How to wear black and not look boring

Black is always a fail-safe option once the
festivities kick in. So, I’ve written a piece about how to wear it and not look bland for the Guardian, HERE. I know from my own experience that I tend to gravitate towards a couple of items in my wardrobe at this time of year. There’s a black velvet jacket I bought for a fiver in a second-hand shop in
Peckham before second-hand became vintage and Peckham became the new
Dalston/Shoreditch/whatever. Slip it on over a simple outfit and I’m ready to
party.
Here are a few of my favourite pieces:

John Lewis Tear Drop necklace, £35, available HERE. Cashmere jumper, £75, available HERE. Leather-look jeans, £80, available HERE.

 

Essington maxi dress, £139,  from Baukjen, available HERE.

Embellished front dress, £175, from Jaeger, available HERE.

Dogtooth jacquard coat, £198, from Jigsaw, available HERE.
Baukjen Coco shirt, £99, available HERE and Henley lace skirt, £99, available HERE.
Do you have any party pieces that you always rely on?
