How to dress for a Summer Christmas…

Why don’t you…?
* Wear a long cream maxi dress that shows off your shoulders? Wooden bangles up to your elbows? Tan wedges with a wooden sole? Berry hued lipstick and tousled hair?
* Pin a Christmas ornament in your hair?
* Slip into some delicious white linen sailor pants? With a navy and white striped boat neck t-shirt? Pin a natty pill box to your head? Paint your nails in shiny red varnish?
* Ban black?
* Wrap yourself in a silk caftan? Low cut at the front to accentuate your milky tan? Bare feet? With an ankle bracelet? Wrap your hair up in a printed scarf? With shoulder-duster earrings?
* Wear the silly paper hats that come in Christmas crackers? Realise that there is nothing more stylish than a sense of humour?
* Wear a knee-skimming lace dress? With massive chandelier earrings? Your hair in a bee hive? With open-toed court shoes?
Here are a few Christmas posts that I did last year if you feel so inclined to go digging through the archives!
I was a keen little Christmas elf last year wasn’t I???

I can’t believe Christmas is just around the bend again! I am starting to get really excited now that my gift list is almost complete and I only have 2 more days of work. Merry Christmas! Oh and I certainly will dress up in my summery best this year! xx
I take particular offence at suggestion #4. Christmas is a time for coming together not segregation.
@Azz… I hope you are joking and taking banning black to mean black people rather than wearing black clothes.
A tradition that we started last year was thanks to my parents’ host student from Paraguay. It’s apparently quite a Christmas tradition there to wear red on Christmas day. I won’t be wearing all red on Christmas day this year but I did buy this cute red bow tie that I plan on styling on the day
Ban black! YESSSS!!! (The clothing color, obvs, not cats, people, etc.)
Those outfits all sound absolutely delicious! I’m afraid I’m deep in the northern hemisphere, and a lot more likely to be rocking wide-legged sating lined wool trousers and a fitted sweater.
Wonderful ideas. I really wish I was having a summery Christmas!
