The Christmas Outfit Dilemma: Christmas Day

Outfit: Christmas Day

 

I cant believe its just over a week till Christmas! I can't wait! I still need to wrap all the gifts Iv bought people...iv been putting it off, I'm terrible at wrapping!!... I've been reading DIY Christmas posts lately, I think I'm going to give home made Christmas cards a go next year, I just think they're so cute and personal!

Here are my picks for a Christmas day outfit...

If you can't rock a Christmas jumper on Christmas day, when can you?! I've gone for these two from Newlook, Christmassy, cosy and oh so cute, who doesn't love a reindeer print?! You can never go wrong with a pair of skinnies, Iv gone for a denim pair, not my usual black pair of skinnies, shock horror! lol I thought I'd bring some colour to my outfit on Christmas day! A statement necklace, I'm loving statement necklaces at the moment, the one here is from Newlook. A pair of tan ankle boots, again these are from Newlook...I'm loving Newlook right now! A simple and stylish watch and a classic black Zara bag.  I've also added in a red lip to dress it up.

Christmas outfit sorted!

 

The Christmas Outfit Dilemma: Part 1. The Work Christmas lunch...

The outfit dilemma… it’s the same every year, I never know what to wear for the main “events” for the holidays, you know the ones… The work Christmas lunch, Christmas eve, Christmas day and New Years eve.

I get stressed out enough as it is buying gifts for everyone and all the wrapping…I hate wrapping! I’ve never been very good at it! But then I have to decide on what to wear as well! Soo, I’ve decided to do a little 4 part series, just to show my “outfits of choice” for each of the 4 “events” of the holidays.

 

So this is Part 1…The work Christmas lunch outfit…

 

 

Outfit: Work Christmas lunch

 

My work Christmas lunch falls on a Friday, so it will be a “dress down day” but I didn’t want to dress down too much.  I wanted something comfy that’s still casual enough for the office but work meal out appropriate!

 

I’ve gone for a pair of black high waist skinny jeans (a wardrobe essential), a shirt that has a rather masculine cut but with a feminine print (I’ll be tucking this in to my high waist jeans and untucking it slightly round the edges, if that make sense!), a black blazer (another wardrobe essential) some cute boots, a black bag…you can never really go wrong with a Zara bag! And a gold spike necklace as a contrast to the girly heart print on the shirt.



December: My Christmas Wish List & maybe a giveaway?

As it’s now December I can finally start getting into the Christmas spirit! Christmas movies, the Christmassy hot drinks, the decorations, Christmas music, cosy Christmas jumpers… I could go on, but I’ll stop myself! Lol I think is fair to say that I’m a total sap for it all!

 

I love reading the Christmas gift guide posts, but as there’s a ton of them flying about, so I thought I’d do a post of some of the things that are on my Christmas wish list this year! …

 

 

01.    Zara City Bag:    Chic, classic, perfect!

02.    Philosophy Bubble bath/Shower gel in Peppermint:    Anything to make my bath/shower experience better, I’m all over it! Plus, it’s the perfect Christmas scent!

03.    Aromatherapy Associates bell:    SO cute! And the perfect way to test out the brand!

04.    The Bobbie Brown eye shadow palette in soft brown:    The perfect palette??

05.    Laura Mercier blush in Peach Whisper:    I’ve been eyeing this up for ages, but have never taken the plunge to buy it, so why not add it to my Christmas list!

06.    Starbucks Hot Chocolate gift set:    Everyone loves a good Starbucks Christmas gift set… even if it’s just for the mugs! ;)

07.    Charbonnel et Walker, Pink Marc de Champagne Truffles:    My all time FAVORITES!


Ps.  If there’s enough interest, I was thinking of doing a little Christmas giveaway, just as a thank you to all the people still following my teeny blog! So to anyone out there who reads this, what do you think?
