Little black dresses at great prices

If you want to get ahead of the game before the madness starts this Friday there are some early bargains to be had.  If you are looking for a LBD for the holiday period look no further. One of my favourite brands Hopefashionuk have some great reductions on their black dresses and tops.

One of the most useful items you can have in your wardrobe is a LBD. However as we get older black, especially near the face, may not be our most flattering. It is the clever use of colour and accessories that can make all the difference between draining and alluring. The LBD needs drama. Wear sexy colourful shoes, with a small heel if possible. Leopard goes well with black. Bold jewellery is also good, especially earrings and necklaces. A chic handbag will also lift black. Don’t forget to adapt your make-up. Your skin should look as luminous as possible. wear a bolder shade of your favourite lipstick.

SHOWN ABOVE:  Red tassels earrings  // Black drape dress   (reduced from £60 to £25) // red bag  // long black boots // Gold earrings  // Black Assymmetric knit (From £110 to £50) //  Leopard bag  // black trousers  //  leopard pumps

More LBD options

Here I have used this seasons “on trend” burgundy colour to lift the black.

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.
