A Dress to Dance In

Some dresses are meant to flare and twirl, meant to be danced around the lawn. .

My neighbours must think I’m going stir crazy 😜 !!

This jersey dress has great movement. 

My little exercise of matching cardis to dresses at the beginning of the season has paid off.   At the end of my “working day” grabbing an outfit-on-a-hanger is but a moment’s work but gives me pairings I hadn’t peeviously matched.   

For example, this cardi’s embroidered flowers picks up the colour of this jersey dress a treat.

Have you tried creating outfits in a hanger for easy dressing?

The Santa Baby Steal

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I wish you joy and calm, unity and hope; heaven knows we need it right now.

And I have a Christmas present 🎁 for you.

Because you're worth it.

It's a bit of frivolity and fun and it's my best EVER style steal.

I meant to pop it under your tree last night but I fell asleep after my Ovaltine (yup it's rock n roll all the way in the Pout house!).

So better late than never, I give you my step-by-step guide to

creating the perfect Santa Baby outfit.  Here's how you do it.

Take one plain red jersey dress.

Add tinsel.  Decide tinsel is not enough.

Start with the plain red jersey dress again.

Add Santa hat and old white faux fur stole found in cupboard a few days ago when searching out something to cover the base of the Christmas tree.

Decide the Hollywood Glam look is fine but something is missing.

Search house for real Santa 🎅 inspo.  Find two Santas.

Realise waist-cincher belt is the missing piece in this outfit.

Et voila!  The Santa 🎅 Steal.

My Santa🎅 Baby outfit!

And here's Kylie's.

Merry Christmas everyone,

Glaedelig Jul, Joyeux Noel, Feliz Navidad!

A la perchoine,

Mary.
