Do you have anything new....

I have a new velvet dress from East in a dusky mauve colour which is a bit big as I have lost weight so I may wear my slouchy velvet trousers and a champagne coloured sparkly jumper from Monsoon. We like to dress well but be comfortable too. DH has asked me to pick out a shirt for him!!!

We always have to wear something new to church and for Christmas, a family tradition! But it's usually new socks or underwear these days! DH has given up buying me clothes
( never fit!) but I still buy one or two new items for both DDs and DGC.

I have a choice of 2 sweaters - 1 with sequins worn once or new M & S Sweater, either one worn with my favourite Jeggings, going to DD's so Jeans are the order of the day. Looked for a Winter/Christmas Sweater but didn't see anything I liked

I bought a gorgeous mustard jumper to wear Christmas Eve at a family meal in a restaurant. I never wear jumpers but it was perfect with the skirt I was wearing at the time. Oh and it was half price...hahaha

Christmas Day I am spending alone...think I will buy some new PJ especially for that

I have just cut the top of a lovely plum coloured velvet evening dress, essential for another life, put some elastic around the top and yeah a lovely skirt which I will get a lot of wear out of. I have just worn it with a raspberry coloured top from the depths for our Christmas apero do. Looked and felt good. I will wear it on Christmas Day with some other top retrieved from the past. Best advice I was once given when having my colours done, was ifyoulike and it's your colour then buy it, it will always coordinate with other things.

Nothing new - can't find anything I like anymore in the shops . I will probably wear an old favourite red top and black trousers. Need to keep cool as we are all 15 of us at my 94 year old mum's who can't travel anymore ,I'm cooking Christmas dinner with "help"' from everyone . The house is large and Victorian with a cooker to match ! But with us all there and the heating pumping out to keep Mum warm I would expire in a woolly Christmas jumper. Sad as this will probably her last Christmas .Mind you we've said this for the past 5 years !

A pair of sparkly black trousers,a black top and kimono with pink sparkle running through-all bought in sales especially for Christmas.Don't know when I will wear them again though!

I have given up on planning new clothes for Christmas. I spend the day cooking and Grandchilding. I'd rather not spend my time worrying about getting grubby.

Beautiful new red jumper dress to wear with black leggings and pumps so hope its a cool day or I will have a face to match ?

No, I never buy anything new in the run up to Christmas, for financial reasons! But if all is well (financially speaking)after Christmas then I enjoy going round the sales in January and buying a couple of things. It's something to look forward to in the dreariest month of the year.

Lost 3 and a half stones this year and dropped from a size 20 to 14 so everything in my wardrobe is new!!!
I had a swing type dress from M&S in black and electric blue that I bought for my Youngest son's wedding two years ago. I cut the top of and made a very elegant full skirt that I will wear with a strappy black top and a fine lace black cardigan. No cooking for me this year - off to DD's for dinner ?

Wow well done Lynnebo!

We're all going for the Christmas jumper this year. All for charity, bit of a laugh but I'll probably get too hot

Had a new dress last year, sapphire/emerald swirls.
Bought a rather nice cream jumper with gold robins on it at Asda. Didn't cost a fortune and is cheerful. Shall wear that when the DGC come. Bit of fun.
My policy these days for clothes is 1 in 1 out, or vice versa... the charity shop benefits and i have a new wardrobe constantly!

Thank you! ?

Oh yes- have to something sparkly for Christmas day!!
This year I bought a sparkly top with mistletoe on it from Not on The High Street. Can't wait to wear it but it may be a bit too hot to wear all day so I have a lighter one put by just in case but I really want Carerof123's top!!! Sounds gorgeous- I love jewel colours.

I have the most amazing (imo!) skirt from Asda, shortish, black but sequins in silver and gold on the front. Looks fantastic worn with black. Not just imo either. I wore it to a Christmas lunch with DB and SiL a couple of weeks ago and they were bowled over too. Sorry, I like glitter!

and sparkle

Lynnebo, that sounds fantastic! GrandMattie, sapphire and emeralds, WOW! Love those colours.

well. dark blue and green don't sound as good!

Deep purple top from White Stuff at John Lewis. It has sleeves that cover the tops of my arms.

Bought a silver and grey tunic in Tesco weeks ago which was in the sale at £5. Never worn it yet so it will wear it with leggings on Christmas Day. I have a M&S top to wear on Christmas Eve when we always meet up with friends. I couldn't find a skirt I liked and then remembered one at the back of the wardrobe which I reckon is 20 years old. Works perfectly with the top so outfit sorted!

I end up with the same old sparkly top that is cool and comfy.

Visions of being the hostess groomed and styled within an inch of my life will remain visions!

Cooking, and the fact that the other guests want a 'warm' house, finds me in a tee-shirt and no makeup until they arrive. I'd be in a cami-top if I could get away with it. Sometimes I am so behind I don't get to the makeup.

Will make an effort this year as I got my husband a nice camera as he's hopeless with his phone camera. We will have piccies hopefully to message/email to DGD and parents visiting mum's family in Germany.

Dont have anywhere to go on Christmas day any longer, so will wear ancient M & S velvet trousers and a red top .....still looking presentable after all the years I have had them ! Will wear my Christmas Rudolph with the flashing nose red jumper for doing the shopping this week ! ....and then I shall treat myself in the sales to something new ...trouble is there is hardly ever anything I want ..but Im sure I will find something !

Shorts and loose t shirt. I do not have any jumpers as you can possibly guess I am always just SO HOT. It's not menopause just how I am. Melting even in middle of winter.
