I’m not sure why, but I’m really loving conservative dresses at the moment. I don’t know if it’s a symptom of the biting winter winds or perhaps just a sign of age... but whatever the reason, I have a feeling that less is more this season.

I’m thinking, rather than getting overexcited at the Christmas party and getting it all out – why not just tone it down by revealing just a little bit of leg, or perhaps a modest flash of cleavage. That way, even if you do end up a little worse for wear, at least you won’t be one of those* girls and embarrass yourself in front of your boss, superiors, discerning colleagues etc etc.

Here is my selection of classy Christmas party attire.
