The silly season is upon us. Unbelievable. The rumble over the 'where and when' of the Christmas work party is gaining momentum, along with the 'in-law versus family' Christmas negotiations and the 'tested with time' organisation for the annual neighbourhood get together.
Table reservations are being secured, in advance, by savvy PA's at popular restaurants, supermarket shelves are being scrutinized for slashed price 'giggle juice' suitable for stock piling and hire places are accumulating trays of glasses, resin chairs and trestle tables in preparation for the festive gatherings at home or the beach. It's all about socialising and fun!!!
So what to wear??
Does the wardrobe bulge with 'same style different colour' looks that are safe, or is it time to challenge the comfort zone? Absolutely!! Why be predictable? If you're a pants person, look for a dress – just for a change. Nothing is more exciting than finding something fabulous that you thought you could never wear. If you love wearing black – look for a bold exciting red, lime, cerise pink or a striped white, 'wow" piece in a jacket, singlet or cover up that gives life to black and makes you stand out – you're worth it!!
