It is Christmas Party season (if I could make the text glitter and sparkle and flash – I would) and I have some party outfit inspiration for you in one word: Oasis.
It is like a pattern-glitter-winter party-wear dream over at Oasis Christmas Partywear.
I popped into the new Oasis store on Tottenham Court Road a few weeks ago – which is so SO cute by the way – they have a cafe and a beauty bar – nails/hair/eyebrows/the works – its a party in itself – go visit!
Anyway – I popped in and fell in love with their entire collection.. Don’t even get me started on the coats..
Got distracted again, one more time..
So.. I fell in love with their entire collection and it is now my go-to brand for festive dressing.
For partying this season, I was really looking for something a bit different, so I thought midi skirt. And let me tell y’all something, this Oasis midi(*) is beauty to the max-i. So easy to dress it up – but also looks dreamy dressed down with a big wool jumper.
The gorgeous ‘Jacquard’ pattern/fabric that my skirt is made from is also available in a mini skirt, a dress, a coat, shoes… you could basically go totally camouflaged in this amazing kinda-grandma-curtain-but-it-just-works print. I am obsessed with it.
I teamed it up with a plain black top I found in the bottom of my wardrobe, a leather jacket from Zara and then a glitter clutch(*) because (EVERYONE needs one of those) & silver party shoes(*) with the most comfortable block heel evvveeerrr – both from Oasis.
I tried to take these outfit photos in the most ridiculous Storm Desmond gail force winds… Hence the hair flying everywhere in almost every photo… but hey – it adds a slight current affairs theme to this blog post… right?

What are the odds of finding a brick-paved street with the same colour scheme as your skirt?!
I tried to look like all the other bloggers who look flawlessly cool in their ‘action walking’ shots. I just look like I have had one too many mulled wines, and am struggling with the pavement/heel situation.
*awful flashbacks to trying to wear stilettos in Covent Garden* – never again.

I love this outfit – it is different from my normal ‘dress and offensive Christmas jumper party combo’ – a hell of a lot more grown-up and ladylike than that – & it’s just so pretty. I feel the each item is trés Christmassy but could so easily be worn in Spring and Summer and Autumn – just change the colour of your top. Whip on a nice pale-pink floaty top and voilà – Wedding guest attire.
And now, before I turn totally French, I will bid you Au Revoir! Hope you have enjoyed this party pieces post – thanks again for reading all the way to the end and have a GREAT time partying in your pretty party pieces! <3
