Top Tips for Buying the Perfect Christmas Party Dress - with Siobhan McHugh
Stylist Siobhán McHugh of Styleuhoria.com, who is also now providing the fab new personal shopping service for Liffey Valley Shopping Centre, wanted to share some outfit buying tips for us to help us through the annual Christams party dress dilemma!
Dress: Choose a dress that you feel comfortable in, otherwise you will look uneasy all night. Notice the detailing on the dress and ensure that it is showing off your best assets, while camouflaging those ‘bits’ that we are not so fond of. This gorgeous green and black print dress from the Savida range in Dunnes (€55) would be fantastic on an hourglass shape (an hourglass will have shoulders and hips that are the same width and you will have a well defined waist). The shape of this dress will accentuate those fab curves while at the same time nipping you in at the waist.
Shoe saga: When choosing shoes for the Christmas party opt for shoes that not only look good, but feel good also. There is no point in having a gorgeous pair of shoes and not being able to walk in them, let alone dance! You could play it safe by matching black shoes to this dress or for the more daring you go for the red shoes to create a strong contrast.
Accessories: Accessories are the key to success; it can give your outfit the extra ‘wow’ factor. Perhaps with a dress like this one, you could opt for an elegant clutch bag with lace detailing for the romantic feel and pair with glamorous drop earrings. Remember to choose a handbag that fits mistletoe in it – it might come in handy for that office crush you have had all year!
