Once or twice a year I go to the outlet village in Maasmechelen (together with my good friend and partner in crime Katrien!).

In March I bought this beautiful floral bodycon dress from Karen Millen, which I will wear at New Year.

Although this dress is really body-hugging, it is actually quite comfortable as the fabric is really stretchy.

I like the cut of this dress (with some draping at the tummy-area), I like the floral print and I also like the cut-outs at the back of the dress. It gives it just that little extra oomph, don’t you think?!

As less is often more, I will go easy on the accessories. My Fossil bangles and my earrings I bought at Buckingham Palace a couple of years ago will do!

I’ve bought these sexy tights with a seam at the back. They look gorgeous with this dress! And to add a pop of colour, I will take my vibrant blue clutch with me (might have to take a couple of plastic bags to put away all the gifts though…).

What do you think of this outfit? I think it looks very festive! I might be a bit curvy, but us curvy women can pull off a bodycon dress, can’t we! All it takes is a bit of confidence 😉

Love, Kathleen

Here you can see another outfit with that blue clutch!
