I just bought this from eBay and want to wear it on Christmas Day. We are just having a quiet Christmas, family dinner etc, but I'll be seeing family I don't get the chance to see all that often, so I'd still like to look nice.

I am a size 16ish, tallish, apple shape and I tend to suit warm tones.

Can keep it simple with a black or white shirt tucked in, or a nice blue and white pinstrip top would look pretty.

LochJessMonster · 22/11/2019 16:07

These look nice.

I'd wear it with a thin/delicate slightly slouchy jumper in a festive colour, maybe something like this: www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_038020360069_-1

Thanks! I like those, but they look quite summery and would definitely wear it with a breton tshirt and trainers in summer or possibly sandals and a white shirt.

I wonder how I can make it look more wintry though... I've gone for a 16 and I'm more of a 14 / 16, so I may be able to do a partial tuck with a very fine knit sweater as there may be some room at the waist.

X post!

I have got a merino red jumper from Uniqlo, which might work! I will try tucking it in at the front and maybe some chunky leather boots?

Any long sleeved sweater would look fine tucked in.

Christmas jumper with baubles and glitter and all that jazz?! Grin Go for it.

Glittery tights you say? Will have a look!

Can anyone help with feet?

OP posts:
Drizzzle · 22/11/2019 20:07

They look good.I'll just wear slippers on my feet!

Drizzzle · 22/11/2019 20:08

I'd not I'll

DenimSkirt · 22/11/2019 20:10

Ha! I dunno... I'm a SAHM so I don't get the chance to get glammed up very often Halloween Blush! It's the only thing I miss about my work tbh.

I'm tempted to get a dressy wrap top and wearing it with heels and micronet tights or similar...
