Short cuts to creating a stylish Christmas look…
19 sleeps to go! Are you feeling the joy or are you feeling the stress, overwhelm and tiredness already? I’m not sure I can help you on the organising or catering front (I’ve never baked a cake in my life and have yet to start my Christmas shopping!) However, what I can do is take the panic out of finding that perfect Christmas outfit. Rather than opting for a completely new ‘Christmas’ look for that drinks do or party, why not think about adding one of the following and see the difference it makes….
Add a statement shoe (or two even!)
There are so many options to choose from – from high to kitten heel to flat. Simply adding these to a pair of jeans will instantly elevate whatever you wear. And if ‘elevation’ is not for you – try some statement flats like these
Add some fabulous hosiery
Whether you opt for sheer or prefer to stay warmer in opaques, hosiery can completely transform an outfit. I love “teaming” (yes “teaming”) sheer polka dot tights with a little black dress or coloured opaques that matching footwear which instantly gives the illusion of longer legs. And if you’re a sock girl (yes, I know you’re out there) – they look amazing with everything from loafers to platforms.
Add some jewellery and then add some more!
As regular readers will know, I love statement jewellery, especially styled with a pared down, casual outfit. Whenever you’re having one of those days when nothing feels right – opt for something simple and then add some fabulous jewellery – it really will transform how you look and feel.
I hope this takes the pressure off and gives you inspiration for your social events – there’s often no need to buy a whole new outfit. Now pass me a glass of champagne and let’s get this festive season started.
You're very welcome
Have a great week-end and feel free to share this post.
