Ahhh! I am having massive issues with my company's flimsy Christmas work party dress code! It doesn't make sense! Here is one of the outfits I've mocked up for possible wearing...
So, its lunch out at a swanky restaurant, followed by a pub. There is walking in severe frost involved. I will be abandoning the work party at some point in the evening to attend a panto. I reiterate how FREEZING it is likely to be...
I have been told to do 'Smart-Casual', like going to work but sparky for a party...thing is, I work with kids. Doing sports. In a tracksuit! I am not donning a diamante encrusted pair of tracksuit trousers. I say donning, I mean buying. Assuming then, the meaning is to take into account suitable office wear, but better. Nothing too short or skimpy e.g. still remaining conservative.
Thus, the two other outfits I have assembled to meet requirements. I am loving the jumper dress combo, although the jumper dress I actually own lacks the bronze embellishment, although I could add that on reasonably easily. The shift dress sounds the best in theory, but I tried it on and it just feels a bit...OTT? Maybe because I spend the vast majority of my time at work in a t-shirt?

I see a '50's style dress with full skirt, thick tights, sparkly shoes and a very heavy fitted at the waist coat. You could wear big red lips and an elegant handbag. Warm, yet still smart, yet not so casual. Who wants casual?
Exactly - who wants casual when there are so many other choices...:p
