Happy December fellow fashionistas… the month of sequins, too much food and drink, lunches/dinners with colleagues (you don’t like), re-runs of shows from 50 years ago, endless Christmas films, all with the same storyline, mom died, dad died, little timmy the cat died, pretty blonde/brunette girl’s business is going to fold, add to that, copious amounts of fake snow, a lot of ‘bbbrrr.. it’s freezing’ dialogue, with appropriate body movements, (probably filmed in L.A and not even cold), hot chocolate (WELL, AN EMPTY CUP OF HOT CHOCOLATE), candy canes, gingerbread houses and halls well and truly decked, don’t get me wrong, I am not actually complaining…………………………..I bloody LOVE it, (I am such a CHILD).
My own start to December hasn’t quite went as planned. Already had to cancel 2 lunches, as in my haste to get out of the house and get for lunch last Sunday, I fell, chipped a bone in ankle and now have a MOONBOOT, I have of course ‘blinged’ it up. This minor setback will not stop me getting into the Festive spirit, no siree, no way Jose, it aint happening. I write this blog with my miniature tree on my workstation and Mr Crooner, Bublé, singing his Christmas tunes… hey, dont knock it, I cant get out to have fun!!!
So, in keeping with all things Christmas, (I know it’s early but before you know it, old droopy drawers will be coming down the chimney), today’s infomercial is…………………………….. THE CHRISTMAS JUMPER or in my case, SWEATSHIRT (my preference). In the past I have point blankly refused to wear such garments , way too uncool, but now, they are not nearly as ugly, some are actually quite kitsch (I team mine with my shorts, opaque’s and boots or with pvc casual trousers .
This is a selection from ETSY, with the cheapest ‘Festive AF’, starting at £14.69 and the most expensive at £39.50, the turtle neck jumper with the Christmas tree on it. Funnily enough, I actually have one or two of these already (from last year), and after putting these pics on, I may be tempted to get another couple…… WHAT???. You try sitting here with this bloody ugly boot on, eating crap, missing gym and spin and watching, in the mirror and on the scales, all the good work of past 8 weeks with PT going literally belly up. It’s an injustice.
On that note, I shall retire to the drawing room with my steaming cup of hot chocolate (with marshmallows of course), curl up, well, curling with this boot on isn’t easy, my Christmas jumper and the remote in my hand, ready to be whisked away by Amazon Prime, to Candy Cane lane or some aptly christmassy named street/town.
As Mr Buble croons, it really is beginning to look a lot like Christmas, especially with this glorious dry, cold weather, that I can see from my window!!!
Day 1 down of my little Advent Calendar of Christmas. Only another 23 to go Fashionistas, bet you cant wait daaahhlliinnggss. (Day 1 of M & S calendar was Clinique lipstick, sorry, NOT, if I have just spoiled this for you but it’s your own fault, you should have opened it, like me, as soon as you got up this morning!!?).
PS – Dont forget
Enjoy being you xx
