Alice Hart scouted out these sequined shorts as this fortnight’s Bargain Buy

The Christmas party season is fast approaching and that can only mean one thing: sequins, and lots of them! They are the epitome of all things festive, and are available on the high street in an array of colours. IÔÇÖm grateful that River Island are embellishing everything and transforming an otherwise plain pair of shorts. Their latest offering is a pair of dark red, sequin-covered shorts, reminding me somewhat of mulled wine ÔÇô something that I know I will be knocking back over the festive period. So, thank the genius who created the easy zip-back fastening, which makes it easier to wriggle out after a few too many cups! Price-wise, I think IÔÇÖve met my ideal match at only ┬ú30, but popular sizes are selling out fast, so snap them up ASAP ÔÇô just donÔÇÖt beat me to it!
