Black suede shoes boots similar here
Lipstick : Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk
Gold is a metallic bright color that goes well with all skin tones, but if you are using it as the primary color of your outfit, then accessorizing it may become a little tricky.
As it makes enough of a statement in its own right, keep all your accessories simple so that the dress is the focus of your party look.
I hope you enjoyed this this feature about “All that Glitters” and have a look here for more of our style features.

Thank you so much Amy Ann! 🙂
I love this rich gold and brown dress, not an obvious choice for Christmas per se, but still appropriate and gorgeous, love that it is a bit out of the box; speaking of boxes, I hope you enjoy opening them all!
