IT'S that time of year again when diaries are filling with seasonal soirees and festive fashion has hit the shelves.
So to help you get through all those office parties in style, take some tips from Greenwich Shopping Park on how to effortlessly go from desk to dancefloor.
Christmas Chic
Festive drinks with clients, office parties and industry dos can be difficult to dress for, and going straight from work means there’s little time to get ready.
For a versatile look that’s sophisticated yet fun, try wearing a bold coloured pencil skirt with a pretty feminine blouse to the office with some black opaque tights and ballet pumps.
Then once the computer’s shut down, simply add a pair of heels, swap the opaques for some patterned tights and a lick of red lipstick and you’re ready to go.
We think this Red Falcon Skirt, £29.99, from River Island is just perfect.
Seasonal Sparkles
You can update your office look really easily simply by adding a corsage or statement brooch to a jacket, teaming coloured tights with your black dress, or using a silk scarf to transform your plain white blouse.
Think sequins, silk and sparkles and you’re sure to find accessories that’ll make you shine this season.
An oversized clutch, killer heels and a blazer are our perfect additions to an office to party look and we love this statement sequin clutch, £22, from Next.
Take a peek at the range of accessories also available at H&M to add some festive glamour to your outfit.
Winter Wonders
If you’ve got half an hour to spare between work and play, then swap those conservative office colours for a real party piece.
Bold, print and embellished dresses are right on trend for the social season so now is the time to make a statement and turn some heads.
To add to the Christmas cheer, there are already a number of sales on party wear at the Park and we’ve fallen for this Pearly Beaded Flapper Dress, which was £74.99, but is now £59.99 from New Look.
Finish the look with some elegant silhouette heels and a clutch bag.
We’ve found a great range of festive footwear in hot seasonal shades at Clarks.
An Extra Touch
Before you leave the office, refresh your make-up by adding some shimmer to your eyes and some colour to your lips.
Our make-up must have is the range of Revlon Super Lustrous Lipglosses, £6.00, from Boots.
River Island, Next, H&M, New Look, Clarks and Boots are available at Greenwich Shopping Park, as well as other fashion retailers, OUTFIT and JD Sports.
