Miss Selfridge Satin Ruched Bust Jumpsuit
The tricky thing about a work party is finding an outfit with the right mix of festivity and sophistication. We think this silky jumpsuit ($39) will do just fine. The sweetheart neckline and puff shoulders provide a more fancy look, while the silhouette is relaxed and billowy. As for accessories, you can do just about anything: a bold headband, dangly earrings, or a necklace with some sparkle.
