Party season is fast approaching, Christmas parties have been planned and now it’s all about finding that perfect outfit.
In the fashion world, the run-up to the festive season is an excuse to break out of your comfort zone and try something a little different.
With all the embellished, sequinned and metallic shiny items on display, it’s very tempting to buy a whole new wardrobe but it’s not necessary.
A couple of key statement pieces will ensure you get through the season with an fashionable look and more importantly, your bank balance will remain intact (for the most part).
Embellished items are literally everywhere this season and the fantastic thing about investing in jewelled pieces, be it budget or high-end, Penneys or Brown Thomas, it guarantees a luxe look.
Pairing a encrusted stone statement necklace with a white blouse (a staple piece which should feature in every wardrobe) creates a sharp yet elegant style.
Jewelled t-shirts are ideal for brightening up black pencil skirts and skinny jeans.
The only tip you need to remember is when wearing embellishment, keep it simple. Don’t over accessorise and keep to a muted colour palette.
