Creating a festive outfit doesn't have to be about wearing a Christmas jumper or even a Christmas dress, it can be about whatever you want it to. I am not a fashion or style expert and I have always done my own thing and you should too.
The end.
However, how I did that here was in the cunning use of bright colours and patterns.
I thought it worked as a festive dress because the lolly pattern was quite synonymous with Christmas baubles and also made me think of the Land of Sweets from the Nutcracker ballet
The final detail was my Croc shoes. Although turquoise wasn't an obvious choice, I felt it worked well!
And that's how I created a festive outfit! How would you have created one?

This is such a darling holiday look, Kezzie! I completely agree with doing your own thing too. :) How fun are all your accessories?! They're so perfect!
ReplyDeleteKezzie, you are definitely a fun girl.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year.
Hugs,

Gorgeous outfit and the story behind each item x
ReplyDeleteIf it's not drab it's fab, in my book. Superb choice for xmas.
ReplyDeleteLoved the dress, cotton, lollipops and pockets! You are right, what's not to love! And I loved the shoes, too, and also, the amazing pendant with your name! I think you look so beautiful and yes, we should all dress what we want! I traditionally wear black on Christmas, for personal reasons, but I am slowly introducing some colors to the black outfit. I want to thank you for all your support and kindness, dear Kezzie, may you have a great new year, always with kindness, sweetness, lots of concerts, fun at school, trips, only the best that your heart wishes!

I love it!
ReplyDeleteAw, what an adorable dress, Kezzie! I also love the bauble pendant. What a great idea. The parcel bow earrings from Hazel are adorable! xxx
ReplyDeleteI do agree that Christmas or a festive outfit is not something written in stone, but something we can create ourselves...and I must notice that you have been very creative!!!
ReplyDeleteI love how you created your festive outfit dear. Those earrings are so cute. The necklace with the big DIY pedant is so lovely...what a great idea to use a Christmas ornament as a pedant.
The dress looks amazing on you and the shoes are perfect. You look so beautiful and feminine.
A belated happy Christmas Kezzie! I love the colour clashes in this outfit and agree, bright colours can be Christmassy too. I adore this Pavlava Folk dress, bright colours and lollipops- what's not to love?
ReplyDeleteLove the dress, it's so stylish and suits you so well. And those earrings, well they are just fabulous.

That dress looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comment - I hadn't realised you're in South Africa, I hope you're having a wonderful time!
Definitely a darling outfit, and very festive. The shoes top it off, or rather, bottom it off! And that last photo is priceless!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Kezzie!
Such a lovely dress Kezzie, hope you having a lovely Christmas :) Happy New Year x
ReplyDeleteYour outfit is lovely! And I would say it's festive! You always find the best deals and really lovely clothes :) I hope you had a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year! :) xx
ReplyDeleteI love your dress too... I wish you many great finds and good health for this year. Greetings from Switzerland, Christa
ReplyDeleteYour dress is gorgeous and red is definitely a festive colour. I just put in bauble earrings and called it festive. The rest of my clothes on Christmas day were just normal ;-)
ReplyDeletep.s. Happy New Year! I hope 2017 is an amazing one for you x
DeleteI really like the colour of your shoes here Kezzie, that deep sea green / blue is one of my favourite, and you're right, it compliments the colour of the dress nicely. Love the print on your dress and your necklace is brilliant. I always end up going for deep wine reds and the darker shades for Christmas so it's nice to see some brighter pops of colour here. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! I've got a new blog now, so you can find me at - http://www.thehappylarkspur.wordpress.com - Tasha
ReplyDeleteTotally agree- doing your own thing is the best fashion advice!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute outfit - over here we don't have a lot of traditional holiday clothing like the Christmas jumpers because 1 December is the start of summer!! I love this dress and it will look great any time of year - yah!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this just might be my favourite ever outfit of yours. You look so beautiful and I love every little bit. I planned my Christmas outfit this year (well actually Boxing Day as we spent Christmas in our jammies as nobody was coming round) it was the Lindy Bop Gilda in the alpine print that I missed out on last Christmas and then the Hell Bunny Noelle cardi in red that I wore in blue last year. I felt amazing in it.
