My festive round-up - part two

Hello again and welcome to the second part of my festive round-up. This was one of my first festive offerings, a daytime look and gentle lead-in to the Christmas holidays by way of this ancient velour two-piece topped off with my orange padded sequinned jacket. 

The embroidered suit was from Zara, probably about 10 years ago I'd guess. I like that it's got a hood as sometimes you just need an extra bit of warmth. 

The orange sequinned jacket was from TK Maxx many years ago and every Christmas it makes a joyful appearance. It's what used to be called a Bobby dazzler I suppose.

The orange plastic rings were both charity shop finds from years ago...

...and the sunglasses are by Radley London, also from a long time ago.

The black patent boots were from Deichman last month. 

This is the outfit I wore to work in that betwixt time, after Christmas and before New Year - the feather trimmed co-ord is by Karen Millen. I wore it on Christmas day last year and haven't worn it since then. Such a shame really as I do love it but just lack the opportunity to gad about in it.

This time I've added my Sarah Jessica-Parker boots aka Kurt Geiger ones. They're actually one size too big but once I added a lovely soft pair of insoles they are a dream to wear - no pinching my toes and bouncy underfoot!

Adding my new (F&F) shaggy jacket seemed like a masterstroke here. I love the glamour of this and how it has transformational powers turning me into a truly fluffy version of myself.

Oh, the joys of festive dressing!

And oh, how truly fabulous are these boots!

Clearly I'll never be able to give up work otherwise where on earth can I wear these kind of outfits?

Last of all is this, my New Year's Eve outfit. Once again I'm revisiting that glorious combination of my favourite colour and the obligatory dazzling sequins. You really can't go wrong with this can you? The brand is Boohoo, bought from Vinted almost 12 months ago with NYE in mind. It was brand new with tags on, but strangely I didn't think to try it on immediately and it was only two weeks ago that it occurred to me that it may not fit - luckily it did!

For this (daytime) photoshoot I wore this cream bejewelled vest but on the night I decided that it might be too hot so simply opted to wear the shirt on its own. A good move too!

The Steve Madden gemstone boots were a challenge indeed for my feet on the dancefloor that evening. I didn't sit down all night and golly did I pay the price for that!

So that pretty much winds things up for my festive outifts. Please do leave me a comment if you've enjoyed seeing these, or even if you didn't...

Next week I'll share a look inspired by the style icon that is Claudia Winkleman as seen on the Traitors recently. I apologise for this in advance as it may not be everyone's cup of tea.
