‘tis the season - and all that. Have you got a dressy/festive outfit or capsule to get you through all the various and sundry festive activities on your itinerary for the next 6 weeks?


Are you a dressy trousers and satin button down type of person, or do you prefer a one-and-done dress? Do you mix and match your dressier pieces or have specific go-to outfits? Are jeans and a festive sweater your nod to the holidays or are there some grand occasions calling for sparkle and shine?

Are you ready?

I’ve got several events calling for ‘smart casual’, and one ‘ball’ coming up. Everything in finds below has been in my closet for a while, and worn - with the exception of the ball skirt. Due to a size change since I got my last ball skirt (2017) I passed it on, and thrifted a new one for a song (Holt Renfrew - Made in Canada!!). Who ever goes through two
ball skirts in a life time!?! Anyway, I’m set for the season - though if the right dressy button down (silk/satin?) pops up, I’d add it to the collection.
