Stridilum

Playsuit: Vintage
Belt: Vintage
Cardigan: Primark
Boots: Vintage
Necklace: Etsy


This is what I wore to my old office Christmas party on Friday. I thought I'd wear red to be a little bit festive, everyone else was in their work clothes though so didn't make much difference. Reminded me how glad I am I don't have to wear office wear any more though. Seeing all of my old work friends was really nice, they're all still exactly the same. I miss that time in my life because they really were like my family for a while but I'm glad I left and went to uni because the job was a dead end. They made the newest team member dress up in a Santa dress on the fake premise that the newest one always hands out the secret santa gifts. The poor woman went along with it and everything!
There was a flurry of snow as we were on the bus to the restaurant and it finally got me in the christmas mood. I don't have much christmas spirit normally, this year even less so for some reason but it was a nice little touch. It did lead to being snowed into my Dad's house all of Saturday though.
Has everyone got all their Christmas shopping done? I've still got to get one last present although half of them haven't come in the post either so I'm going to be handing out a lot of IOUs this year.

This outfit is so cute! I love that you look festive without looking like a walking Christmas tree or anything.

I've only done maybe a quarter of my Christmas shopping, but hey! If they love me, they'll except their gift late, haha.

I love the color of your dress. Such a pretty shade of red. And that poor woman! Sometimes it sucks to be the new person.

You look lovely! I really like the colour of the dress with that belt.

I'm going to be handing out at least one IOU this year, I've only knitted one mitten so far...

Woo good to see you posting again :) You look great! I love red dresses and this one is no exception! I love it with the brown belt and the grey cardigan. I don't think I would've styled it any different than you did!
