It makes me cold just thinking about the way I used to dress at this time of year when I was younger. Bare legs didn’t phase me, a mini dress was always in style and I could rarely be bothered to queue for the coat room so I simply didn’t bring one.
“I could rarely be bothered to queue for the coat room so I simply didn’t bring one.”
Now a days I find it just as enjoyable and satisfying, searching for, selecting and wearing the perfect festive outerwear as I do wearing it, being absolutely toasty and quietly smug about it.
So I’ve teamed up with online designer store Avenue 32 to pick my favourite festive outerwear for the Party season obviously starting with this stunning item from Vivetta.
It’s not often that I wear red, but if ever there was a time of year for it, it would be now and this fur collared, Pillbox red coat from Vivetta with Military accents but feminine flare I absolutely fell in love. Kept simple with high-waisted black denim, Over the knee black boots and a metallic cross body bag, the coat is the total focal point of the outfit. This option is most definitely the dressier option for the festive season, ensuring you look great whilst also encapsulating festive cheer. Perfect for Christmas market dates and multiple glasses of mulled wine.

What’s better than wearing a dressing gown all day? Not a lot to be perfectly honest. So we have a lot to thank the person who came up with that idea for, that is for sure.
