Potential Party Dresses: The One?



Dress c/o Ax Paris, Shoes c/o Barratts

I think my search for a party dress may well be over. As part of my partnership with Ax Paris came this beautiful black sequin skater dress. It was love at first sight and as soon as I slipped it on my feelings about myself were transformed. I love a bit of sparkle, as most of you will now know and the cut of this dress skims over the parts I don't like so much and emphasies those I do. It also comes in a beautiful nude colour, but me being me would have far too many red-wine induced accidents wearing that, so I went back to black.

The shoes I'm wearing were a gift from the folks at Barratts and although my foot really isn't up to anything but flats at the moment (not pictured, the epic amounts of hopping and swearing these photos generated) I couldn't resist slipping them on to show off. When I can wear heels again the wedge will be nice and gentle and I'm kind of obsessed with this berry colour right now. Oh so impatient to be able to wear this properly!

It's under a month now until our work party and I am impatient for it to arrive now I know I have my dress! Footwear won't be decided until much nearer the time as I guess it depends on the state of my tootsies but I'm hoping for some semi-killer heels; what would you suggest?

What do you think of this dress? Of the three options I've tried this is MY personal number one.

You look stunning & when it comes to party dresses a bit of glitz is always a good way to go :) I do love finding a little 'posh' frock here & there where I can.

Hoping you can get back to enjoying your shoes properly soon <3 xxx

I really DOUBT a massive shoe company like barratts would send you free shoes. Your blog isn't out there enough to win favours.

That dress is so nice, plus those shoes are divine!

Love it!

There's an option to put your name, rather than be anon.

Would you want horribly bitter people (with obvious issues) to publicly and constantly try to upset you?

I think you need to go and a) stop reading the blog (you obviously get nothing positive from it), b) think about who you want to be - if you're getting this angry at a blog then I think you mustn't be very happy in yourself - make some changes!, c) go do something fun. Go outside. See friends. Then you'll be too busy to load up the blog and find something to moan about!

What briefrespite said. Get a life anon.

Laura, this one looks amazing. You look amazing. Love you poppet! x

Ellie said...

PS. Anon, are you jealous? Do you have a blog that doesn't get read much? Oh well, never mind. Maybe one day you might have some integrity and people might give a shit.

Sorry Laura, I just feel riled right now!

Hazel said...

This dress is utterly, utterly wonderful. It looks amazing x

Alice said...
