Christmas Day outfit with this hat, help please

I recently had to start chemo for breast cancer and now have lost all my hair. I want to dress up a bit for Christmas Day and treat myself to something new as I feel I've lost myself a bit.

I already have this hat so bonus points for a style that would match, but I'd welcome alternative hat/headscarf suggestions if that makes it easier to put an outfit together

I'm 36, size 10-12. I have two small children so it needs to be an outfit that's quick and easy to put on, and I don't really like frilly bits. I'm 5'10 and feel the cold easily so would prefer arms fully covered and a highish neckline.

Thanks for any tips x

Thats a super cute beanie. How fancy do you want to go? https://www.longtallsally.com/lts-tall-berry-red-cord-shirt-dress-p This shirt dress would go well with the beanie, be cosy, and you could put on sparkly tights with it if you wanted to be more extra

Maybe this from Joanie? You could get rid of the bow if it felt too frilly:

Something velvet in the right shade of red always looks smart and Christmassy.

Ooh @CMOTDibbler and @potplantsinparadise those are both really lovely options, thank you! I think I'll have to order both and try them on with the hat and see what looks best
