red and black plaid dress The Novella in Christmas to its core My Style: Red & Black

I used all four buttons, two on each cuff

Its more subtle than a sequined gown, but youll still shine as you break it down on the dance floor

The smooth pleated skirt flows gently from the waist, skimming the body and adding movement as you walk

We rounded up a handful of choices across the budget board, from high-end couture to rentable options

Realised in a deep forest green, this Frock and Frill midi is embellished throughout with sparkling sequins and adorned with beaded tassels that swish with every step

Although you can purchase special rags for your shoes, nearly every guide Ive read and every professional shoe shiner Ive had my shoes shined by has used an old cotton T-shirt cut into squares and longer strips (for buffing)
