the party edit – festively smart

Sometimes the occasion calls for a little more sophistication, maybe a little bit of old skool glamour too. Not all Christmas parties revolve around how many shots the accounts department can sink in an hour or how long your Jager train can be. It is such a magical time of year with so many wonderfully festive occasions and places whether it’s a classic trip to the Ballet or Christmas theater visit, the outfit deserves just as much care and attention. Layering this staple tuxedo jacket from Hush clothing over  a full skirt was one of those impulse moves as I’m just not equipped to handle this time of year without something to cover me up and the addition of the belt added even more Poof to the full skirts that AX Paris do so well.  And with the festive season in full swing their New In section is bursting with Christmas Glitz and glamour for all occasions! And a festive pop of red from the usual suspects, Loubs and M.A.C.
