It's great to have a non-black party dress that can also be worn during the day. Great if you work and need to go from the office to a party and great if you want to be able to wear a going out suitable dress on the school run. I think this Marks & Spencer number ticks all those boxes so it was my first choice when I was asked to chose from Marks & Spencer's party dress range for this 1 dress, 3 ways challenge.

| Limited Collection Tweed Dress ℅ Marks & Spencer |
It's a lovely textured material in grey/black/cream tones with gold thread running through it but it was the pleather detail on the shoulders and waistband that won me over. A nod to a current trend and I think it's what makes this dress so good for day to night styling.
But first the working woman look. I've styled the dress with a black belt, cream silk shirt, a beaded necklace and ankle booties.

| Dress - Marks & Spencer Cream Silk Shirt - Joseph Necklace - Local Boutique (old) Black 100D Tights - Marks & Spencer Suede Booties - Dunnes Stores Handbag - Fossil from Menarys Glasses - Firmoo |
And for the after work night out - whip the shirt off, grab a statement necklace, a clutch and higher shoes and you're all set..
 |
| Necklace - New Look Clutch - LK Bennett Shoes - Red Herring at Debenhams (similar in this link) |
 |
| White Top - GAP Black Flat Riding Boots - Carl Scarpa Gold Patterned Scarf - River Island |
 |
| Coat - Karen Millen (past season) Handbag - Fossil c/o Menarys |
So, thanks to M&S, I've got my Boxing/St. Stephen's Day outfit sorted and another great dress that's going to earn its keep in my wardrobe. Now to decide how to style it :)
There's a great range of party and Christmas dresses in M&S at the moment - worth checking out with pre-Christmas delivery until 19th December and in-store delivery until 12pm on the 20th so it's not too late to get your Christmas outfit organised!
Oh and if you want to see another M&S dress styled 3 ways, pop over to Maria's blog at Miss Drifted Snow White to see her styling a totally different dress - LOVE it!
