Have a late Christmas party coming up or outfit planning for New Year’s Eve and don’t want to wear a dress? Break the party dress rules and rock up in this party dress alternative – the gold trousers.

I did a lot of party season shopping during the Black Friday sales recently and these gold trousers were a statement piece that immediately caught my eye. It can be all too easy to pop on a dress and head out to a Christmas party, especially if you do not have a lot of time to get ready after work before the party. A great way to make a fashion statement during the party season is to wear a party dress alternative like a jumpsuit or trousers and a nice top. I went for the latter in styling this outfit which we shot on location at the Sky Bar at Aspers Casino Stratford.

The whole outfit is actually from Missguided because I have been going through a real Misguided phase lately and the majority of my recent purchases are from there! I thought that the gold textured trousers have a real Christmas feel as they remind me of gold tinsel. I also like how they are straight leg and fitted so look great with a simple pair of ankle strap sandals. I picked up these black velvet barely there shoes from Misguided along with the off-the-shoulder/choker top. This unique choker bardot blouse combines two of my favourite trends of this year – in one item! That being – chokers, more of an Autumn trend; and off-the-shoulder tops which I basically lived in all Summer long. I love it. I think the top strikes a classy balance in terms of showing skin as the rest of the outfit is pretty covered up. I love it. I always love showing a peak of my butterfly tattoo, one of my favourite song lyrics is actually from a Brad Paisley song;

I’d like to see the other half

Of your butterfly tattoo

So this outfit represents my perfect party dress alternative look. It is also so comfortable to wear which is something I try to ensure when picking my party outfit this season. Don’t get me wrong – I love a party dress as much as the next girl but I do think it is nice to mix things up a little and step outside of the fashion box.
