Dress it up

PULL OUT THE STOPS

It’s time to go all out and celebrate the festive season in style

By Jill Ellis-Worthington

More events with more people – that’s the word on the street, as companies and social organizations are getting back to ‘business as usual’ by hosting parties after an enforced nearly three-year hiatus.

It’s time to get up, dress up and go out on the town in sleek, shimmering dresses and gowns or party-ready pantsuits. Outfits that say ‘it’s time to celebrate’ demand the proper setting in which to shine, so accept those invitations and strut your stuff.

On the flip side, you’ll also be able to get the entire family together for a long-awaited reunion. So, send out the invitations far and wide to make sure cousins, second cousins, nephews, nieces and in-laws are there to reconnect. They’ll be admiring your sparkly top or stunning sweater.

It’s time to enjoy family, friends and colleagues in festive fashion.

Wear this Marie Saint Pierre Wegasi jacket over a sheer Danton top and George leggings (from the same designer) and you’re ready for the chicest party. Up the ante by adding Pono Viki clip earrings and a Dean Davidson Castle ring. Available at Hangar9.

You’ll be picture perfect for the family holiday card photo shoot in this taupe black mesh top with sheet sleeves and cinched stretch bodice. By Frank Lyman and available at Lifestyles Women’s Wear.

Capture playful holiday spirit in these colourful print, retro-look pieces from Mi Jong Lee. ABOVE Metallic Kaleidoscope fitted pleat sleeve jacket. RIGHT Metallic Kaleidoscope cap sleeve fit and flare dress. Both are available at Hangar9. ~ Continued on page 17
