It may be social-acceptable to refer to Christmas as the time of giving, but it is really the time to be frocking up and going out to as many fabulous parties that are humanly able to be scheduled.
Below I showcase my favourite outfits for this time of year to suit each side of your personality.
Miss Sophisticated
Miss Sophisticated has admired the finer things in life ever since she was playing with her silver Tiffany's baby rattle. She is confident and demands attention. She would not be caught dead in the same dress as someone else.
