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?

Jogging trousers, hoodie and slippers. That is how I shall be for the next two days. Grin

ImAnElfJeSuisUneElf · 25/12/2013 13:04

Up! Well I will be in a minute. Grin

ShoeWhore · 25/12/2013 13:04

Silk dress and high heels. Always like to dress up on Christmas Day, even if it's just us.

SundaySimmons · 25/12/2013 15:32

Every year I wear a red dress.

Some years I've splurged but this year I've bought a simple one from Asos.

It's perfect as I don't like being hot in the kitchen and doesn't clash with my slippers too much!

Middling - t-shirt, tube skirt, cardi but make up and hair done. Oh and Christmas socks.

CarpeVinum · 25/12/2013 15:41

I am wearing a cashmere (barginous 26 euro) dress over leggings with holes and bleach splashes from ankle to knee. And duvet.

I will push the boat out for regulation Red Knickers For Luck on NYE.

Rufustherednosedreindeer · 25/12/2013 15:51

Until 20 mins ago I had my new cigarette trousers from river island a black t shirt and a statement necklace. I now have pj bottoms on with a my t shirt and necklace....they are tartan!!! In another hour or two I will be completely in my pjs

DH jeans and smart shirt, ds1 his new onsie, dd her new party dress, ds2 smart trousers and Christmas themed long t shirt, my dad and his wife are in Christmas jumpers and black trousers

At home all we have done is pop to the graveyard. Should go for a walk but really can't be bothered

moominleigh94 · 25/12/2013 15:51

Vaguely dressed up for now. Red dress (only thing that fits over bump) and maternity jeans, but will be changing into jamas in a bit.

CarpeVinum · 25/12/2013 17:32

I am now in pajamas. It rained. The guttering of the low roof in the back went Niagra Falls.

I got covered in muck scooping in out...... lots of bread rolls?!?!?!?!?!? Confused

I have no idea how lots of bread rolls got in my guttering. I am not sure I want to know. All I know is fishing out soggy bread rolls of an overflowing guttering and down pipe in pouring rain dictates a change of clothes post shower,

It is loverly to be in fluffy pajamas and all comfortable. Dinner won't mind if I cook it in an inelegant state of dress.

LaTrucha · 25/12/2013 17:41

Well, I tried dressed up casual, which meant wearing heels in the house with a sequin t'shrt.

First of all I trod on DS in the heels in an over present stumble Blush

Since then, D bro has said I look like something out of the hobbit .... you know with armour on ... no! but nice, really! ... like Mithrail ...

DS has said I look 'scaly'

DD's contribution was, 'You know: like a sparkly fish.'

DH has said nothing, except to question why I was having a glass of win after the meal was finished.

And breathe. Composure is the most flattering thing...

AmberNectarine · 25/12/2013 17:42

In between - navy cashmere crew neck, Goldsign skinnies, silver statement necklace, Jimmy Choo glittery anthracite high tops and a silver a Kenzo tiger ring.

ZenNudist · 25/12/2013 17:43

Dressed up as much as i can. Went out for posh restaurant lunch but would still try look nice on Christmas Day even when staying in.

Maternity wrap dress, nice earrings, done my hair & make up & nails. Since we got home added a cashmere cardi and slippers!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 25/12/2013 17:43

Pmsl at mithrail - sounds brilliant!

BikeRunSki · 25/12/2013 17:47

Black skinnies
Tatty pale grey round neck jumper
Big chunky dark grey wrap around cardy
Long sleeved purple t layer underneath

Was black running leggings and neon pink cagoule earlier

trashcanjunkie · 25/12/2013 17:48

tigerdriverII · 25/12/2013 17:55

Earlier a red wiggle dress, heels and full make up.

Now, purple jeggings, stiletto boots with an ankle bracelet and a Versace tshirt. I know how to do classy, yes I do.

Merry xmaaaaaaaaaas!

bebbeau · 25/12/2013 17:57

LaTrucha · 25/12/2013 18:34

Safe to say, I'll not be wearing my mithrail again, save to go on a dragon-slaying quest. Apart from today. It is staying on all day today.

EarSlaps · 25/12/2013 18:44

A £4 Great Plains jumper dress and £10 Christmas leggings from Primark. Dressy but nothing tight around my bloated belly now.

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 25/12/2013 19:21

am in pj's first time ever on christmas day.
we got dressed to go for a walk then bath hotchocolate and pj's again.

tomorrow will have to be dressed up so love the snuggyness of today

PosyNarker · 25/12/2013 21:49

Casual but a bit more effort than my scabby trackies. Nice wool dress, make-up & nails done but been in my nice slipper boots (present from MIL) for most of the say.

Mrswellyboot · 25/12/2013 22:00

Casual as was at in laws who are very relaxed and i have a new baby. So jeans and white tshirt with a boyfriend red cardi. Wore make up and nice jewellery though.

Neverland2013 · 25/12/2013 22:12

Always dressed up, it makes me feel a little bit more special! :o) Merry Christmas.

AlwaysSleepingBeauty · 25/12/2013 22:48

Dressed up a little; stripey navy and white long sleeved tshirt from Topshop boutique, black maxi skirt with cranberry coloured tights underneath and shoe boots.

scarlet76 · 25/12/2013 23:19

I'm just not a stay in your pyjamas kind of a person. I wore cream lace blouse, black pleather pencil skirt, black opaques and heeled red ankle boots.
