A Week In Christmas Party Outfits | Hello October

Hi everyone, welcome back to my channel. So before anyone comments, yes, my hair is very, very dark. I had it dyed last Friday, went a little bit darker than normal, and I'm still waiting for it to settle and kind of wash out a little bit. It is what it is. Moving on, today I have a week in Christmas outfits video for you, which is basically should be renamed things that you're gonna see me wearing over the next month or so. We are one outfit short. There was one outfit that I had planned in and I just looked an absolute state in it when I put it together. And do you know what? I thought six would be fine. It's a nice even number. I like an even number. It involved a sparkly dress. I don't really like sparkly as it is. It was not cute. The theme that I took away from this is Grinchmas because there's not a ton of festive sparkle in this video. So if you are not into your kind of cliche Christmas, sparkly things, red things, gold things, then this video is for you. I really hope you enjoy it. So that being said, let's get into it. So this is outfit number one. It's probably my favorite outfit, I think, of this entire video. And it's really, really simple. So it's probably the least, is it the least festive? I don't know. There's a few questionable ones. I'm looking at them all over there. This is Christmas dressing for Grinches. I feel like there's a few festive ones in there, but yeah, this one is my favorite. It's the most neutral. You probably wear this any other time of the year, which I actually think is really nice. I wanted to give some options in case you do pick things up that you can re-wear. It's not just like a sparkly dress that you will wear maybe for Christmas and New Year and then not really re-wear again. I wanted to give you some options for things that you can re-wear winter, summer, depending on where you live, temperature. I'm never gonna get it right for everyone, so let's just move on. But yeah, I love this outfit. I would wear this over and over again. So I've got my standard Bershka leather jacket, and then I've got a little top underneath. It's just like a little vest top from Pretty Little Thing. And then my trousers are also from Pretty Little Thing. I really, really like them. I wanna kind of show you. They've got like a cross stitch kind of pattern. It's really, really cute. And just a little like rope tie, which kind of casuals them down a bit. You could kind of tuck that in if you wanted to. I don't really mind. And then my shoes are from Topshop. I really like these. So let me see if I can show you. I have to like hold myself up when I do this because otherwise I'm gonna die. But yeah, they have this kind of like Perspex band over the centre of your foot, which is actually incredibly comfortable. I thought there was no way in hell these shoes were gonna be comfortable, but they're really, really comfy. And they've got a little strap that goes across the back of your heel to kind of stop you slipping in and out of them. The heel's very thin, but it's actually really comfortable to walk in. So yeah, I really like this outfit. You'll probably see me get a lot of wear out of this going forward because it's just great. And then I've also got my Chanel bag. I'm not gonna do accessories too much in this video just because I kind of wanna focus more on the pieces, but you can kind of dress all of these outfits that I'm gonna show you up really, really nicely if you want to, or you can leave them more simple. So outfit number two is one that you will have seen quite recently. This I wore to the premiere of Fantastic Beasts, number two. And I just really love this outfit. This continues along the theme of Grinchmas because it's obviously not super, super dressy, but super, super dressy, super, super festive, but I love it. I absolutely love it. And I think the texture of the outfit actually kind of, that's kind of where the festive nod comes in because this blazer is actually like a velvet material. I don't know if you can see the light in here. It's quite light, just not great at the moment. Winter lighting, not the one. I've kept the pretty little thing top on from the previous outfit. And then I've got these trousers, which are from Topshop. And then my heels are my YSL, very, very high heels. And I think because the blazer has a little bit of padding to the shoulders, which can kind of like bulk you out slightly, the extra little bit of height is quite nice. Not like crucial, but it's just like, that's my choice. And then I've also got my YSL bag on as well. And I think the matching, this is like a velvet material, and I think the matching textures is quite nice. And also the detailing on this bag is quite festive as well. It's got a little bit of sparkle. Yeah, I love this outfit. It's very, very warm. This blazer is not thin, it's actually quite thick. So I find this keeps me really warm, like I'm starting to get a little bit hot in it right now. So it's a really nice option, I think, for Christmas parties. And unless you're a very, very cold person or you're walking, I don't think you'll need a coat with this one. But yeah, I love this. This is one of my faves. Okay, outfit number three. I wasn't sure on this one, but Lois liked it, so I decided to keep it in. But these are, these are festive. These are kind of like Joanie, they're Joanie jeans, but they're like a, how do I describe this? Like, can you see, they're like metallic. I do really like them, they're fun. They are very difficult to style. I found this part of the video quite difficult. But I decided to pair it with this cashmere roll neck from, I can't remember the brand, I got it from Amazon Fashion. I will link it if I can. But I thought seeing as the jeans are, what's the word? They're a statement. Because they are such a statement, I thought that I would just keep the top half really simple and plain. And I feel like having a jumper on the top kind of negates the need for too many extra layers, like too many coats and scarves and things like that. So the outfit can stay more. About the trousers, paired it with my YSL little bag again. And then I went for the Topshop heels just because they're quite simple. And I also feel like they just kind of elongate the leg, whereas a boot might kind of cut it off a little bit more. So yeah, I just thought that that was kind of the perfect mix. So that is what we're going for. I'd love to know what you think about this outfit because I really was like, not sure. So yeah, let me know. I'm scared. But yeah, I asked Lois, I was like, hey. Yeah, I'd love to know what you think about these and how you would style them as well. If you have them or if you were thinking of buying them or whatever, how would you style them? Pop comments below, please. Okay, outfit number, I've lost track of what outfit we're on. The next outfit is this suit from Topshop. You will have seen me wear this before on Instagram in a slightly different way. I didn't have a top here and I just had the blazer unbuttoned, but I thought I'd go for just something slightly different today. I saw this styled this way on Instagram, except the girl had trainers on, which I just thought was so cool. So you could also do that if you're not a fan of heels. I thought it looked amazing. So yeah, the suit is from Topshop. Top is pretty little thing, again, same YSL clutch. And then I've just worn the Topshop heels just because they are really simple and they don't take away from the suit too much and they don't pop out underneath the trousers too much or anything like that. But yeah, I love this suit. It's honestly one of my favourite pieces in my wardrobe for Christmas, festive party season. It's so pretty. I have a lot of love for it. It's really cute. So yeah, it's really simple. It's a really easy way of Christmas party dressing as well because I do think like the velvet texture is so festive, but it's not your traditional Christmas colour because it is kind of like a two-piece co-ord. It is really, really quick and easy to kind of style up and it doesn't require too much thinking about, which is why I kind of love Christmas party dressing because it is mostly like dresses and things like that. So it's like super, super easy. You don't really have to think about a lot. But yeah, I love this. I think it makes like a really nice alternative Christmas party piece. And I think it's like a little bit more interesting than kind of like standard suit textures. And it also just reminds me of the Marc Jacobs Lady Gaga suit that she wore. And I was like, I was there for that outfit. I loved it so much. So yeah, I've kind of gone for the slicked back hair vibe as like a nod to that. You could put it into a bun as well. I think I've styled it both ways. I tried it with a bun and slicked back the first time I tried this on and I just loved it so much. So yeah, that is my suit for this video. Love it, love it so much. Okay, so this next outfit is a slightly different take on an outfit that I wore last Christmas. It was basically a Topshop sparkly dress and Topshop sparkly boots. But this dress is from Topshop and it's like a blue velvet with little like sparkly kind of bits at the side. And then my boots are from Missguided. If you've watched my most recent style Q&A, you will have seen these in that. A little bit similar, but not the same because the other dress was quite different and it struck from the shoulders and things like that. Yeah, I just love a sock boot and a bodycon dress. I think they work really nicely together. And I really like the pairing of these two. I love this dress, but I feel like it's so easy to just stick kind of a black pair of shoes with it and be done with it, which would still look great, but I kind of wanted to add a little bit more interest to the outfit, so I went for these. And I actually really like the way that it looks. I think it would look quite cool with either a long coat over the top or with like a black biker jacket, whichever, take your pick. Yeah, this is a really nice kind of winter dress because it has the long sleeves and the velvet makes it a little bit thicker, so it's a little bit warmer as well. But yeah, these shoes are definitely something that everyone needs in their Christmas wardrobe, in my opinion, if you love a statement shoe, you need these. And this final look is one that you see me crack out every year. I've had this jumpsuit for a very, very long time. This is from Self Portrait. I decided to pop this in the video, number one, because I feel like you can still find so many jumpsuits that are like this on the high street and from different retailers and things like that. They just made sense because you can still get your hands on it, but also just any black jumpsuit, I think is like perfect for the festive season when you're kind of like in that moment where you're not really sure what you wanna wear. I always think a black jumpsuit is the one. So just throwing a black bag over it, black heels on, black leather jacket, you are good to go. You can put anything like sparkly on with this as well if you wanna make it more festive. But seeing as we're going with Grinchmas as the theme this year, I thought I'd just leave it a little bit plain. But I wore this jumpsuit to the Gleam Christmas party last year. I will probably wear it to something again this year. I just absolutely love it. It's really well made. It's like really good quality. It's really thick. So you do stay very warm in it, even though the top is lace. I'm gonna take the jacket off so I can show you. That's what the top looks like. It's really, really cute. It's got like a little flare sleeve at the end. It's just one of those things that I will always have in my wardrobe. I feel like it's really nice and timeless. So yeah, that is my last look of this video. I hope you guys have enjoyed it. Let me know if you will be participating in Grinchmas dressing. I would love to know. But yeah, just kidding. I love this outfit though. It's cool. I'll try and link as many dupes as I can for this jumpsuit in the info box below. So that is it for my just under a week in Christmas outfits video. I really hope you enjoyed it. I hope you enjoyed all of the Grinchmas outfits. If you are looking for something a little bit more festive, Azara Hall is coming. I did a 3 a.m. order. I don't know. It was, I was having a moment. I just woke up the next morning. I was like, okay, so that happened. So if you are looking for something a little bit more festive that is coming your way, do not worry. I will have that up for you ASAP. Probably once I'm back from Iceland. I hope you enjoyed this video. Please let me know what your favorite outfit was in the comments below. I hope you enjoyed this. I'm gonna go now because I'm rambling and I will see you all again very soon. Bye.
