How many times did you end up frantically looking for an outfit in the shops at lunchtime on the day of your work do?
So how about I save you some headspace and make it easier for you, so you at least know which way to look.
Below are few pointers you might want to consider when looking for one:
What type of occasion is it? Is it a sitting down meal? Then the top should be your accent and the most interesting part of the outfit, as this is what people are going to see
Who is going to be there and what are they likely to wear? You don’t want to overdress or underdress.
What is the temperature likely to be in that place? Perhaps it’s worth it to layer up so you can take something off if you are hot.
Check out my Christmas selection, based on your body shape:
1. If you are tall, without much definition between your bust/waist/hips, check these out - long, mono colour outfits are for you.

2. If you are broad and strong, go for texture and asymmetry:

3. If you are curvy with a defined waist - these might be your friends:
