Welcome to my blog! I thought I'd kick off with some Christmas Outfit Ideas. I have no doubt many of us have been frantically shopping for our loved ones, and planning Christmas, with little time left to contemplate what to wear ourselves on the special day. I consider it my duty to offer some style inspiration and tips if you're stuck for ideas.
Outfit #1 - The Shirt Dress
Suitable for most body shapes, this white stripe shirtdress is also great in that it's a cool colour and the vertical stripes are slimming and lengthens your silhouette. Pair it with white leggings/jeggings if cool or conscientious about your legs. Why not accessorise with a Love pendant (given there's a lot of love to share on Christmas day) and a fabulous cuff OR statement drop earrings and dress ring (but not all together as would be far too busy). Add some comfy but fabulous silver sandals for that Christmas sparkle and why not a Christmas ball handbag for some fun and pop of colour.
Outfit #2 - White Day Dress
The style of this dress is ideal for various body shapes again. For those with broad shoulders, the deep V neckline draws emphasis away while the fuller skirt gives balance to the overall silhouette. The fuller skirt is also an effective disguise for larger hips/bottom in that it falls over, not clings to the lower half. The waistline on this style of dress is great for emphasising the small waistline of those with hour glass figures while also creating a waistline for women with rectangle type bodies with no defined waist. The all white colour is also slimming. Why not accessorise with a thin black scarf tied into a bow tie for a sophisticated twist, black ankle strap heels and ear cuffs to add a little edge to the femininity of the dress. For fun, and colour, opt for a green clutch and some lippy.
Outfit #3 - Celebrate Curves
This style of dress is ideal for the more curvy, plus size woman, making her look and feel fabulously elegant on Christmas day or for Christmas dinner. The diamantes on the shoulder and open neckline draws attention to her beautiful face, along with the star diamante earrings and red lipstick, injecting a pop of colour. The dress itself skims over, not clings to the tummy or body, down to the knees. The longer sleeves give confidence if conscientious about her arms, while not being too loose to make the arms appear bigger. The darker, block colour gives a slimming effect by keeping the silhouette simple. Add stylish but understated kitten heels to keep the focus on her profile area (face and neckline) and add a star clutch for some added Christmas cheer and fun.
