Christmas parties are the perfect excuse to wear sparkles, glitter, sequins and anything else shiny. The problem? We only wear these unique pieces ONCE — for that special party. That’s why I'm a fan of Christmas capsule wardrobe — a collection of pieces I can wear again and again. Ok maybe I do treat myself to a small update each year but I try not to buy a whole new outfit for every party I'm invited to.
By mixing and matching clothes you already own with a few statement pieces, you can have a unique festive take on your wardrobe without having lots of outfits you only wear at Christmas.
