Every year, the women's group at my church puts on a Christmas Preview Dinner right after Thanksgiving to help us put things in perspective before the craziness of the Christmas season begins. This year, I co-hosted a table, and helped to decorate it. We went for a simple winter theme, complete with little cardinals. I like how it turned out.

For the occasion, I wore a polka dot skirt that I picked up at the Gap Outlet for $13, a black sweater, and a red satin sash that I made a few years ago. I just wrapped it around my waist twice and tied it in a bow in the back...then decided it would look better in the front. I am so excited to have a polka dot skirt in my closet now. My only complaint: Major static. Any tips?
Is this outfit too 'little girl'? I think the pearls help to make it a little more grown up, but I also kind of feel like I am 10 years old in it (of course, when I was actually 10, I had zero sense of style and would never have worn anything with a bow).

I just loved the look and that sash is wonderful! You don't look ten you look classic with an updated pearl look.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mama Mia! Classic! Chic! For the static, try a snuggle softener, or another softener sheet, that you use in the dryer. Rub it all over inside the skirt. Hope that helps. I remember those static days! Static hair! Static clothes! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit and your the Christmas preview table - great job!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the kind compliments and the static help!
ReplyDeleteThere used to be a spray you could spray for static, can't remember the name (it's been so long since I wore a stylish skirt in the winter, or even any skirt in the winter, that I don't remember, but I like your blog because it gives permission to be stylish/puts fun back into stylish :)) but another static tip that sort of works and is fun to try for science gurus is to rub a hanger over a skirt. It works a little bit :) MB
