What to wear this Festive Season - Part 2

Part 2 of this THREE PART SERIES on what to wear this season is about dressing more edgy and less classic. Today I'll be giving advice on how to look fashionable and edgy but still appropriate for those Festive parties and dinners. 

Leather dresses are really IN now but you can make them more feminine by adding cute accessories. You don't always have to go for black or gold clutches, colours look really good when you are wearing a black or dark coloured dress. They will help you stand out more and be more approchable. A fully black or dark outfit doesn't give off a very 'happy' vibe.
