Women in the UK have been found to spend on average 49 hours planning for the office bash. Starting as early as November 11th we will prep, preen, and sculpt our bodies to within an inch of our lives. Research by Blanx found that 21 hours are spent trawling the shops for the perfect ensemble, and 18 hours at the gym ensure that said dress will fit.
With my preparations starting somewhat later than November, and with only 2 days to go, I decided to rummage in the depths of my wardrobe and pull out some old favourites, rather than buying something new. I experienced the mounting stress of an impending party where you battle between professional and cool, casual and formal, festive and fun. Nobody wants to be sat across from too much cleavage, or too short a hemline. Play it right, and you can walk into the party feeling confident and looking effortless.
Here is a sneak peek at my own work party outfit for your own inspiration, I would love to know what you'll be wearing!
