I've found the perfect office party dress and it’s less than £100

I don't mean to brag, but I've found the perfect office party dress for you. You know the one, the unicorn dress that isn't too dressy that it covers every scenario from a pub lunch to after work drinks, but dressy enough that it makes you feel that little bit special.

This season, it comes courtesy of & Other Stories, and rings in at just under £100. It is the perfect seasonal update on the little black dress, thanks to puff sleeves and gathered dress, very Scandi chic.

It has a rich jacquard pattern too, just to add some festive vibes. Plus, it is midi length, which pretty much suits everyone. As I said, this dress will cover any sartorial scenario.

If you don't want to feel too dressed up, layer it over a thin roll-neck and wear with boots. For something more formal, team it with a chunky gold necklace and strappy sandals.

It has already been given the seal of approval by a few fashion influencers, a sure fine it's going to be popular, so don't mess about if you want it.

You may not need another black dress, but my question is, can you ever have too many? Exactly.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
