In an effort to find some Christmas party outfit inspo, I did my usual trawl of websites, Pinterest, my dressing room and magazines for styling gold. Planning ahead is kind of my MO (I know, I’m just too cool…) and I’m sharing an edit of the looks I’ll be rocking under the mistletoe this year.
I’m wanting to create outfits that are classic and a little elegant, but with a dash of something a little edgier in the mix as well. These items are all super versatile (perhaps apart from the Christmas jumper) and easy to restyle into other looks for the rest of the winter.
