They called it a challenge, I like a challenge... CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
Shapewear is definitely essential with a figure hugging dress but just to give a little bit of advice from someone who has made every mistake in the book - go for medium control. I know it's so tempting to go for complete control but I promise you, if you value the use of your lungs and other vital organs, go for medium!
I loved this dress because people with a pear shape like me should always accentuate their waist to help pull your figure together without looking bottom heavy. Seeing as I'm a curvy girl, sleeves are a must for me which is why this dress was ideal.
I know there's Gold on the dress but I wanted to add some contrast which is why I went for silver shoes & accessories.The silver shoes are by sole diva and come in a EEE fitting which is ideal for those of you who like me, struggle to find shoes that have straps that will fit a wide foot or tall arch. These ones are super comfortable and fit like a dream!
The bag adds some extra glam to the outfit, it is Christmas afterall! and the bracelet & necklace bring it all together with a touch of class and elegance.
Here is a list of everything from Marisota just in case you fancied a wee neb... (a nosy around for all you non Scottish folks!)

As for hair and makeup, I went for something I knew would look classy and yet fancy at the same time as this dress really is gorgeous.
I simply straightened my hair then tied it in a messy bun at the back, before loosening off the look and pulling out small sections of hair to make it look more natural.
For Makeup, I kept the eyes pretty simple and clean with a pretty basic eye to make my eyes look wide awake. I made sure to have flawless skin (always make sure to set your foundation with powder, particularly in Winter!) and finished the look with a slick of plum coloured lippy.
Such a gorgeous look (If I do say so myself) that I really look forward to wearing over Christmas & into the New Year.
What Wintry trends are you loving right now? How would you have styled this?
