Christmas outfit ideas

I am so excited about Christmas so I have decided I will post a few possible outfit ideas for different Christmas situations, enjoy :)

Situation 1 - Christmas shopping (Topshop) 
Topshop was chosen for this occasion because the clothes are very individual and you can easily show off your own style whilst being on trend. This brand is amazing for casual and dressy clothes, it strongest point is individuality.

This knitted jumper from Topshop is gorgeous, the colour, the design and the shape.  At £38.00 I think it's a good deal. You could tuck it into a skirt, wear over a pair of casual jeans or tuck into a pair of hareem trousers. This Jersey could easily be dressed up or down and matched with various accessories, however the focus should be on bracelets or rings here as the neckline carries enough detail.

 See below for 3 outfit options, all clothes come from the topshop website (faux leather quilted skirt £50.00, python print skinny jeans £42.00 and jersey panel hareem trousers £32.00)

Situation 2 - Christmas Party (boohoo)
Boohoo was chosen for this Situation because they have a gorgeous collection of dresses that are not very pricey, I have countless boohoo dresses that receive lots of compliments on different occasions. Boohoo are very produce on trend, yet affordable garments.


Dress 1
This dress is the Jessica Ponti Roma One Shoulder Sequin Sleeve

This dress is £20.00, I think this is an amazing price for a gorgeous dress like this, it doesn't need lots of accessories as it has enough detail as it is. The sleeve is an amazing embroidered pattern with sequins dotted along the design, with one sleeve the dress is modern and on trend. An good dress for a formal occasion.

Dress 2
This dress is the Cassandra Beaded Waist Slinky Fabric Dress.

I love this dress, it is again black and one shouldered but it is so different to the dress number one. The beading detail around the waist gives it a party feel and where the fabric is ruched it gives the dress a more sophisticated feel. For only £25.00 this dress is a party season must!


Dress 3 
This dress is the Larissa Chain Trim Crinkle Shift Dress

For my final dress I knew I wanted something with the three F's (Flirty, Fun & Fabulous) and that is exactly what I thought when I saw this dress, The colour of it is gorgeous, a bright coral. I adore the beaded neckline, it makes the dress sparkle but without looking to over the top. The overall shape of the dress is nice and the sleeves are fabulous. For £20.00 this dress is perfect for any girly-girl that's ready for a good night out!

 Situation 3 - Christmas day (New Look)
For some of us Christmas day is a day full of relaxation and carefree-ness, for others it's about looking and feeling our best, whatever Christmas day is about to you, you'll find an outfit idea here

I have chosen new look for this look as the clothes are a mixture of casual and formal. The garments are always affordable and will suit any occasion.

Relaxing Christmas day
 How gorgeous are these little pyjamas from new look, they have presents on them making them perfect for Christmas but they are also adorable! At only £15.99 they're perfect to wear on Christmas day.








Fabulous Christmas day
            I think this is a perfect outfit for Christmas day, it gives a sparkly, fun feel, it looks good and it isn't very expensive. I love the embellishment on the top, the colour of the top and the patterns of the beads make this top utterly gorgeous. As the top is very bright and sparkly, the bottom needs to e simple in order for the outfit to work, that's why a plain black tube skirt works well here. This outfit could be finished off with a few bangles, a cocktail ring and a pair of ballet pumps - simple!

Top: Beaded Mesh Camisole £22.99
Skirt: Tube Skirt, Black, £7.99


Traditional Christmas day 


I couldn't resist taking a traditional Christmas connotation and putting a twist on it, here I have taken the idea of a traditional Christmas jumper and swapped it for an aztec print jumper and added a pair of stunning black fringed leggings. You can wear this look with minimal or lots of jewellery, personally I think that this ensemble would look gorgeous with layered gold necklaces and a couple of statement rings, also a messy up-do.

Jumper: Aztec Jumper £24.99
Leggings: Te Amo Tassel Leggings £19.99
