I am dressed down today as we are at home all day.
I am wearing a fleece fair isle onesie from boohoo.com.
Tomorrow we are visiting relatives so I will dress up. Not sure what dress I will wear but it will definitely be a pretty dress and high heels occasion!
How about you?

More dressed up than down. Black sequin jumper, black and white boucle mini skirt with a silver thread through it, floral patterned black tights. I didn't intend to get dressed up but the sequins and silver threads were clearly calling to me.

Inbetween. Hush hareems and a white co top. Hugh feeding boobs and post c section tummy so hard to fit into much that's smart.

DCs are watching box set of Sherlock in pjs, dd still in stinky babygrow (will change her in a mo), DH just having shave and shower and am betting will be shorts and polo for him (he is a walking GAP advert and Christmas doesn't change that).

Sort of inbetween. Black velvet skinnies, dark blue cowl neck Phase Eight jumper (present from DM), make up, and vintage 1940s earrings (present from DH). But I'm still in my slippers and have my hair pulled back into a ponytail to prevent it moulting into the Christmas dinner.

A dress, heels, makeup, hair, flashing necklace, the works! Needless to say by the time I've finished cooking ( and
having a festive tipple!) I will look slightly flustered but hey! Least I've tried. Merry Christmas!!!!!!
