Sparkle at the Christmas Party!

I have noticed a few clothes shops don't seem to have much in the way of party dresses at the minute, which is disappointing since there are always nights out and parties to go to during the run up to Christmas and over New Year. Dorothy Perkins and Topshop seem to be particularly bad for partywear this winter.

Here are a few shimmery party dresses that I have managed to find online.

This ASOS Sequin Bodycon Dress in the colour 'ink' is available from their website, www.asos.com for £55.00.

This Kelly Wrap Sequin Bodycon Dress is £35.00 online at www.boohoo.com. I love the exposed zip down the back.

This Jane Norman Sequin Cowl Back Dress is reduced from £50.00 to just £37.50 online at www.houseoffraser.com.

This gold (although it looks silver to me) Debbie V Back Sequin Dress is available for £35.00 at www.boohoo.com.

ASOS.com have this ASOS Sequin Top Skater Dress available in navy for £50.00.

This French Connection Spectacular Sparkle Dress is amazing, but I cannot justify the £160.00 price tag that it carries at the minute. It is available at www.frenchconnection.com or www.very.co.uk.

I am not really an occasion buyer. I don't go shopping for an outfit for a specific occasion. If I see something I like I buy it, knowing that an occasion will come up when I could wear it.
I think I'll have a look to see if this comes up in the sales and I'm sure an occasion will arise in the New Year.

This French Connection Siberian Stripe Sequin Dress is available from www.frenchconnection.com for a whopping £280.00.

As for shoes and clutches that sparkle, a few items have caught my eye while I was browsing online.

4) New Look Black Scallop Bead Clutch £19.99 www.newlook.com
5) New Look Green Embellished Holographic Box Clutch £19.99 www.newlook.com

The Irregular Choice Iced Gem Abigail boots are my my favourite of the sparkly shoes and I love the New Look Green Embellished Holographic Box Clutch. I saw someone with the box clutch on a night out recently and I really liked it, although it is quite small.

The Jimmy Choo clutch is one that I was looking at this time last year in more of a glittery silver rather than a diamante design. It was reduced to around £400.00 in their summer sale this year, but it wasn't reduced in the glittery silver I had liked and £400.00 is still way too much for me to spend on a clutch bag.
I love the metal sided magnetic flap on the top.
