Holiday party- two dreadful words for most warm climate beauties. You want to join in on the holiday cheer but what will you wear? The glittery-foiled invitation says cocktail or festive attire. You have the goods: the silky splurge you purchased in November, but how do you keep warm? Outside ol’ man winter has arrived, a wet and icy freeze is in store and now any attempt to look smart is out of the question. Desperation will now force you to consider your options; you can arrive like an icicle sporting a hoodie and a frozen smile or you can take stock of your wardrobe portfolio and make some investments that will serve you in the future. Now is the time to invest in a product with a high yield return: a great new coat! Whatever the weather, a cool white trench, a high collared military look with snappy gold buttons or maybe a bias cut cinched at the waist with ¾ length gloves look sporty and chic. This wise investment can salvage your image.
For holiday formals a lack of imagination often causes women to freeze rather than flaunt. Of course you can’t wear your fur-lined parka over your gown but you can wear a cashmere pashmina, faux chinchilla jacket, or a draped pashmina sweater to cover up. Remember, there is no such thing as bad weather- only inappropriate clothing! Enjoy it and stay warm!
