It’s mid-September and my organised thoughts turn to Christmas socialising. Yes, I know but I take the Christmas season seriously and I like a suitably festive diary.

 

 

The traditional Christmas do is the time to dress up and crack out the sequins. I haven’t done party dressing for a few years. I’ve been hiding, stylistically speaking. It’s about time I came out of hibernation.

 

 

This year, I fancy a tutu. A dark grey tutu worn with classic Adidas three stripe and either a soft slouchy v-neck or something fitted and bejewelled.

 

Clothes are powerful. They can change your mood, give you confidence but they shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Christmas dressing up should be about smiling and dancing and that’s what I intend to do.
