A dress a day for under £100

Today we are back to a dress. A little black dress from the wonderful Julien MacDonald's Star range at Debenhams.

Often when we buy a party dress to sparkle and look for that detail that says party. Sometimes it is worth taking a leaf out of Kate Middleton's book and thinking demure. Demure party dressing is all about gliding through the occasion. Put it another way if you get too tipsy, spill a drink or fall alseep in a corner better to do it in an understated dress than full on bling, because the full on bling dress is a photo opportunity! With the demure dress you will have all the credentials of a tipsy Audrey Hepburn not a TOWIE extra.

Also you can wear it again and again. I'm very much in favour of wearing again and again when it comes to any purchase. Keep the accessories to a minimal, a pair of earrings and a cocktail ring. I've selected two pairs of earrings from my Stella & Dot online store. The first are very Kate Middleton, the second pair more dressy cocktail Mad Men or even a touch of the Downton Abbey.

  1. I rarely wear demure out of hours (perhaps because my work demands it?) but do need a dress for work/husband's work functions. Not that I get tipsy at them ;) it's just leopard print and bling doesn't work everywhere!
