All too 'old' looking for my taste. I've recently bought a plum cotton velvet trouser suit to wear with heels (never loafers) and I've a selection of velvet and or glitter clutches from years past, to pair with it.
Not one for jewellery, just stud real diamond earrings and tennis bracelet (present from ex last year)
I've also bought a marine blue velvet pleated maxi skirt from M&S and mustard and blue chiffon blouse plus teal velvet hi-cut stilettos but not worn as an outfit. All to go with other things.

kitty Sainsbury's have had silver velvet tops for a few weeks now.

Urmstongran got it in 1!

Sorry - I think everything on the fashion page is frumpy

Trousers all the way for me. I have both black and navy evening trousers with sequinned tops. Also a black velvet suit. Pity I don’t have any invitations!

Bought this dress last month (in a bigger size so knee length on me). It’s warm and confirtable and I like the high neck.

dragonfly46 I think you are Theresa May and I claim my £5!

I have two pairs of stretch velvet trousers, black and navy, and wear with one of several floaty /sparkly long tops. With a little black dress to fall back on, that's all I need.

I shall be wearing leather leggings I bought in a close down sale of our local shops - with the Christmas jumper of course!!

I thought it was just me but I really didn’t like anything in the link- disappointing selection. Like another poster will stick to M & Co they do great party wear, not just dresses, especially in special offers recently.

I only wear dresses in the summer. For Christmas I usually wear smart trousers (but 'pull ups') and a reasonably glamorous top with long sleeves. Beautiful in its simplicity is what I'm aiming for but not sure I manage it.

Ay ay ay I’ve just looked at the featured dresses, way to old in style( we’re grannies , we don’t necessarily want to look like one!) Styles Gransnetters have posted far far better.The featured ‘blog ladies’ need to think again!

Never wear dresses, have bought a lovely silky jumpsuit from Tesco, dark green with a vaguely oriental muted flower print, very happy with it.

Can't say I'm too excited about the featured outfits either. Like another poster, I've got a beautiful Bombshell dress which will come out again this year. Another favourite which I wear a lot is a grey lace fitted dress with high round neck & v back & long sleeves - I always feel good in It, it gets its fair share of compliments &, best of all, cost under a tenner in the QVC outlet shop in town! My daughter has discovered a company called Shein who sell really pretty dresses at ridiculously good prices. I haven't bought anything from them yet but have my eye on a couple of things - I won't look as glamourous as she does, unfortunately!

Wouldn’t buy any of the dresses featured. Still need to find something to wear though there is probably something in my wardrobe........

I sometimes put on one of my slightly nicer jumpers on Christmas day.
Sometimes I don't.

Have you been looking in my wardrobe oldbatty ?

I wouldn’t touch any of the outfits in the link with a barge pole ???

I bought a velvet tunic top with sparkles and stars on from White Stuff with 20% discount.

Thanks momb - yes the dress is really comfortable. I love Bombshell dresses but only have two so far! Working towards a collection

My diet has paid off, I have a 'vintage' little black Gina Bacconi number that I treated myself to 30 years ago when we led a very social life and it fits again, so I do not need to go shopping for a party dress!

Not a great pic ,the link is a better one but got this beautiful "bordeaux" coloured knit dress with sparkles and cold shoulders from M&Co,Reduced from £60 to £30. I wanted something Christmassy but not lacey and think it will suit so many occasions. www.mandco.com/diamante-embellished-cold-shoulder-shift-dress-bordeaux/1703595.html?dwvar_1703595_color=0824&cgid=10010090#start=164

Sorry, none of those outfits float my boat.

batty..
You have Jo Brand's humour.
