Putting on the Glitz



Putting on the glitz.


.
Yesterday was a day for glitzing up.  On the trees inside and out with fairy lights.  And on me, with a subtle twinkly jumper and diamond mix for drinks with the neighbours. 
The leather-look jeans and knee boots are my requested “uniform” for winter drinks ... well you’ve got to keep your neighbours happy, eh?



So, the lights are on but no tree decs made it to the tree yesterday.  
BITD I used to decorate the whole HOUSE in an afternoon.  These days even decorating the tree has to be done in stages.  I think this is called Old Age. .


Do you find decorating for Christmas is a slower process as you get that little bit older?
Or is it that we just have more time to stretch out the festive decorating?




A la perchoine,

    Decorating the Christmas tree in our household has taken 8 years so far...without a tree it just doesn't seem to work. Bah humbug!!

    We decorate in one day but the boys are a big help and I do a lot of directing - ha!!! Also, our tree is pre-lit and that saves so much time.
    No wonder your neighbors requested this outfit - you look amazing in it! Decorate less and spend more time enjoying drinks with the neighbors, that's what the season is all about!

    Didn't always comment but very much enjoyed your monochromatic series. Really thought you looked good in all of them. As for decorating, I keep it simple these days as the packing away has to be quick as we travel after Xmas.

    I decorated my tree today and although we don't do much in the way of room decoration I just couldn't face it - it's definitely old age!

    Loving the glitzy jumper!

      Yup, definitely becomes more a struggle each year, but the family have my tree a resounding thumbs-up YUSS! That makes it worthwhile.
