FESTIVE FITS!

Christmas Cheer

Christmas is around the corner and we'll soon be into the new year! With all the prep to buy loved ones the perfect gifts, there are work do's, Christmas meals and socials to get dressed up for.
I find at this time of year, it's fun to join in the festivities and look the part. I tend to wear a lot of tartan, reds and knitwear. Without realising I gravitate to these specifics, in this cheerful season.
Here are 5 outfits to inspire you. Enjoy!!! :)

This maxi skirt is soft, flirty and simple. I paired it with a cropped glittery jumper and a pair of shocking red heels. This outfit is cute and casual for a night out to the movies with some friends. Throw on a leather jacket, an oversized scarf and you're festively fabulous for the night!

JUMPER- H&M
SKIRT- Vintage Shop
SHOES- United Footwear

For a snazzy dinner with the work colleagues, this look is very fitting. Here I am wearing a gold lace cropped shirt, paired with wide leg trousers. The trousers are chic for any dressy occasion. The gold shirt adds colour, texture and a Christmas feel. A fur coat and a clutch bag will take this look up a notch.

SHIRT- Charity Shop
TROUSERS- CMD
SHOES- United Footwear

I bought this dress around 3-4 years ago to wear to my friends hen night. It's a fussy dress with a loud print. Because it is quite a statement piece, less is more. The hounds tooth pattern is flattering for any shape, giving the illusion of an hour glass figure. To compliment the dress, I have chosen to wear a mesh pair of boots. This outfit is ideal for a Christmas party. Team it with a long trench coat and a dainty body bag!

DRESS- River Island
HEELS- H&M

The tartan print for me always feels very festive, especially in red or blue/green! These high-waisted trousers are perfect for a social with friends. They're comfortable yet dressy. I chose to pair these trousers with a plain nude turtle neck (being that I'm a girl of simplicity).  To liven up this ensemble, a bold statement necklace can be worn, along with a power shoulder blazer.

TROUSERS- Market (I think)
HEELS- United Footwear

For those ladies that feel more comfortable in trousers, but still want to look and feel feminine, this outfit is for you. A glossy fitted shirt or blouse, paired with long tailored trousers and high heels, will have you feeling comfortable yet stylish. I chose these items to wear together, as the colour of the trousers and texture of the shirt is festive! Along with the vibrant heels, makes for a chic, effortless look. A long camel trench coat will pull this look in, having you feeling lush for any Christmas event.

STYLE TIP: You may not celebrate Christmas or care for the real meaning, but allow yourself to be around loved ones. Use this season to cherish and spend time with family and true friends! Be kind, extend an olive branch (or mistletoe) and do a random act of kindness. Dress in the spirit of love!
