Let the panic buying commence.

If you haven't yet started your Christmas shopping or you have a bit left to do, we feel your pain because the shops are beyond busy this week. However, if you do a little research before you set out by making a list and checking out what's stocked where, you'll save yourself a lot of time. I've managed to get all my gift shopping done but am completely stuck for what to wear over the festive season. Thankfully, Penneys has come to the rescue and there's more than a few bargains on offer at the moment. The below party dress is a must-have too, especially if you're stuck for something to wear for any last-minute festivities or even St Stephen's Day. With prices starting at €5, you can't go wrong and best of all, these picks won't put too much of a dent in your post present-buying bank balance. If you'd rather purchase a piece that has more of a festive theme, check out this velvet beauty complete with statement sleeves. It's red, so PERFECT for Christmas and at €16, it's an absolute steal.
