So, the shops are so full of sequins and sparkle that I'd wear sunglasses except for the fact that it would make me look like a WAG or sub-D list celeb trying to draw attention to themselves.
Yes, it's xmas time and we all know what that means - serious thought must be applied to party outfits. Specifically the cherry on top of an outfit, the coat and/or jacket. Living in the frozen north, it's not simply a sartorial decision as not wearing a coat may be feasible for Summer (on the occasional day its not rainy) but in Winter layers are needed. Unless you live in Newcastle...kidding!
On a recent visit to the fast fashion Mecca of Primark, I picked up three different jackets. One dressy, one semi-casual and one that could have been made for Liberace. The dressy one is a fake cinchilla fur in black, with bracelet length sleeves. It's evoking a Bette Davis style, maybe post-makeover in Now, Voyager. Very 1940s, it would have been worn with a skirt suit or a daring evening gown. I'm planning on wearing it with bashed up jeans and a sequin tank top.
The semi-casual I wore out Saturday night, it's also fake fur but more of a monkey fur with short sleeves and cropped length. It's got a lot of volume but I'm digging the silhouette with big shoulders. The Liberace jacket is full on sequins, petrol blue sequins all over a tuxedo style jacket. It makes me feel like a 1970s disco star!
