Fashion: Prepare for party season

Dress from Ruby from www.rubynz.com.

It's that time of year again - your inbox is filling up with party invitations and it feels like every weekend between now and 2014 is booked solid. One of the end-of-year events you likely can't get out of is the work Christmas party. There are all sorts of rules bandied about when it comes to these events but most of them go out the window after a few glasses of Champagne. Make sure you can at least depend on your outfit. A cute clutch, great heels and a knee-length dress are perfect when you want to make just the right impression.
