Now, is it just me or every other Christmas do you dread the party season for fear of finding nothing but ugly sequined frocks nobody would be seen dead in but your granny down the bingo on a Friday night, and throwback 80s style Madonna dresses in predictable shiny black and purple taffeta, yet, ironically that’s exactly what’s ‘in’ this season.
Every year, not only could I officially mark the arrival of the festive season by the appearance of the infamous coca cola advert and increasing numbers of down and outs passed out on the park bench with a bottle of whiskey; but also by the arrival of all that glitters, sparkles and comes in those five festive favourites gold, silver, black green and red. It had almost become an age old favorite pastime of mine, mocking the delightful ‘Christmas tree look’ and poking fun at the hideousness of garments which should almost certainly have come with a warning ‘only suitable for ages 60+’.
Festive styling has been crying out for a makeover to bring it up to speed and by Joe, hurrah! This year that’s exactly what we got. Usually, panicked by the fast approach of the big day, in sheer desperation I grab something sparkly and ‘glamorous’ that leaves me looking like a middle aged frump and frankly about as glamorous as Susan Boyle on a bad day.
I am at long last delighted to now find myself in quite the opposite predicament. Fresh, modern, stylish and distinctively more youthful here’s a few of my favourite options.
