Christmas 2020 is just around the corner and one thing is for sure; it is certainly going to be very different this year. Due to the restrictions that remain in place due to Covid-19 (and the very recent extra tightening of restrictions that have just been announced), many people will be opting for a quiet Christmas at home this year. And whilst this may not be exactly what we all had planned for the festive period and the end of an extremely challenging year, we will all be finding ways to make the day special, creating some Christmas magic and happiness.
A normal Christmas in our household would see us heading to see relatives to exchange gifts in the morning (or having them over to us) and then going to my mum's or the in-laws' for Christmas dinner. This year we will be celebrating at home so it is certainly going to be a little quieter, a little less busy and a little bit different.
Normally on Christmas after we open the presents, we would all dress up, each of us in something a little bit fancy: a shirt for my husband, a dress for me, and Christmas jumpers for the boys. We did think about staying in our pyjamas all day and whereas a large portion of the day will be spent in relaxing loungewear, we have all decided that if there was ever a year to dress up, to celebrate in style and feel a little bit pampered, it is the year of 2020! And so we shall certainly be dressing up in some of our finest party clothes to bring a little bit of glamour and sparkle to the day!
And so when Joe Browns got in touch to see if we would like to take part in their Frock It- It's Christmas campaign which looks at how Brits are celebrating Christmas up and down the country, we jumped at the chance. I was delighted to be given the opportunity to pick my Christmas day outfit!
Joe Brown's Oriental DressFor me, Christmas outfits always have to have a bit of shimmer in them and so this dress certainly did not disappoint. This beautiful dress with its satin jacquard and its unique mandarin collar is the perfect dress to wear on Christmas day. It features a delicate floral design and is exceptional quality! After a year of wearing leggings (and maternity trousers!) I just can't wait to wear this gorgeous dress!
Joe Brown's Truly Elegant Coat
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a post-Christmas dinner walk and this coat will mean the style and glamour isn't limited to just the indoor celebrations! It has a stunning and elegant design which reminded me of Kate Middleton's beautiful coats. It has a teal colour, asymmetric gold buttons and creates a lovely silhouette shape- perfect for helping to gently shape my post-baby body! It is also really warm too so even if we have a miracle white Christmas, this coat will not only look the part but will keep me cosy too!
I can't wait to swing into Christmas with a little bit of style and glamour this year. After this long and unsettling year, a bit of Christmas sparkle, happiness and joy is just what we all need!
