Shop Your Wardrobe: 4 Festive Outfit Ideas
It can be easy to covet something brand new for the upcoming party season. However, it can also be a month of unnecessary excess so why not embrace shopping within your existing wardrobe? Take the time to assess the key pieces you own and attempt to mix and match them in ways you haven’t done so before.
Use the outfit ideas below for inspiration and if tempted, evaluate how often you will wear the pieces and make sure you pick sustainable, high-quality options that will last for many years to come...
Outfit 1
A perfect outfit for Christmas lunch, comfortable enough to eat and drink in but cosy too! Combine your favourite jumper with a dress or skirt, heeled boots and add a pair of oversized earrings for some seasonal sparkle. Use a belt to add structure to the outfit (and then find a way to secretly loosen it after too many mince pies!)
