    What is a dress? If you take a look at M&Co, you will see that a dress can be the most versatile item in your wardrobe, one that can quite literally take you to any, and every event in your social calendar. A dress will work for a wedding, the races, a party, the tennis or a christening. But it can also be screwed up and added to your holiday suitcase, be worn with a pair of trainers for the school run, or be teamed with neat ballet flats for the office (notice I’m not teaming with heels ladies, wear them if you want to.).

    Sizzling sales picks from M&Co

    It is a well-known fact that the best time to buy yourself a dress for New Year’s Eve is in the Christmas sale. It is also a well-known fact that the January Sales we all used to love no longer exist, with the best sales bargains now all snapped up even before Santa Claus has paid that annual visit. With most delivery dates for Christmas being extended as late as the 22nd/23rd of December, you can still find yourself a perfect outfit to wear over the festive period, or even grab a last-minute Christmas present for a loved one, saving a huge amount of pennies into the bargain.
