Everyone I know says they're drowning in invites right now, so I thought I'd turn my attention this week to party dressing. When I'm shopping for a great event piece, I'm always looking for something bold enough to make a statement while being timeless enough to wear season after season. If it takes me a while to decide whether I like it, then it's not for me.
The best investment buys are the ones like this Comet dress by Alice Temperley (above). I just loved it the minute I put it on because I could imagine myself wearing it again and again for all sorts of events. Whether you're shopping for a pre-Christmas night out with the girls or that showpiece for New Year's Eve, here are a few of my favourites.
