The LBD Raid
I’m well aware most women can be transformed from a screaming banshee into a delectable mermaid by a dose of retail therapy. Successful R.T allows us ladies to return home and cook a lovely meal for the man we despised at 9am the same day. Is it the 'bagging a bargain' concept or overcrowding the shared wardrobe with similar items that puts a smile on our faces? Of course, it’s both, and with this week’s LBD Raid you’ll be grinning like you’ve rubbed Vaseline onto your front teeth.
Why? To put it bluntly - it’s fucking gorgeous and super cheap too. This cutest of cute dress by French Connection should become your staple for the Christmas and New Year party season, as it can be readily transformed into a variety of looks to suit your last minute plans (you little socialite!). The ruffle skirt works wonderfully with wet look leggings teamed with a leather jacket for rock chic inspirations (please include a sexy sweep of ruby red lipstick plus ruffled quiff). Alternatively, simply add a stylish waist belt, drop necklace and some platform heels to look 'pretty in the city’. If it’s seriously cold out, then you can layer up with a short sleeved bow-shirt underneath and some black tights which looks glamorous whilst keeping you from turning blue. The list is endless whilst the cost is thankfully not. At the new sale price of £58.23, this dress conforms to fall’s trends as well as the scruples of the economic climate...if I mention the credit crunch one more time I may have to go boil my head.
