Are you ready?

In a spin?

Lost your sparkle?

😬Often at this time of year it seems like everyone else is sparkling joy

😬Enjoying the 'champagne moments'

Remember to fill you glass😉

Never mind being party season ready (my last post) are you ready?  I get to this time of year and get a tightness in my throat as it dawns on my I have done nothing about Christmas Day.  If I pause and ignore the low level panic it's no different to any other year.   

I've got this.

I have decorated - one of my favourite things.  I love dressing the house for winter.  As we come to the longest nights there is a comfort in the smell of pine needles the twinkling lights, bouncing off of the baubles scattered through the house.

As you know I love sparkle and shine - metallics are a neutral and work at any time of year.  At this time of year they hold their own.  Providing a lift both physically and mentally.  I have a touch of metallic or sparkle in everything I wear - an advent calendar of sparkle and shine. So I urge you to embrace your inner magpie and go for it.

Thing you can try 

Jewellery - this can be anything pick a piece a statement piece can make the everyday less every day.

A piece that sparkles, so sequin, lurex or metallic.  Perhaps you have a top or dress that you 'save' for going out.  We all have one tucked away.  Layer it.  A shift dress can be teamed with jeans or trousers with a jumper or jacket layered over.  

Footwear - if you are looking for a new pair of boots try something with stud or a metallic. Honestly every time you look down at your feel you will get a buzz and you can wear them with anything.  I have a pair I wear on repeat all year around.

Makeup - a splash of glitter over the eyelid or brow is and instant highlighter.  I find it more effective than a highlighter as it does not highlight my wrinkles.  :) 

As I write I am looking at my hands - yikes - time to get out the polish and yes it will be metallic.  

Clothes have the power to transform how we feel about ourselves.

You know yourself when you put on a dress that makes you feel unstoppable💫

You have got this!

If after all of this you still think your wardrobe is lacking pizzazz I have you covered.
