What the Blazers?!

Sandra Bullock is really rocking the blazer over a party dress look. I wonder if I could too. Her dress is from All Saints, and I have one from there (although far less ornate) which might look quite cute with a blazer for New Year's.

I'm not really feeling body confident at the moment post Christmas gorging to show too much flesh. So the blazer might be the perfect solution, plus it tones down a party dress and makes it look like you're not trying too hard. Which for NYE has to be a good thing. I always think there is just something a little desparate about going all out.

So if this is what I'm going to try then I need to pin down a great blazer.

Pull the Wool Over Your Eyes

I know you are probably beyond bored of hearing me prattle on about what I am going to wear for New Year. I'm sorry, but please have a little more patience with me...

I think I might wear a pale grey/silver dress. And I bought a pair of dark purple tights from Tabio because I thought black would be too harsh.

Now, seeing as it is going to be colder than a witches nether regions I need a cardy. Burgundy? Dark purple? And where can I find such a thing? I was veering toward Uniqlo but it seems they have nothing in the right colour.

Please help, I don't want to freeze!

Dressed to the Nines

I know that I said I had given up and would wear something for new year that I already owned, but I can't help myself, if I have an occassion I want to buy a new dress for it, I'm just built that way.

And this little number has taken my fancy. It is jersey so it would be super easy to wear. It is terribly flattering with the gathering, but is fitted at the back so it doesn't make me look as though I am wearing a sack and the straps are awfully flattering on my shoulders, back and arms.

I would like to wear it with thick black tights, maybe the librarians and lots of black eye make up. I think I love it. I think it must be mine...
