The winter party dress you can wear to work

The winter party dress you can wear to work

Brrr, it's getting chilly. Winter is coming, and your wardrobe needs to be prepared. Make one investment this multi-tasking party dress.

Ah, how we love a multitasker, whether it's a foundation that conceals, a reversible bag or a dress that you can wear anywhere.

There was a distinct nip in the air this morning. I couldn't face wearing the light shirt I had laid out for myself last night and swapped it for a sweater. At this time of year, cosiness is key. Winter is simply not the time to be going bare-legged and short sleeved.

As party season looms, we must think about our wardrobes. Obviously, everyone needs a few new bits for all the toing and froing, but you have to save some of your October and November paycheck for, like, other things. The answer is pieces that fit into all occasions. Like this dress from Warehouse (€60). 

It has it all. Long sleeves so you don't have to worry about your pasty winter skin. A high neck to keep out the chill. A plain background that disguises its party potential during the day, and that colourful print that turns it into a disco ball as light fades.

It's absolutely suitable for work but won't look out of place at a bar either. Wear it with comfy flats during office hours, and a pair of funky high-heeled boots come cocktail hour.
